The standalone net profit stood at ₹163.52 crore, up 8.6% from ₹150.57 crore a year ago, while standalone revenue reached ₹1,800.27 crore, compared to ₹1,664.19 crore in the prior year quarter.

Financial Performance

Domestic operations contributed ₹1,913.84 crore to consolidated revenue, up from ₹1,757.52 crore in Q1FY25. International revenue was ₹41.99 crore, slightly higher than the ₹28.76 crore recorded in the previous year. Other income declined marginally to ₹86.90 crore from ₹106.10 crore a year ago.

Note: Consolidated net profit fell 51.9% sequentially from ₹191.46 crore in Q4FY26.

Consolidated finance costs rose significantly to ₹106.98 crore from ₹75.21 crore in Q1FY25. The company recorded a share of loss of ₹13.36 crore from joint ventures, compared to a profit of ₹17.90 crore in the prior year quarter. Standalone finance costs remained low at ₹3.25 crore.

The investor presentation disclosed that consolidated core EBITDA (excluding other income) fell 11.9% to ₹191.80 crore, with margins contracting 238 basis points to 9.8%. In contrast, standalone core EBITDA fell 6.9% to ₹95.50 crore, while standalone EBITDA rose 5.7% to ₹221.80 crore, supported by higher other income of ₹126.30 crore.

What the Numbers Show

While domestic revenue growth of 8.9% supported top-line expansion, the sharp decline in consolidated profitability highlights the impact of joint venture performance and financing costs. The consolidated net profit margin contracted to 4.7% from 9.2% in Q1FY25, primarily due to the swing from a ₹17.90 crore JV profit contribution to a ₹13.36 crore loss this quarter. Additionally, finance costs increased by 42.2% year-on-year, further pressuring bottom-line results.

As on June 30, 2026, Ircon’s order book stood at ₹23,366 crore. Railways constituted 77% of the order book (₹17,989 crore), followed by highways at 16% (₹3,747 crore) and others at 7% (₹1,630 crore).
