Balance Sheet and Capital Structure
Total segment assets increased to ₹44,561.28 million as of June 30, 2026, from ₹37,454.89 million a year earlier, largely due to higher assets in the Infrastructure Projects segment (₹10,159.25 million vs ₹6,388.55 million). Total borrowings, including term loans and working capital loans, rose to ₹10,834.90 million from ₹9,889.56 million in June 2025.
The company completed a preferential allotment of 9,223,402 equity shares at ₹470 per share in July 2026, raising ₹4,335.00 million. This capital infusion supports ongoing project execution and balance sheet strengthening. The shares are pending listing approval from NSE and BSE.
What the Numbers Show
The disproportionate growth in net profit (26.7%) relative to revenue growth (4.4%) indicates significant operational leverage and margin expansion, particularly within the Infrastructure Projects segment. While material costs rose proportionally with revenue, the surge in high-margin infrastructure contracts appears to have driven overall profitability. However, total comprehensive income turned negative at (₹364.48 million) due to unrealized losses of ₹1,240.50 million on commodity/currency hedge derivatives recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), highlighting exposure to foreign exchange and input cost volatility despite hedging strategies.
