Revenue from operations dropped 8% year-on-year to ₹773.72 crore from ₹845.05 crore.

Despite the top-line contraction, the company maintained operational resilience with an EBITDA margin of 22.9%, reflecting disciplined execution in its core infrastructure businesses.

Standalone revenue from operations stood at ₹543.36 crore, down from ₹603.71 crore in Q1FY26. Standalone net profit decreased to ₹60.44 crore from ₹86.77 crore in the corresponding period last year.

Segmental Analysis
The company’s performance varied across its three primary business segments. The Water segment remained the largest contributor to revenue, generating ₹315.59 crore, while Transport contributed ₹272.69 crore. Tunneling and Rehabilitation saw a sharper decline, with revenue falling to ₹185.44 crore from ₹218.25 crore in Q1FY26. Segment result for Water rose to ₹98.04 crore from ₹87.40 crore, indicating improved margins in this division, whereas Transport segment result contracted to ₹56.75 crore from ₹78.97 crore.
What the Numbers Show
A key analytical observation is the divergence between continuing operations profitability and total net profit. While profit from continuing operations declined by 20% to ₹90.46 crore, the total net profit fell by 44% due to the disproportionate impact of discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations more than doubled to ₹34.10 crore, significantly eroding the bottom line. This suggests that the core infrastructure business remains relatively stable with healthy margins, but legacy or divested assets are currently dragging down overall group profitability.
Strategic Developments
Welspun Enterprises signed a definitive agreement to divest its entire shareholding in Welspun Aunta-Simaria Project Private Limited (WASPPL) at an enterprise value of approximately ₹1,000 crore. The buyer is BIIF Infrastructure II Private Limited, fully held by Build India Infrastructure Fund. The transaction is subject to approvals from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and lenders. This move aligns with the company’s capital recycling strategy to remain asset-light.
Additionally, the company received all clearances for the Dharavi-Ghatkopar Tunnel Project and executed a Sub-Concession Agreement for the Pune-Shirur Road Project. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents stood at ₹1,792 crore as of June 30, 2026, supporting its robust order book of over ₹18,729 crore.
