PNC Infratech Revises FY26 Growth Guidance to 5% Amid Project Delays
PNC Infratech has reduced its FY26 growth guidance from 15-20% to 5% due to delays in appointed dates for major Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) projects and subdued NHAI awarding activity. The company reported a 26% decline in H1 FY26 standalone revenue to Rs 2,119.00 crore. Q2 FY26 standalone revenue was Rs 983.00 crore, with EBITDA at Rs 136.00 crore (13.90% margin) and PAT at Rs 86.00 crore (8.80% margin).
