Financial Highlights

Particulars FY 2026 (₹ crores) FY 2025 (₹ crores) FY 2024 (₹ crores)
Revenue from Operations 241.25 180.07 153.98
Total Profit (PAT) 33.03 21.10 17.39
Total Equity 155.26 122.06 68.93

Revenue grew from ₹153.98 crores in FY24 to ₹241.25 crores in FY26, while PAT rose from ₹17.39 crores to ₹33.03 crores over the same period. Total equity more than doubled from ₹68.93 crores in FY24 to ₹155.26 crores in FY26.

Objects of the Issue

  • Funding working capital requirements: ₹115.00 crores towards incremental working capital to support business operations including participation in BharatNet Phase III and expansion into Railway Signalling & Telecom.
  • Funding capital expenditure requirements: ₹15.41 crores for procuring machinery or equipment including Horizontal Directional Drilling machines.
  • General corporate purposes: Funds for general corporate expenses, growth opportunities, and contingencies.

Risk Factors

  • Revenue Concentration: More than 90% of revenue comes from telecom and sewerage infrastructure verticals; any slowdown in these sectors could materially impact performance.
  • Customer Concentration: Top 10 customers contributed 97.96% of revenue in FY26; loss of any major customer could significantly impact revenue.
  • Government Dependence: 57.09% of revenue in FY26 was derived from government sector entities, exposing the company to payment delays, aggressive bidding competition, and potential contract modifications.

What's Next

The IPO closed on 28-08-2026. Allotment date and listing date are yet to be announced. Investors should monitor the registrar's website for allotment status updates. Basis of allotment will depend on the final oversubscription levels in each category.

Will the strong retail momentum on Day 2 be sufficient to overcome the moderate QIB interest and push the total subscription above 1x by the August 28 close?

How might the company's heavy reliance on government clients (57% of revenue) impact its cash flow stability and valuation multiples post-listing?

Given that the top 10 customers account for nearly 98% of revenue, what strategies does Annu Projects have to diversify its client base in the medium term?
