Financial Highlights

Consolidated financial data for LCC Projects Limited shows consistent revenue growth over the past three years.

Metric FY 2024 FY 2025 FY 2026
Revenue from Operations (₹ crores) 2438.91 2918.29 3600.25
Total Profit (₹ crores) 122.00 223.62 286.44
Total Assets (₹ crores) 1129.99 1727.46 2447.54

Objects of the Issue

The company plans to utilize the proceeds from the IPO for the following purposes:

  • Purchase of equipment including SANY Model SKT105S Wide Body Dump Truck and SANY Model SY870LC-10HD HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR (₹14.69 crores).
  • Prepayment and/or repayment of outstanding borrowings (₹180.00 crores).
  • General corporate purposes including strategic initiatives and funding growth opportunities.

Risk Factors

Material risks associated with the company include:

  • Heavy dependence on government projects, which constitute 89.34% of revenue in Fiscal 2026.
  • Significant contingent liabilities totaling ₹1,299.86 million as of March 31, 2026.
  • High debt-to-equity ratio of 0.97 as of March 31, 2026.
  • Geographic concentration in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
  • High employee attrition rate of 23.94% in Fiscal 2026.

How might the significant reliance on government projects and policy changes impact LCC Projects' revenue stability post-IPO?

Given the high debt-to-equity ratio compared to peers, will the repayment of ₹180 crores in borrowings sufficiently improve the company's financial leverage?

What is the projected timeline for LCC to diversify its customer base beyond its top ten clients to mitigate concentration risk?
