Nalin J. Gupta, managing director, commented, FY 2026 was a year of consolidation for the company, with operating and financial performance moderating compared to FY 2025. The impact was largely operational and timing-related, stemming from external factors that temporarily slowed execution. Through this phase, we maintained a strong balance sheet and adequate liquidity, ensuring resilience and continuity of operations.

Importantly, this period has strengthened our foundation for the future. The current fiscal year has already seen significant order intake. The company has so far booked orders in excess of Rs 4,500 cr in the current fiscal. Considering the strong bid pipeline, we expect the momentum of order booking to continue, which provides us significant headroom to accelerate the execution. With a solid order book, improving execution velocity, and expanding capabilities across our core verticals, we are well positioned to translate this pipeline into sustained growth.

We remain committed to disciplined execution, agility in a dynamic market environment, and delivering transformative infrastructure projects that support economic progress at scale. Backed by the strength of our people and a clear strategic vision, I am confident that the year ahead will mark the beginning of a stronger growth trajectory and create lasting value for all stakeholders.'

The company's board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 4 per equity share of face value Rs 5 each, equivalent to 80% for FY26, subject to shareholders' approval at the ensuing annual general meeting.
