Revenue guidance

Category 2
  • The company targets revenue growth of about 20% to 25% annually, maintaining this range for FY '26 and looking similarly towards FY '27 and '28.
  • Order inflow for FY '26 is expected around INR 15,000 to 16,000 crores, with 35% contributed by the parent Adani Group.
  • The existing order book of approximately INR 18,820 crores is expected to be executed over 1.5 years.
  • The company aims to focus on larger ticket size orders (usually over INR 300-500 crores), which lead to better margins and reduced competition.
  • Growth is supported by expanding into new segments like airports, data centers, and increased participation across multiple infrastructure categories beyond marine.
  • The organization has adequate capacity (manpower and machinery) and strong knowledge base, enabling it to sustain at least 25% growth without major constraints.
  • Operating leverage benefits are balanced by competitive bidding strategies to secure more jobs.

Margin guidance

Category 3

  • PAT margins have shown consistent improvement, from 3.6% to 5.4%, and management views 5% PAT as healthy for the industry, with potential for further growth.
  • Operating leverage benefits are moderated due to previous bad projects but stabilized EBITDA at around 10% in recent quarters.
  • Bidding strategy balances growth and margins; pursuing larger projects with potentially better margins and less competition.
  • Expected capex around INR 280-300 crores for FY '26 supports expansion and growth capacity.
  • Earnings growth will benefit from a larger order book, increased order sizes, and improved efficiency as execution scales.
  • Parent company orders constitute a significant portion (~30-35%) of the order pipeline, supporting sustained growth.
