Revenue guidance

Category 1
  • For MIPL, revenue is expected to grow conservatively; FY27 target is INR400-500 crores with a potential increase to around INR600 crores, but not doubling rapidly due to the nature and size of slope works (INR20-230 crores projects).
  • SRM standalone FY26 revenue guidance is INR800-900 crores; consolidated revenue expected to exceed INR1,000 crores.
  • FY27 consolidated revenue anticipated to cross INR1,500 crores, reflecting a growth rate of 70-90%.
  • Order book expected to rise from INR2,000 crores by end of FY26 to INR3,000 crores by June 2026.
  • MIPL turnover anticipated around INR250-350 crores in FY26, with 9-month billing at INR90 crores and a strong Q4.
  • Bid pipeline remains strong at INR4,000 crores with a minimum expected order conversion of INR1,500 crores.
  • Growth in slope and niche segments (slope stabilization, tunnels) is moderate but margins are higher; road projects continue contributing significant revenue with good margins.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • FY27 revenue guidance: INR1,500 crores+ consolidated, exhibiting 70%-90% growth pace conservatively (Page 14).
  • EBITDA margins expected to sustain or improve, with PAT margins around 10%-11% anticipated for FY27 (Pages 7 and 22).
  • Higher-margin segments like slope stabilization expected to grow steadily but not double rapidly; e.g., MIPL slope business projected to grow from INR400 crores in FY27 to around INR600 crores (Page 22).
  • Margins improved partly due to capex infusion (INR70-75 crores this year, targeting INR100 crores next year), supporting operational efficiency and profitability (Pages 8 and 13).
  • International expansion in GCC (Abu Dhabi, Oman, Saudi Arabia) targeting better-than-India margins, though no specific numbers shared yet (Page 8).
  • EPS grew 51% YoY to INR10.5 per share in Q3 FY26, reflecting strong earnings momentum (Page 6).
  • Focus on selective, high-margin projects to sustain earnings quality (Pages 7,16).
