Construction Firm Grabs Spotlight After Posting 160% YoY Rise in Q2 Profit

A prominent infrastructure-construction company made headlines today, following its Q2 results that showcased impressive profit growth across key metrics. With a market cap of around ₹7,080 crore, the company’s shares surged over 3% in today’s trading session—moving from approximately ₹281.45 to ₹291.

Q2 FY26: Result Highlights

  • Revenue from operations declined to ₹1,128 crore in Q2 FY26, down about 21% YoY from ₹1,427 crore in Q2 FY25. On a quarterly basis, revenue was also down 22% from ₹1,423 crore in Q1 FY26.

  • Net profit (PAT) for the quarter, however, soared — from ₹83 crore in Q2 FY25 to ₹216 crore in Q2 FY26, representing about a 160% YoY jump. On a quarterly basis, though, profit was down almost 50% from Q1 FY26’s ₹431 crore.

About the Company & What’s Driving the Surge

The company is a leading player in infrastructure development, with execution experience across highways, bridges, flyovers, airport runways, industrial areas, railways and transmission lines. So far it has completed over 90 major projects across 13 states, of which 66 are road-EPC projects.

Its current order book stands at about ₹20,100 crore — with 71% of the orders coming from roads, highways, railways, airport runway and canal projects.

Importantly, the company is now branching out beyond its core roads & highways business — it has secured a solar EPC contract worth about ₹2,000 crore (for a 300 MW solar plant) and a mining contract worth ~₹2,957 crore for a coal-handling/transport project.

Additionally, the company collaborates with multiple governmental / public-sector agencies across India — including the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), NHPC Limited, the Airports Authority of India (AAI), RITES Limited, Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL), Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) among others.

What to Watch Going Forward

  • The large profit jump is encouraging, but the decline in revenue and the drop in QoQ profit suggest volatility and possibly project-timing or recognition issues.

  • With the evolution into solar and mining, the company is diversifying — success in these newer verticals could provide future growth catalysts.

  • Maintaining execution discipline in existing large infrastructure orders (roads, railways, airport works) will be vital for sustaining momentum.

  • Given the share price had some room (~18.5% down from its 52-week high) before today’s move, market sentiment may lean positive if upcoming results and order wins deliver.
