Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
high
Order book conversion risk
Despite ₹2,700 crore in advanced discussions, conversion to orders is uncertain and may not materialize as expected.
Forex exposure from USD/INR volatility
While management has shifted to USD-denominated contracts, residual INR/USD exposure remains and could impact margins.
CBG margin ramp-up uncertainty
CBG margins are initially guided at 14-15%, but scalability to 18-20% is unproven and depends on project execution.
Project execution delays persist
Kenya project and BOO land acquisition delays pushed revenues to FY27; similar slippages could recur.
Margin recovery dependent on revenue scale
EBITDA margin guidance cut to 10-12% due to lower revenue absorption; if FY27 growth disappoints, margins may stay below 14%.
Order book conversion uncertainty
Despite 60% coverage for FY27, management refrained from committing to 30-40% growth, citing execution risks.
Working capital strain from large orders
Previous large IGO order impacted working capital; new large orders could increase days if not managed.
