Quarter read
What the record says.
IRB reported Q3 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹1,912 crore (down 9% YoY) due to completion of construction projects, but PAT grew 14% YoY to ₹253 crore driven by higher InvIT income and lower interest costs. EBITDA margin expanded ~80bps to ~8.5%. The company won TOT8 for ₹3,087 crore, raising its TOT market share to 44%, and completed the VM7 asset transfer, unlocking ₹520 crore equity. Management guided for zero net debt by 2030 and 25% PAT CAGR, with a robust order book of ₹37,300 crore. Key risk: MLFF technology uncertainty may delay future TOT bids.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management targets consolidated net debt to reach zero by 2030, improving balance sheet strength.
- Expects profit after tax to grow at a CAGR of approximately 25% until 2030.
- Cash return on equity is expected to increase from current 6-8% to 14-15% by 2030.
- Company aims to scale asset base from ₹94,000 Cr to ₹1,40,000 Cr over the next three years.
Risks flagged
- NHAI's mandate for multi-lane free flow on TOT19 led IRB to skip bidding; unresolved recovery mechanism may affect future TOT bids.
- Management noted 20+ bidders per HAM project and EPC bids 45-50% below NHAI estimates, making these segments unattractive.
- New BOT projects are more complex (e.g., structure-heavy) with uncertain traffic and toll structures, limiting IRB's appetite.
- Construction segment revenue fell 31% YoY due to project completions; future EPC revenue depends on selective bidding.
Key quotes
- We have successfully executed our BC that is build execute stable land and transfer strategy monetizing matured assets through our public.
- We are not anti-technology. We are very much for MLFF. The problem is that we want the MLFF to get tested.
- We are structurally building the order book for a medium to long-term kind of nature which we believe will actually help the company build a very solid pipeline.
