Gross margins dropped sharply to ~21% in Q4 from 53-54% in Q2-Q3 due to project mix and inventory purchases. Management attributed this to inventory buildup (₹37 crore) for upcoming projects and reclassification of expenses, but this raises questions about margin sustainability.
New auditors adopted different classification rationales. Subcontract expenses were reclassified between COGS and other expenses across quarters. FY26 full-year numbers have been restated but prior-year comparisons remain affected, making trend analysis challenging.
Order book mix shifted materially towards roads (now ~40% vs ~21% slope stabilization). Road projects have 5-7% win rate versus 33-50% for slope stabilization, indicating highly competitive bidding. Lower slope share may pressure margins as the company scales.
A significant portion of the order book and pipeline involves strategically important projects in J&K, Ladakh, and border areas. Any geopolitical tension or operational delays could impact execution timelines and revenue recognition.
