What the record says.
V.L. Infraprojects delivered solid FY26 results with revenue crossing the ₹150 crore milestone at ₹150.04 crore (+23.8% YoY), EBITDA of ₹16.53 crore (+25.7% YoY), and PAT of ₹8.42 crore (+~20% YoY). H2 FY26 showed acceleration with 26.6% revenue growth. The company maintains a healthy order book of ~₹280 crore (~1.87x trailing revenue) with 18 ongoing projects and a ~25% bid-win ratio. Management targets 20-25% growth for FY27. Key concerns include heavy Gujarat concentration (67%+ revenue), competitive EPC margin pressure keeping net margins at ~5.6%, and working capital intensity (negative operating cash flow despite improvement). The company is pursuing geographic diversification into Odisha, Bihar, UP and sector diversification into power and railways via back-to-back arrangements. JJM projects are largely complete, with AMRIT 2.0 and state-funded projects now driving execution. Raw material pass-through via price escalation clauses provides margin protection against steel/pipe price inflation.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management stated they target to maintain previous growth rate of 20-25% in FY27, supported by current order book of 280 crore and 150 crore in advanced discussions.
- Prioritizing Operation & Maintenance contracts as repeat revenue stream. Projects executed 5+ years ago are now completing warranty periods and coming up for O&M tenders for 5-10 year tenures.
- Target to enter power and railway sectors via back-to-back/subcontracting arrangements (not direct qualification due to current eligibility constraints). Management expects power and railway projects to contribute from FY27-28.
- Targeting ~50% revenue from non-Gujarat markets within 2-3 years (currently ~33% given Gujarat at 67%+). Exploring Odisha, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh for project opportunities.
Risks flagged
- Analyst directly questioned why margins remain around 5.6% despite strong growth. Management acknowledged competitive business dynamics but deflected on whether EBITDA margins can sustainably reach 12-13%. Net margin expansion appears structurally constrained.
- Company reported negative operating cash flow in FY26 (improved from prior year negative of 120 crore). Retention money outstanding of ~6 crore across projects. Growth requires additional working capital; BG limits enhanced to support but dependency on timely government payments remains.
- Analyst asked about percentage of projects completed within original committed timeline. Management gave non-specific response about managing scattered projects across 50-60 villages. No historical on-time completion rate disclosed.
- With only 18 ongoing projects and limited workforce expansion plans, company may need JV/partnership structures for larger contracts. Diversification into new sectors (power/railways) requires back-to-back arrangements due to qualification limitations, potentially impacting margins.
Key quotes
- Gujarat is the best place for getting the English as per as my experience... We majorly we are working in Gujarat because of faster payments.
- We are looking for diversification. At present we are in only water sector. We are looking for the opportunities in power sector and railways also.
- Definitely we can achieve. In the coming 10 months also we can order increase.
