Knowledge Marine delivered a standout Q3 FY26 with revenue of ₹90 crore (up 56% YoY), EBITDA margin of 43%, and PAT of ₹32.89 crore (34% margin). The quarter benefited from scaling efficiencies, improved realizations, and strong demand across dredging, charter hire, and shipbuilding. The order book stands at ₹1,500 crore, with a bid pipeline exceeding ₹3,000 crore, driven by inland waterway expansion and green tug contracts. Management guided that the tonnage tax regime will reduce effective tax to less than 1% of turnover, boosting net margins. Fleet utilization is at 100%, and the company raised ₹285 crore via preferential issue to fund capex. Key risk: execution delays if vessel acquisition for new contracts is slower than anticipated.
