2-Min Summary
Mahindra EPC Irrigation reported FY26 revenue of ₹315.8 crore, up 14.8% YoY, outperforming industry growth of ~6-7%. PBT improved to ₹17 crore from ₹10.7 crore, aided by a 1% material cost saving and better product mix. However, Q4 PAT fell to ₹6.44 crore (vs ₹9.4 crore) due to a sharp 58-59% spike in raw material prices in March and delayed state fund releases. The non-subsidy business reached a record 35% of revenue (from 3% in FY20), improving cash flow resilience. Management sees an inflection point for the industry with policy support and GST reduction, but raw material volatility and state payment delays remain key risks. The order book for irrigation projects stands at ₹55 crore with ₹20 crore upside. The company is focused on product mix optimization and expanding non-subsidy segments to mitigate margin pressure.
