Patel Engineering reported Q3 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹1,239 crore and EBITDA of ₹145 crore (11.7% margin), with PAT at ₹71 crore. The order book stands at ₹15,123 crore (book-to-bill 3.08x). Execution momentum continued with key hydro milestones, but margins moderated due to project mix. Management guided for FY27 revenue growth of ~10% and EBITDA margins of 13-14%, supported by a strong bidding pipeline of ₹12,000 crore under evaluation and ₹50,000 crore identified. The rights issue of ₹400 crore and non-core asset monetization (₹185 crore in 9M) are strengthening the balance sheet. However, competitive intensity in large hydro bids (e.g., Dibang project lost to aggressive pricing) and execution ramp-up risks for new orders could pressure margins. The Gongri BOOT project adds long-term revenue visibility but requires upfront capex.
