Patel Engineering reported FY26 revenue of ₹5,102 crore (flat YoY) and PAT of ₹294 crore (+21% YoY), driven by disciplined execution and non-core asset monetization of ₹185 crore. EBITDA margin improved to 13.41%. The order book stands at ₹15,190 crore, with hydropower comprising 63%. Management guided for 10% revenue growth in FY27 and order inflows of ₹8,000 crore, supported by a strong pipeline of ₹20,000 crore identified and ₹40,000 crore upcoming. Key risks include competitive bidding pressure (lost a large project to a new player) and slow resolution of arbitration awards (₹700 crore tied up in courts).
पटेल इंजीनियरिंग ने वित्त वर्ष 2026 में ₹5,102 करोड़ का राजस्व (पिछले साल के बराबर) और ₹294 करोड़ का शुद्ध लाभ (पिछले साल से 21% ज्यादा) कमाया। यह अच्छे काम और गैर-जरूरी संपत्तियों को ₹185 करोड़ में बेचने से हुआ। कंपनी की कमाई पर खर्च का अनुपात (EBITDA मार्जिन) 13.41% रहा। ऑर्डर बुक ₹15,190 करोड़ है, जिसमें 63% हिस्सा जलविद्युत का है। कंपनी ने अगले साल 10% राजस्व बढ़ोतरी और ₹8,000 करोड़ के नए ऑर्डर का अनुमान लगाया है। इसके लिए ₹20,000 करोड़ के ऑर्डर तैयार हैं और ₹40,000 करोड़ आने वाले हैं। जोखिमों में प्रतिस्पर्धी बोली का दबाव (एक बड़ा ऑर्डर नई कंपनी से हार गए) और ₹700 करोड़ के मध्यस्थता पुरस्कार का कोर्ट में अटका रहना शामिल है।
