2-Min Summary
Praj Industries reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹841 crore, flat sequentially, with a net loss of ₹12.4 crore due to a one-time ₹34.4 crore impact from revised labor laws. Excluding this, PAT was ~₹22 crore. The bioenergy segment saw subdued greenfield ethanol orders, but brownfield solutions and DCO orders provided support. Engineering and PHS segments drove order intake of ₹914 crore, with a breakthrough CCUS order from a global oil major and large brewery/ZLD orders. Management guided for GenX order bookings of ₹500 crore+ in FY27 and expects Mangalore facility breakeven in FY27. Risks include delayed policy clarity on SAF and CBG, and slow conversion of JVs with IOCL/BPCL into tangible orders.
