J Kumar targets ₹6,500 cr revenue, ₹25,000 cr order book
Management guided for 15% topline growth in FY27 and expects ₹9,000-10,000 cr in new orders this year.
What's new
- FY27 revenue guidance is ₹6,500 cr, a 15% increase over the prior year.
- Order book hit a record ₹25,000 cr after ₹6,300 cr in Q1 wins, including a ₹1,770 cr L1 bid.
- TBM assembly for the GMLR tunnel is advanced; physical work on the Versova-Dahisar Coastal Road has begun.
Why this matters
The guidance sets a clear growth benchmark for the fiscal year. A ₹25,000 cr order book, or nearly four times the revenue target, provides significant visibility and limits execution risk. The new L1 position adds to a pipeline management expects to swell by another ₹9,000-10,000 cr.
What we're watching
- Whether the ₹6,500 cr revenue target is met, given execution is the primary growth driver.
- Conversion rate of the ₹9,000-10,000 cr annual order inflow guidance.
- Progress on the GMLR tunnel and Coastal Road projects, which are key to future cash flows.
The full read
J Kumar Infraprojects exited FY26 with a record ₹25,000 cr order book and is now targeting 15% revenue growth for FY27, which would take its topline to about ₹6,500 cr. The backlog alone is nearly four times that annual target, giving the company rare visibility on revenue for the next few years. Management won ₹6,300 cr in the first quarter of the new year, including a ₹1,770 cr L1 bid, and expects to add another ₹9,000-10,000 cr in new orders by March 2027. On execution, TBM assembly for the GMLR tunnel is advanced and physical construction has started on the Versova-Dahisar Coastal Road. The growth story here is execution, not aspiration.
