The full read
Likhitha Infrastructure ended the year with a sharp contraction in earnings. Annual consolidated net profit fell 44% to ₹38.55 crore, while revenue slipped 12% to ₹456.73 crore.
Margins collapsed.
The fourth quarter was particularly difficult, with profit after tax plunging 77% to ₹4.09 crore against ₹17.56 crore in the same period last year. The disparity between the revenue decline and the profit collapse indicates heavy margin compression that suggests the company is facing persistent operational headwinds. Beyond the financials, the board re-appointed its internal auditors and brought in HLB HAMT Management Consultancy to audit its Abu Dhabi branch. The results leave little room for optimism regarding near-term execution efficiency, as the firm struggles to maintain profitability in a challenging environment.
