The full read
Likhitha Infrastructure ended FY26 on a weak note. Standalone profit before tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, plummeted to ₹7.3 crore from ₹23.9 crore in the same period last year. Revenue also retreated, falling 11% to ₹120.7 crore. The full-year picture is difficult, with profit before tax sliding 42% to ₹54.3 crore from ₹93.6 crore. For a ₹812 crore market-cap firm, these numbers signal pressure. Whether this stems from project execution hurdles or margin compression is the open question. The board also used the meeting to reappoint internal auditors and name a branch auditor for its Abu Dhabi business. These results were anticipated, which may mute the immediate market reaction, but the underlying trend is negative.
