The full read
Schneider Electric Infrastructure finished the fiscal year with ₹2,890.6 crore in revenue, a 9.6% increase over the previous year. Net profit slipped 20% to ₹212.5 crore, pointing to cost pressures that the company has yet to offset.
Project execution is volatile. Revenue plummeted to ₹586.8 crore in the final quarter, down from ₹1,020.1 crore in the third quarter. This 40%-plus sequential drop reveals that project cyclicality is a major headwind for the firm. The board extended Udai Singh’s term as CEO for three years, but the focus now shifts to the upcoming AGM where shareholders must vote on material related-party transactions with Schneider Electric IT Business India. That vote is the next test of governance for the company.
