Execution is working.
The company’s order book, including L1, now sits at ₹16,361 crore, providing a 12% cushion over last year’s levels. Perhaps more important than the top-line growth is the cash conversion, as operating cash flows nearly doubled to ₹817 crore, a clear sign that the company is successfully tightening its working capital cycle while simultaneously committing ₹203 crore in new capex to expand its power transmission and distribution capacity. For a mid-cap EPC player, this is a clean beat that validates the growth narrative.
