The full read
Vikran Engineering is betting on a solar-led expansion. The company’s order book has doubled to ₹5,700 crore, fueled by large EPC contracts and the acquisition of a 969 MW solar project under the PM-Kusum scheme. This momentum produced a 48% rise in March quarter net profit to ₹56 crore, with revenue climbing 82% to ₹647 crore. Management is now targeting FY27 revenue of ₹2,200-2,500 crore while holding EBITDA margins at 14-15%. The outlook is not entirely clear. During the May 26th conference call, management provided conflicting details regarding their water segment strategy and how they plan to handle receivable provisions. For a company aiming to more than double its annual revenue in two years, these internal inconsistencies are a red flag. The growth is visible, but the operational narrative remains fragmented.
