Cemindia Projects Limited (CEMPRO) is an EPC contractor executing large infrastructure projects across marine structures, metros, data centers, highways and specialist engineering, with a record order book of Rs. 31,307 Cr. This quarter's print will speak to whether the 25% FY27 revenue growth guidance stays intact after a monsoon-slow Q2, and whether EBITDA margins hold in the 10-10.5% band against rising steel, bitumen and crude costs.

The Board of Directors is scheduled to meet on November 05, 2026, to approve the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q2 and H1 FY27.
An analyst and institutional investor conference call is scheduled for November 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. IST to discuss the Q2/H1 FY27 results, organized by ICICI Securities. Representatives include MD Jayanta Basu, CFO Nitesh Sharma and IR Head Rahul Agarwal.
The key question for this quarter is whether Cemindia can hold its 25% FY27 revenue growth guidance after Q1 FY27 grew only 5.6% YoY, with management explicitly flagging a monsoon-slow Q2 — historically a 14-16% drag on Q2 revenue — before execution recovers in Q3 and Q4. Four large jobs (Munger, Pune Metro, Delhi Metro and Morsagar), together worth around Rs. 10,000-12,000 Cr, contributed no revenue last quarter, and management said it is confident of meeting the full-year revenue prediction as these restart post-monsoon alongside the Abu Dhabi job ramp.
Margin is the second test: Q1 FY27's 10.5% EBITDA margin sat at the bottom of the guided 10-10.5% band, while rebar prices recovered roughly Rs. 5,600-8,000/t from the June trough to Rs. 53,000-57,000/t by September and the Indian crude basket climbed from $82 (Jul) to $102+ (Sep) — against only about 30% of projects holding price-compensation clauses.
On the demand side, the order book stands at a record Rs. 31,307 Cr (3.11x FY26 revenue), with roughly Rs. 10,756 Cr of Q1 FY27 inflows plus July/L1 awards against the ~Rs. 25,000 Cr FY27 inflow target, supported by sustained Adani group awarding. The Vadhvan Port order of Rs. 1,600 Cr remained un-commenced through the quarter — a delay that has cost an estimated Rs. 200-300 Cr of quarterly revenue in the past and is outside management's control.
The upcoming call is expected to cover the pacing of the growth guidance, the margin bridge, the Q2 order inflow print, and deployment of the Rs. 1,400 Cr QIP proceeds received on October 19, 2026.
Guidance scorecard: Tracking management's stated targets against delivery:
Margin normalization and claim releases
Working capital and QIP deployment
Vadhvan Port commencement
Legal pipeline and Bangladesh completion
Management said four large jobs — Munger, Pune Metro, Delhi Metro and Morsagar, combined worth around Rs. 10,000-12,000 Cr — contributed no revenue last quarter, with the Abu Dhabi job at half the required progress. All four-five jobs are expected to pick up after the monsoon.
Management guided to 25% revenue growth for FY27 and endorsed 20-25% growth for the next couple of years. The guidance is contingent on the timing of order conversions, with a monsoon-slow Q2 flagged and execution expected to improve in Q3 and Q4.
Management has guided to a sustainable EBITDA margin of 10-10.5% (also framed as 10.5-11%), saying Q4 FY26's 15.1% was flattered by Rs. 100 Cr of claims and provision releases and 'will not be a regular phenomenon'. Q1 FY27's margin came in at 10.5%.
The Adani group accounts for about 53% of the Rs. 31,000 Cr order book, including roughly Rs. 6,000 Cr of Q1 FY27's ~Rs. 8,000 Cr inflow. The company presents its 63% private / 27% PSU / 10% government client mix as mitigating client-concentration risk.
Net debt stood at Rs. 700 Cr with net debt-to-equity of 0.28x at June 30, 2026, and the company raised Rs. 1,400 Cr via a QIP that closed October 19, 2026 at Rs. 1,108/share. Credit ratings were upgraded during the quarter, with ICRA moving to AA (Stable) and CARE to AA- (Stable) on September 3, 2026.
