NBCC (India) Ltd (NBCC) Q2 Results FY27 Preview: Date, Time, Expectations & Key Things To Watch

Cofacto Research Published November 03, 2026 6 min read

NBCC (India) Ltd is a Navratna CPSE under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs that executes government project management consultancy, EPC and redevelopment work, carrying a consolidated order book of Rs. 1,26,964 Cr as of June 30, 2026. This quarter's print will speak to whether execution picks up seasonally from a soft Q1 and how the back-loaded FY27 guidance — including the pending Rs. 30,000 Cr 5 GPRA Cabinet approval — holds up against GRAP construction restrictions now in force in Delhi.

NBCC (India) Ltd Q2 Results Date and Time

NBCC (India) Ltd is scheduled to report its Q2 FY 2026-2027 results on November 05, 2026.

What to expect from NBCC (India) Ltd's Q2 FY27 results

The key question for this quarter is whether execution picks up from Q1's consolidated revenue of Rs. 2,259.53 Cr, with management having said on the Q1 call that "second quarter onwards, it will pick up" — though that base sits well below the Rs. 2,910.20 Cr consolidated revenue of Q2 FY26, so a YoY decline is the live risk.

Q2 execution was clean on the pollution front, as no GRAP construction ban was in force during July-September; the restrictions — GRAP Stage II from November 5 with a complete NCR suspension of construction and demolition activity, and a complete Delhi ban December 10 to January 20 — land in Q3, the quarter management needs for its H2 ramp.

Order formation stayed small-ticket through the quarter, with traced awards of Rs. 29-501 Cr and no mega-award, leaving the FY27 inflow target of Rs. 50,000-60,000 Cr dependent on the still-pending 5 GPRA (~Rs. 30,000 Cr) Cabinet approval, the Supertech award (~Rs. 10,000 Cr, with tenders floated October 1-15, 2026 and construction resuming January 16, 2027) and MAHAPREIT finalization guided for Q2-Q3 FY27.

On margins, Q1 standalone EBITDA margin of 8.77% (+281 bps YoY) and consolidated 6.86% sat within the guided bands, with the low-margin Maharashtra health contract now foreclosed and ECL write-offs (Rs. 5 Cr in H1 FY26 vs Rs. 102 Cr in H1 FY25) the swing line through PBT. Management has reiterated the FY27 stack — consolidated revenue Rs. 15,000-17,000 Cr, PAT Rs. 1,100-1,200 Cr, EBITDA margin 6.5-7% and a Rs. 2 lakh crore-plus order book by year-end — with the CMD stating, "INR 15,000 to 17,000, I already committed. Same thing still we are adhering."

Key Things To Watch

FY27 guidance scorecard and implied H2 ramp: The FY27 guidance stack holds arithmetically but is heavily back-loaded.

  • Consolidated revenue Rs. 15,000-17,000 Cr by FY27 — reaching even the Rs. 15,000 Cr lower bound implies ~Rs. 12,740 Cr over the remaining three quarters (~Rs. 4,247 Cr/quarter) vs Rs. 2,259.53 Cr in Q1 FY27
  • Consolidated PAT Rs. 1,100-1,200 Cr and EBITDA margin 6.5-7% by FY27 (Q1 FY27 consolidated margin was 6.86%)
  • Order inflows Rs. 50,000-60,000 Cr and a Rs. 2 lakh crore-plus order book by FY27 year-end — the 5 GPRA (~Rs. 30,000 Cr) Cabinet approval is the swing factor and was not cleared as of the latest retrieved coverage

GRAP impact on Q3 execution and target reaffirmation: Q2 was executed without construction bans; the restrictions begin after quarter-close.

  • GRAP Stage II in force as of November 2, 2026 (AQI 325) with complete suspension of construction and demolition activity across NCR announced from November 5
  • Delhi's Winter Action Plan bars dust-generating construction from November 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027, with a complete ban December 10 to January 20
  • Whether management reaffirms the FY27 revenue target net of GRAP, which previously hit 7 GPRA, Amrapali, Delhi University, IIT and AIIMS projects in Q3 FY26

Large-project conversion: Supertech, J&K and MAHAPREIT: Combined work orders of ~Rs. 50,000 Cr across these three have taken time to convert into executable orders.

  • Supertech award progress — tenders floated in phases October 1-15, 2026, with construction resuming January 16, 2027; mandate covers ~50,000 stalled units across 16 projects with estimated top line Rs. 10,000 Cr at an 8% PMC fee
  • J&K Satellite City — Rs. 3,500-4,000 Cr tender package ready; one tender already called with technical evaluation underway (15 parties participated) and five more tenders valuing Rs. 3,500 Cr to be published
  • MAHAPREIT (Rs. 25,000 Cr) finalization guided for Q2-Q3 FY27, delayed by approvals and seed money requirements; current projections exclude it

HSCC merger progress: The merger is in process, not yet effective.

  • MCA first-motion order issued October 9, 2026 — shareholder/secured creditor meetings dispensed with; notices to unsecured creditors above Rs. 1,00,00,000 with a 30-day objection window
  • Confirmation petition follows compliance; appointed date of the scheme is April 1, 2026 — probe how merger accounting will reshape consolidated reporting

Real estate catalysts and cash trajectory: Several monetization and sales milestones sit just inside or after the quarter.

  • Recognition of the ~Rs. 51.91 Cr Sarojini Nagar marketing fee from the October 29, 2026 e-auction (~8.80 lakh sq. ft. sold for ~Rs. 5,191 Cr); Africa Avenue auction (262 units) with Rs. 5,000-6,000 Cr sales expectation
  • Amrapali Phase 2 revenue contribution and the two unsold FAR projects; 37-D RERA registration and launch in Q2/Q3; Ghitorni lease/consultant finalization
  • Cash trajectory from the stated Rs. 666 Cr (June 30, 2026) vs ~Rs. 939 Cr (December 31, 2025), plus the construction-linked Business Park tower outflow over two years

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does NBCC's FY28 profit guidance look conservative versus its redevelopment projects?

An analyst noted expectations of Rs. 4,000-5,000 Cr FY28 bottom line from Ghitorni/37D versus the CMD's Rs. 2,000 Cr figure. The CMD called Rs. 2,000 Cr conservative, explaining that possession-based booking applies, and said the figure "could potentially double once Ghitorni and 37D possession is completed," with FY29 almost double FY28.

How can NBCC reach a Rs. 2 lakh crore order book from the current Rs. 1.27 lakh crore?

Management clarified that its projections exclude MAHAPREIT, whose finalization will significantly boost the order book and revenue pipeline. MAHAPREIT (Rs. 25,000 Cr) has been delayed by approvals and seed money requirements and is guided for finalization in Q2-Q3 FY27.

Why did NBCC cut its real estate revenue guidance from Rs. 250 Cr-plus to Rs. 65-67 Cr?

Management explained the cut reflects a strategic shift to leasing at Bhubaneswar Imperia, with ~Rs. 200 Cr lease revenue potential and Rs. 27 Cr bottom line on the revised topline. The Bhubaneswar (Imperia) project moved from outright sale to leasing for recurring rental income.

What is NBCC's cash balance and why is there confusion around it?

The Director (Finance) stated cash on books of Rs. 666 Cr as of June 30, 2026, while management's own December-end consolidated figure was ~Rs. 939 Cr. An analyst's prior-quarter comparison of "Rs. 6,500 crores" is inconsistent with these figures — worth clarifying on the call.
