The single financial pane of truth — P&L, the profit bridge, profitability, FP&A and capability economics.
Margin is expanding, but ≈ ₹45 Cr of EBITDA still sits between today's thin 4.4% margin and the 6% target — held in still-scaling capabilities, commodity (steel / zinc) cost and overheads. Convert higher-value 765 kV / substation mix and operating leverage into EBITDA to justify the rich (~66×) multiple.
7 of 8 headline metrics improving vs prior · still off target: Revenue (FY26) ₹2,792 Cr vs ₹3,200 Cr, Revenue Growth (YoY) 7.4% vs 12.0%, Contribution Margin 11.0% vs 13.0%
Tighten milestone billing & collections; target debtor days 214→170 to turn FCF positive.
Receivables ~₹1,636 Cr tie up 214 days; borrowings jumped ₹15→₹367 Cr to fund working capital.
Each day of DSO ties up working capital that could fund capex & deleveraging.
≈ ₹45 Cr of EBITDA stands between the thin 4.4% margin and the 6% target — the swing that justifies the listed equity's re-rating.
Margin-improvement program + steel/zinc hedging + higher-value 765 kV AIS/GIS mix.
EBITDA margin 2.99%→3.43%→4.4% (FY24-26); PAT only ₹27 Cr; management flagged FY27 commodity-cost pressure.
