Rohit Katyal, executive director commented, We are delighted to start the year on a high note with achieving a YoY 32% growth in revenue from operations as well as improvement in margins. This was achieved despite the labour migration during elections. The highest ever quarterly PAT is reflection of our careful project selection and our execution expertise. The higher execution has helped us in better absorption of fixed cost thereby leading to improved profitability.
Over the past few years, while our order book size has expanded significantly, our project under execution have reduced leading to higher revenue contribution per project, better management and improved margin profile.
Our efforts towards improving the net working capital cycle (excluding retention) has translated in reduction of 17 days to 114 days as at 30 June 2024 from 131 days as at 31 March 2024. We remain committed towards improving our working capital cycle and maintaining healthy profitability.
We have embarked on a high growth phase, backed by a diverse order book from distinguished clients in both public and private sector. With strong financial alongside our execution prowess we are confident of setting up new performance benchmarks in the years to come.
