Key numbers snapshot

What the results mean for investors

The FY25 numbers show a combination of revenue growth, margin expansion, and sharply higher profit, with EBITDA margin improving to 10.9% for both Q4 and the full year. The company’s disclosure of an ₹893 crore order book and ₹1,014 crore of orders secured during the year adds visibility to near-term demand, particularly in railway-linked segments. At the same time, quarterly datapoints show that profitability and operating metrics can shift from quarter to quarter, such as the June 2025 quarter operating profit decline despite higher sales. Investors tracking the counter will likely focus on whether margins stay near FY25 levels as execution ramps up against the order book.
