Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Limited is an integrated maritime infrastructure platform operating across dredging, charter and hire of marine crafts, commercial shipbuilding and ancillary port services with a diversified fleet exceeding 50 vessels and a workforce of roughly 550 employees focused on government and institutional maritime projects. Q1 FY27 delivered a sharp operating outperformance: revenue from operations of INR115.41 crores (up 138% YoY), EBITDA of INR73.41 crores (approx. 64% margin) and PAT of INR62.75 crores (approx. 54% margin), driven primarily by execution of complex capital dredging at JNPA and maintenance dredging at Pondicherry port. The company reports a firm, diversified order book of over INR1,300 crores split across eight dredging contracts, fifteen charter contracts and four shipbuilding contracts, plus INR200 crores intercompany orders, and discloses an active bid pipeline of INR3,500+ crores across dredging, charter and shipbuilding verticals, supporting medium‑term revenue visibility. Management is executing a material capacity expansion with approximately INR1,000 crores planned capex over the next 12–18 months including larger trailing suction and cutter suction dredgers, green tugs and a new Saphale shipyard whose Phase I targets delivery capacity of 14 vessels per annum and commercial scale-up by FY28–FY29. Strategic funding actions include a INR150 crores preferential allotment to institutional investors and a INR100 crores secondary block trade, which together with healthy operating cash flows management says will fund the near-term capex and fleet additions while aiming to reach INR1,000 crores revenue by FY29.
