The short read
GPT Infraprojects reported Q1 FY27 standalone revenue of Rs 282 crore, down 9% year-on-year, which management attributed to labor disruptions in West Bengal during the state elections in April and May. Consolidated EBITDA rose 28.4% to Rs 47.5 crore with margin at 15.7%, aided by the signalling business acquired via Alcon and stronger African operations. Management reiterated its full-year targets of approximately 30% revenue growth and Rs 3,000 crore of new order inflow, while noting a new Rs 72 crore order from Eastern Railway and a Rs 53 crore Power EPC contract linked to Power Grid Corporation of India.
