The short read
Sanghvi Movers reported Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue of Rs. 380 crores, up 39% year-on-year, with EBITDA of Rs. 139 crores at a 35% margin, down from 40% in the prior quarter. Management attributed the sequential margin decline to higher expected credit loss provisions, a mark-to-market forex reinstatement, one-time employee incentives, and a shift in revenue mix toward ancillary equipment and cross rental rather than fresh capital expenditure. The company reiterated its FY27 guidance of Rs. 525-575 crores EBITDA and highlighted an order book of approximately Rs. 1,250 crores along with an inquiry pipeline of about Rs. 5,600 crores.
