The short read
Welspun Enterprises reported Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue of Rs 774 crore with EBITDA margin of 22.9%, which management attributed to a softer quarter due to supply chain disruptions, a Mumbai construction stoppage, and election-related labor migration. The company signed an agreement to divest its stake in the Aunta-Simaria HAM project at an enterprise value of approximately Rs 1,000 crore, expected to close in Q2 FY27. Management also reported that the Dharavi-Ghatkopar Tunnel project received all requisite approvals and the Pune-Shirur sub-concession agreement was executed during the quarter.
