Summary of Patel Engineering's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Last updated: May 25
In the Q4 FY'25 earnings conference call, management provided a comprehensive outlook for Patel Engineering Limited. For FY'25, the company achieved record revenues exceeding Rs. 5,000 crore, totaling Rs. 5,093 crore, a 12% increase from Rs. 4,544 crore in FY'24. The profit before tax rose to Rs. 477 crore from Rs. 319 crore the previous year, although net profit declined to Rs. 242 crore from Rs. 264 crore due to a one-time exceptional loss of around Rs. 150 crore related to the 'Vivad Se Vishwas' scheme.
Key forward-looking points included:
Order Book: As of March 31, 2025, the order book stood at Rs. 15,217 crore, with significant contributions from hydropower projects (66%), irrigation (23%), and tunneling (8%). New orders valued at approximately Rs. 2,500 crore are expected to increase this figure, with a cautious expectation of stable revenues in FY'26.
Market Opportunities: The company is optimistic about upcoming tenders following the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, which may expedite the approval of large hydropower projects. The management anticipates a pipeline exceeding Rs. 1 lakh crore in expected tenders over the coming periods, and plans to bid around Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 50,000 crore worth of projects, aiming for a 15-20% win rate translating into potential orders worth Rs. 10,000 crore.
Future Growth: While FY'26 is expected to show flat revenue growth due to subdued order inflows in FY'25, management projects around 10-15% growth for FY'27 onwards, contingent on geopolitical factors and execution capacity.
The management emphasized a commitment to sustainable growth and enhancing stakeholder value while preparing for upcoming potential project opportunities in the hydropower sector.

Question 1: Dhananjay Mishra: What is the actual amount we would have received from the "˜Vivad Se Vishwas' Scheme this Financial Year?
Rahul Agarwal: We received around Rs. 350 crores from the "˜Vivad Se Vishwas' Scheme this financial year. No further provisions are expected for FY'26 as the scheme has ended, and we won't see any accounting treatment from it in our FY'26 P&L.
Question 2: Jainam Jain: How many tenders in the hydro segment are we looking to add this year?
Rahul Agarwal: We aim to bid for around Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 50,000 crores worth of projects this year, with a success rate of about 15%-20%.
Question 3: Pritesh Chheda: Are we expecting flat revenues in FY'26?
Kavita Shirvaikar: Yes, due to subdued order inflow last year, we anticipate stable growth in FY'26. However, expectations for growth starting FY'27 are around 10% to 15% as project execution picks up.
Question 4: Rahil S.: Will exceptional losses continue in FY'26?
Rahul Agarwal: No, the "˜Vivad Se Vishwas' scheme is over, so we do not expect to incur further exceptional losses related to that scheme.
Question 5: Viraj: There has been an escalation in material costs. How has it affected margins?
Rahul Agarwal: Overall EBITDA margins remain stable between 13% to 14%. Variations depend on the specific mix of work executed during the quarter, rather than a substantial rise in costs.
Question 6: Rajiv Rupani: What is the timeline to monetize the land bank?
Rahul Agarwal: We are targeting to sell a few key land parcels in the next 2-3 years, while some others will take longer due to anticipated increased value through regional development.
Question 7: Sonali Jain: Will we benefit from hydro projects following the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty?
Rahul Agarwal: Yes, the suspension is expected to expedite project approvals in the region, allowing us to capitalize on upcoming opportunities.
Question 8: P. Jha: What is the expected capacity for future project execution?
Rahul Agarwal: Our employee base has grown to 4,500, and we can scale capacity based on project requirements. We have the capability to take on considerable additional work as new projects are awarded.
Question 9: Rajiv Rupani: Why have we not secured major tunneling orders recently?
Rahul Agarwal: We expect many projects to come up soon, and we will evaluate each project for its viability and required margins before bidding.
Question 10: Priti Agarwal: What caused the decline in margins for Q4 FY'25?
Rahul Agarwal: The variation is due to the specific mix of work executed this quarter, but we maintain a general EBITDA margin range of 13% to 14%.
