Geospatial and Engineering Services Drive Growth

Over the nine months, this segment grew 77% YoY to INR 257 crores. In contrast, the Technology Solutions segment experienced a moderate 3% decline in Q3 to INR 61 crores, though it still posted a 79% YoY growth for the nine-month period to INR 233 crores.
Order Book and Pipeline Health
The company booked new orders totaling INR 170 crores in Q3 FY26, bringing the closing order book to INR 999 crores as of December 31, 2025. Management indicated a robust pipeline, with expectations to close INR 600-700 crores worth of orders in Q4 FY26 or Q1 FY27. The order book composition is split between approximately INR 460 crores in Technology Absorption and INR 520-530 crores in Geospatial projects.
Strategic Investments and Inorganic Growth Pursuit
Ceinsys Tech invested INR 24 crores in technology innovations and business development, primarily aimed at expanding its presence in the U.S. and other territories, with INR 16 crores of this charged to the P&L. The company is actively pursuing inorganic acquisition opportunities, with due diligence nearing completion and a conclusion expected within the next 2-3 months, despite some compliance-related delays.
Working Capital Management and Receivables
The net working capital cycle remained stable at 160-162 days, with Q3 collections matching operational revenue at INR 170 crores. Total debtors as of December 31, 2025, stood at INR 150 crores, with approximately INR 25-27 crores being over 365 days. Unbilled revenue was approximately INR 250 crores. Management aims to reduce the working capital cycle to around 125 days by year-end, leveraging higher Q4 government disbursements.
Impact of Government Code of Conduct and Project Delays
Order closures were significantly impacted by two periods of government code of conduct, which stalled tender processes and decision-making for about four months. This led to lower-than-expected order inflows in Q3. Additionally, some large projects, such as river linking, have experienced delays due to government processes, affecting revenue recognition in specific quarters.
US Subsidiary Performance and Strategic Alliances
The U.S. subsidiary is expected to contribute INR 23-25 crores in revenue for FY26, representing less than 4-5% of total revenue, with a projected EBITDA margin of around 20%. For the first nine months, the U.S. operations generated INR 21 crores in total top line. The company has also formed strategic MOUs with Tech Mahindra and Aetosky to enhance global business development, execution, and leverage niche AI technology and market presence.
