    Q&A highlights

    6

    “Sir, actually, as far as this QIP is concerned, we just wanted to take a blanket approval for INR110 crores. It is not INR150 crores. So, we were planning to do a blanket approval, but we are not raising the funds altogether. I just want to clarify on that. And, sir, warrants, sir, has put in. ... we are going for around, I think, INR50 crores, INR60 crores we are just raising and raising because, sir, the company is growing. ... this is entirely going into the working capital.”

    Management clarified the actual QIP amount and its primary use for working capital, addressing investor concerns about dilution and capital strategy.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Strong H1 FY26 Financial Performance

    AVP Infracon delivered robust financial results in H1 FY26, with revenue growing 79% year-on-year to INR195.7 crores. This strong top-line growth translated into an 87% increase in EBITDA to INR44.7 crores, with margins expanding to 22.9%. Net profit also saw an impressive 82% rise, reaching INR23.2 crores, reflecting efficient execution and disciplined bidding.

    02

    Robust Order Inflow and Visibility

    The company secured new orders worth INR124 crores in H1 FY26, including significant contracts in performance-based maintenance, railway overbridges, and industrial infrastructure. Additionally, early H2 FY26 saw new wins totaling INR78.75 crores. As of September 30, 2025, the un-executed order book stood at INR475 crores, providing a strong revenue visibility for the next 18-24 months, supported by a bid pipeline of INR1,500-2,000 crores.

    03

    Strategic Diversification into New Verticals

    AVP Infracon is actively diversifying its business beyond its core road and bridge EPC segments, venturing into pre-engineered buildings (PEB) and solar EPC. While PEB is currently part of the main company, the solar EPC division, with a confirmed order for approximately 15 megawatts, is awaiting government approvals, with execution expected to commence in Q4 FY26 or Q1 FY27. This expansion aims to broaden the company's product portfolio and increase top-line contribution from new areas.

    04

    Working Capital Management and QIP Plans

    The company reported a positive operating cash flow for H1 FY26 (standalone INR10 crores, consolidated INR17 crores), despite an increase in trade receivables to INR85 crores, primarily attributed to high billing of INR70 crores in September with a typical 90-120 day collection cycle. To support its growth and working capital needs, AVP Infracon has received blanket approval for a QIP of INR110 crores, with plans to raise an initial tranche of INR50-60 crores entirely for working capital in H2 FY26, seeking long-term investors.

    05

    Outlook and Geographic Expansion

    Management expressed confidence in achieving the full-year standalone revenue target of INR500 crores for FY26, and a target of INR700-750 crores for FY27. A key strategic priority is to expand beyond Tamil Nadu, aiming for 25-30% of revenue from other states in the next financial year, while maintaining strong margins and disciplined working capital management. The company acknowledges potential slowdowns in new tender announcements during election periods but assures continued execution of existing projects.
