    Q&A highlights

    8

    “No, we had a recovery from Neelkanth client, which was being shown in Q1 as receivable. Since then, it was realized in Q2 and therefore, that amount stands reduced by 8.69 crores. Such recoveries against those balance 55 crores will continue in the coming quarters as well. So, it was a slow-moving asset, which has now been recovered.”

    Clarified the reduction in outstanding receivables was due to actual recovery, not just write-offs, and provided specific figures for recovery and property sales.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Strong Q2 Performance and Execution Momentum

    Capacit'e Infraprojects reported its highest-ever Q2 results, with total income reaching 650 crores, a 24% increase year-on-year from 523 crores in Q2 FY25. This performance was driven by an unwavering focus on operational excellence and disciplined project management. The company is on track to achieve its full-year execution target of 2,810 crores, with Q3 targeting 725 crores and March targeting 850 crores, demonstrating strong momentum despite the monsoon season.

    02

    Robust Order Book and Strategic Inflows

    The company's standalone order book stood at 11,991 crores as of September 30, 2025, with a healthy mix of 60% public sector and 40% private sector projects. Year-to-date order bookings have already reached 3,464 crores, nearly achieving the initial full-year guidance of 3,500 crores. Management emphasized a strategic focus on clients with assured funding, such as MCGM, MHADA, and CIDCO in Maharashtra, and central government projects, ensuring project viability and timely payments.

    03

    Debt Reduction and Improved Working Capital

    Capacit'e Infraprojects continued its focus on strengthening its financial foundation, reducing gross debt to 405 crores as of September 30, 2025, down from 417 crores at March 31, 2025. This resulted in a gross debt-to-equity ratio of 0.22x and a net debt-to-equity of 0.11x. The company also made significant progress in reducing debtor levels by 21 days in H1 FY26 and aims for a further 20-25 days reduction in the remaining fiscal year, targeting pre-COVID levels by FY27-end.

    04

    MHADA and CIDCO Projects Driving Future Growth

    The MHADA project is accelerating, with 25 rehab towers already handed over and actual construction on the 320-meter tall residential buildings commencing in January/February. Management expects revenue from the MHADA SPV to nearly double in FY27, exceeding 1,000 crores. For CIDCO, the first six locations total 2,600 crores, with 300 crores expected to be built in H2 FY26 and 720 crores billed in FY27. The seventh CIDCO location, valued at 2,000 crores, is expected in Q4 FY26, further boosting the order book.

    05

    Sustainable Margins and Operational Excellence

    The company reported an EBITDA margin of 16.8% for Q2 FY26, which is well within its full-year guidance range of 16.5%-17.5% (excluding other income). Management attributed its healthy margins to its specialized expertise in super high-rise construction, which commands a premium, efficient asset utilization with an H1 FY26 net asset turnover of 5.4x, and a focused single-segment approach. The shift towards design-build (EPC) projects also offers opportunities for better engineering and higher profitability.

    06

    Addressing Labor Challenges and Strategic Outlook

    While acknowledging industry-wide labor availability challenges, Capacit'e Infraprojects is actively managing this through a dedicated Labor Resource Department and adopting new technologies to reduce reliance on manual labor. The company's strategic decision to avoid unfunded state government projects, coupled with its strong balance sheet and robust order book, provides confidence in its path of sustainable value creation and continued high growth phase.
