πŸ’° Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Operating income grew 39.9% YoY to INR 161.28 Cr in FY24 from INR 115.28 Cr in FY23. For H1 FY26, the company reported doubling its revenue compared to H1 FY25, indicating 100% growth for that period.

Geographic Revenue Split

100% of revenue is derived from Tamil Nadu, as operations are currently restricted to this state for civil construction projects.

Profitability Margins

Operating margins improved from 19.92% in FY23 to 22.04% in FY24. PAT margins improved from 10.02% in FY23 to 11.59% in FY24, driven by the execution of higher-margin projects.

EBITDA Margin

Operating margin stood at 22.04% in FY24, representing a significant absolute growth of ~55% in operating performance compared to the previous fiscal year.

Capital Expenditure

Depreciation for FY25 was INR 3.75 Cr compared to INR 2.80 Cr in FY24, reflecting ongoing asset utilization. The company is planning a QIP to fund working capital needs rather than specific large-scale debt-funded CAPEX.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

The company maintains a 'Stable' outlook from CRISIL and AcuitΓ©. Interest coverage was comfortable at 5.04 times in FY24, with a healthy gearing ratio of 0.53 times as of March 31, 2024.

βš™οΈ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Key raw materials include cement, steel, bitumen, and Readymade Concrete (RMC). RMC is a critical input for road and bridge construction.

Import Sources

Raw materials are primarily sourced locally within Tamil Nadu to support operations in the state.

Key Suppliers

AVP RMC, an associate partnership firm, is a key supplier of readymade concrete to the company.

Capacity Expansion

Not disclosed in specific units; however, the company operates in civil construction and RMC manufacturing, with plans to expand into the Solar EPC segment.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs are managed through long-term relationships with suppliers, enabling the company to maintain a PAT margin of 11.59% despite intense industry competition.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Operating efficiency is critical to maintaining margins above 20% in the competitive tender-based construction segment.

πŸ“ˆ Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

100%

Growth Strategy

The company is diversifying into the Solar EPC segment to increase top-line revenue, even at the cost of a 1-2% lower bottom-line margin. It is also aggressively bidding for higher-margin road and bridge projects and utilizing QIP proceeds to manage the working capital requirements of a larger order book.

Products & Services

Civil construction services (roads and bridges), Readymade Concrete (RMC), and Solar EPC services.

Brand Portfolio

AVP Infracon, AVP RMC.

New Products/Services

Solar EPC services are the primary new offering, intended to diversify the revenue mix and drive top-line growth.

Market Expansion

Expansion is focused on diversifying the project portfolio within the infrastructure sector and entering the renewable energy space via Solar EPC.

Strategic Alliances

The company maintains a strategic relationship with associate entity AVP RMC for concrete supply.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is characterized by intense competition and a shift toward diversification into green energy (Solar EPC). The company is positioning itself to capture this shift to maintain growth momentum.

Competitive Landscape

Intense competition from several regional and national players in the civil construction and RMC segments.

Competitive Moat

The moat is built on the promoters' 20+ years of experience and established relationships with public entities, which provides a competitive edge in technical bidding and project execution.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to government infrastructure spending and budgetary allocations for roads and bridges in Tamil Nadu.

Consumer Behavior

Not applicable as the business is primarily B2G (Business to Government).

Geopolitical Risks

Low geopolitical risk due to localized operations in India, specifically Tamil Nadu.

βš–οΈ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Operations are governed by government tender regulations, construction safety standards, and state-level infrastructure policies.

Taxation Policy Impact

The effective tax rate for FY25 was approximately 24.1%, with a total tax expense of INR 10.54 Cr on a PBT of INR 43.64 Cr.

Legal Contingencies

The company reported having no pending litigations that would materially impact its financial position as of March 31, 2025.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

The primary uncertainty is the success rate in winning future tenders, which could impact revenue by 100% if the order book is not replenished. Working capital management of unbilled revenue (INR 65-70 Cr) is also a key monitorable.

Geographic Concentration Risk

100% of operations and revenue are concentrated in Tamil Nadu.

Third Party Dependencies

High dependency on government departments for contract awards and AVP RMC for critical raw material supply.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

Low risk in traditional civil construction, but relevant for the new Solar EPC division where technology shifts occur more rapidly.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Credit risk is mitigated by dealing with public entities, though these often involve longer payment cycles leading to high unbilled revenue.
