Operating efficiency is supported by backward integration. Fixed asset turnover ratio was 5.51 in FY25, slightly down from 5.74 in FY24.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
15%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved through the execution of large orders awarded in H2 FY25 and diversification into higher-margin segments like T&D, tunnels, and ropeways. The company is targeting 15% growth in FY27 based on current order bidding momentum.
Products & Services
Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) road projects, EPC services for highways, Transmission & Distribution (T&D) lines, tunnels, ropeways, and Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLP).
Brand Portfolio
G R Infraprojects Limited (GRIL).
New Products/Services
Entry into Transmission & Distribution (T&D), tunnels, ropeways, and MMLP segments, which are expected to provide marginally higher margins (targeting 15%) compared to standard road projects.
Market Expansion
Expansion into 17 states and diversification into non-road infrastructure sectors to reduce sector-specific concentration.
Strategic Alliances
Transfer of operational HAM projects to Indus Infra Trust (InvIT) to recycle capital. Profit of INR 62.54 Cr was earned on the transfer of two subsidiary companies in FY25.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is seeing increased competition from smaller players. GRIL is positioning itself for the future by diversifying into T&D and Ropeways to maintain margins above 13%.
Competitive Landscape
Key competitors include smaller players entering the road sector due to relaxed bidding norms, leading to margin compression.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on backward integration and a large owned equipment fleet, which provides cost leadership. This is sustainable but being tested by aggressive bidding from new entrants.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to Government of India infrastructure spending and NHAI awarding momentum.
Consumer Behavior
N/A as the primary clients are government agencies.
Geopolitical Risks
Primarily domestic operations; risks are limited to changes in Indian government regulations and tax laws.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by NHAI bidding guidelines and Ministry of Road Transport regulations. Changes in government regulations or tax laws are cited as key risk factors.
Environmental Compliance
CSR expense for FY25 was INR 1.93 Cr.
Taxation Policy Impact
Standalone tax expense was INR 291.32 Cr in FY25, representing an effective tax rate of approximately 26.5% on PBT.
Legal Contingencies
Three employees were arrested in June 2022 on charges of bribery involving INR 4 lakh by the CBI. Raids were conducted at the promoter's residence, but no top management or family members were implicated.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Execution risk of large projects could impact revenue by 5-10%. Competitive intensity in the road sector remains a primary uncertainty for margin sustainability.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Diversified across 17 states, reducing regional risk.
Third Party Dependencies
Low dependency on third-party suppliers due to high levels of backward integration in input manufacturing.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Low risk given the nature of civil construction, but the company is adopting new technologies in T&D and tunnel segments.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Low counterparty risk as 75% of the order book is from Central Government agencies/PSUs.
