Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
SPML Infra Limited posted robust financial and operational performance during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, driven by accelerated execution across its expanding order book under the SPML 2.0 initiative.
Consolidated revenue from operations for Q1 FY27 reached Rs. 284.28 crore, reflecting a strong year-on-year expansion compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, supported by active project sites and new order conversions.
Profitability witnessed substantial gains, with profit after tax (PAT) climbing to Rs. 22.68 crore, underpinned by higher revenue realization, improved project margins, and a disciplined approach to bidding and execution.
EBITDA for the quarter was reported at Rs. 28.27 crore with an improved EBITDA margin of 9.90 percent compared to 9.49 percent in Q1 FY26, highlighting better cost absorption and an increasingly favorable project mix.
The company secured Rs. 1,293 crore of fresh order inflows during the quarter, lifting its total outstanding order book to approximately Rs. 5,094 crore and providing strong medium-term revenue visibility.
Management noted a significant qualitative improvement in the order book, with only about Rs. 1,251 crore attributed to legacy low-margin projects while the remainder comprises newer mandates carrying expected operating margins of 10 percent or higher.
The balance sheet continued to strengthen following debt resolution milestones with NARCL and equity capital raises, reflected in recent credit rating upgrades to BBB (Stable) by both CRISIL and ICRA.

04 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Revenue growth was primarily driven by the active translation of recently secured orders under SPML 2.0 into physical execution across water and power segments.

What drove margins
EBITDA margins improved to 9.90 percent in Q1 FY27 from 9.49 percent in Q1 FY26, aided by a higher proportion of new projects with targeted margins of 10-12 percent.
Low-margin legacy projects now account for only about Rs. 1,251 crore of the total order book, allowing higher-margin mandates to lift blended profitability.
