A particularly noteworthy milestone this quarter was successful completion of the new Command and Control center for the Pune Smart City project in August 2025.

In August 2025, we proudly handed over the cutting-edge Command and Control center named Drishti, developed by us as a part of the Pune City Surveillance project.

We believe this project sets a benchmark for urban surveillance and public safety.

This also marks the highest ever quarterly revenue in our history, putting us firmly on track to surpass our stated target of Rs.

We do expect margin pressure to continue over the next 3 to 4 quarters, but our focus remains on maximizing operating leverage as top line growth continues.

So, from Q4, we expect some revenue coming forward?

Q1 of next year should be having the full revenue because until the February of next year, we would be still doing the go-live for different countries.

So, the full revenue for the whole quarter will be coming in from the first quarter of next year.

There is a project in the Pune city itself where there is some additional revenue expected.

Apart from that, there is a large project which is due for renewal in Mumbai.
Risks & concerns — 7 flagged
However, the environment remains challenging with persistent customer pricing pressure.
Gopal Tiwari
We do expect margin pressure to continue over the next 3 to 4 quarters, but our focus remains on maximizing operating leverage as top line growth continues.
Gopal Tiwari
And from a pricing pressure perspective, yes, we have started getting some good deals in the U.S., which we have announced also, and there are good deals in the pipeline as well.
Nehal Shah
But apart from that, if something is budgeted for, we do not see a challenge of them not giving out the money on-time, whether it is any state government or any central government or any other projects that we are doing.
Nehal Shah
So, I just wanted to understand, you mentioned that in the smart city, the initial phase of the implementation phase where there is margin pressure, like all the orders are 3 to 5 years.
Paresh Shah
So is this cyclical like any order that you get so the margin pressure will be there initially and then the margins will improve.
Paresh Shah
The hardware part, the margins are under pressure because the hardware is a commodity item, but which is necessary for a large-scale system integration or a smart city project.

Q2 & H1 FY2026 Earnings Call Transcript the pricing pressure there in terms of deal negotiations with them? These are broad 3 questions.
Nehal Shah
Thank you, Kunal, for your questions. I would want you to repeat the first question, but before that, I will give you the answer for the next 2 ones. So, for the direct sales update, let me tell you that we have hired a Chief Revenue Officer for our U.S. subsidiary, who is going to be working directly for acquiring large direct clients. Typically, from a strategy perspective, we have done straight that we are going to be targeting small and medium enterprises in the U.S., which sit in the periphery, which will help us in starting with a good revenue from a direct source. So probably in the coming quarters, we will have more updates. Maybe the order size could be smaller, but we will start getting some direct customers coming up. And from a pricing pressure perspective, yes, we have started getting some good deals in the U.S., which we have announced also, and there are good deals in the pipeline as well. But you rightly mentioned that there is still some pricing pressures due to the en
