Opening remarks
Rahul Kundnani
Thank you, Iqra. Good morning. On behalf of Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities, I welcome you all to the 3Q FY '26 Earnings Call of Power Mech. The management is represented by Mr. S. Kodandaramaiah – Director, Non-Board and Mr. N. Nani Arvind – CFO. Now, I will hand over to the management for their opening remarks, which will be followed by the Q&A.
N. Nani Aravind
Good morning, everyone. I am Aravind, CFO of the company. I have with me Mr. S. K. Ramaiah – Director of Business Development. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you joining us the Quarter 3 and 9 months Financial Year '26 Earnings Call today. I take this opportunity to welcome you all to our Q3 FY '26 Earnings Call. As we reflect on our performance during the 3rd Quarter of FY '26, I am pleased to report that the company has continued to execute on its growth plans with strong results across all key segments. This quarter has demonstrated the consistency and scalability of our business model, with our core segments contributing to the positive momentum. For Quarter 3 Financial Year '26, the Company recorded total revenue of INR 1,433 crore, reflecting 6% growth compared to the INR 1,347 crore in Q3 FY '25. This increase was driven by sustained execution across power, O&M, and emerging segments such as mining and civil works. The O&M business, in particular, performed well

Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question is from the line of Pritesh from Lucky Investments. Please go ahead. Pritesh, you can go ahead. Sir, just a couple of questions. One, on this INR 17,000 crore of backlog, you always have a fairly strong backlog and additional orders. How much of this INR 17,000 crore is where the execution is slow? And what are the challenges there? And if you look at your execution for the first 9 months vis-à-vis the accretion in backlog, the execution is slightly weaker. So, maybe you want to call out some comments on these two areas, please. Yes, out of the INR 17,000 crore of order, we are not facing execution challenges. However, some of the new orders we received during the last year, experienced delays in commencement of the project because of the extended monsoons during Q2 and Q3. And some of the projects like Kaiga and Yadadri, where extended monsoons, and Mirzapur is one project where environmental clearance is
N. Nani Aravind
Sir, we have removed nonmoving FGD order during last financial year itself for INR 4,260 crore. INR 17,000 order backlog is without FGD order. Only INR 936 crore of Udupi project only running in the FGD.
Pritesh
And on the new areas that you have taken, that is Balance of Plant order or a BESS order, or all the new areas now, here, what is the margin profile? And have you compromised any margins?
N. Nani Aravind
Sir, the BOP EPC is new line where we were planning to enter into to scale up our operations to expand our scope of execution from under construction activity to the EPC delivery in BOP system. In BESS, actually, we, Power Mech has been in the forefront for India's energy growth story, and we do not want to miss the energy transition phase as well. So, we have incorporated a 100% subsidiary as a PM Green for this, and this is a small attempt we to see where the renewable segment fits into the Power Mech's vision of sustained growth and margins. We are cautiously optimistic about this segment. So, investment of around 16% to 18% IRR we are anticipating on these projects on equity investments. S. Kodandaramaiah: Ramaiah here. Regarding Singareni, I think what we have to also look into is the synergy the company brings about in the execution on a backward integration basis. As I said, we have strengthened with a very strong engineering team, and project management team with focused supply
