According to The Financial Express, consultancy accounted for 62% of turnover in Q1 FY27, up from 48% in FY26, with management expecting consultancy to contribute more than 50% of FY27 turnover and a minimum of 55%. The company's first quarter FY27 results demonstrate this shift's impact - consolidated revenue was ₹820 crore, down 6% year-on-year, yet consolidated profit after tax jumped 141% to ₹157.94 crore from ₹65.4 crore. On a standalone basis, EBITDA rose to ₹155 crore from ₹104 crore, taking the EBITDA margin to 19.35% from 12.13%, while operating profit margin improved to 14% compared with 7% a year earlier.

According to The Financial Express, the company is working on environmental studies for four nuclear projects including three for private investors and one for the government, while also engaged with Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited on consultancy assignments. In coal gasification, following the government's revised policy and proposed ₹34,000 crore viability-gap funding, the company is bidding for projects and working on an NTPC gas-to-synthetic natural gas project. The company secured order inflow of ₹8,214 crore in FY25 and entered FY27 with an order book of ₹14,424 crore, of which ₹10,498 crore was consultancy and ₹3,926 crore was turnkey.
The company has scheduled its 61st Annual General Meeting on September 18, 2026, at 11 am through video conference, as reported by CNBC TV18. Management expects to exceed market expectations of ₹7,000-8,000 crore in FY27 order inflows as diversification efforts gain pace. The company aims to sustain these margins throughout the financial year and exceed market expectations in order inflows. According to The Financial Express, consultancy segment profit margins were 24% in Q1 FY27, up from 17% a year earlier, while the lump sum turnkey segment margin was 7.5%. The company's balance sheet remains strong with borrowings of only ₹17 crore as of March 2026 and return on net worth of 22%, with management indicating that other investment plans are under consideration but no current plan to distribute the entire cash reserve to shareholders.
