BCPL Railway Infrastructure reported strong revenue growth for FY24-25. Standalone revenue rose 49.69% to Rs 13,566.59 lacs from Rs 9,063.03 lacs in FY23-24, with EBITDA up 37.88% to Rs 1,432.31 lacs. However, standalone EBITDA margin contracted by about 90 basis points to 10.56%. Consolidated revenue jumped 81.19% to Rs 16,423.92 lacs, but consolidated EBITDA margin saw a sharper compression of nearly 340 bps to 7.96%, and consolidated PAT declined 5.56% to Rs 505.92 lacs. The railway electrification business drove growth with new orders worth Rs 32,202 lacs during the quarter. Management flagged that the consolidated Rice Bran Oil subsidiary (BCL Bio Energy) is facing teething issues and proposed to reduce its stake from 51% to 29%, divesting control to Phoenix Overseas Limited.
Strong top-line growth driven by the core railway business is positive, but shrinking margins and a dip in consolidated profits suggest rising costs or weaker profitability at the subsidiary. The proposed divestment in the Rice Bran Oil venture signals the company is refocusing on its core railway infrastructure business, which could be viewed positively by investors.
