Q2 FY27 standalone revenue was ₹895.8 crore and net profit ₹36.8 crore. Standalone EBITDA margin fell to 12.2% from 16.1%, while consolidated profit dropped 52.8% to ₹22.6 crore. New orders were ₹524 crore, the order backlog was ₹12,901 crore, and the pursuit pipeline was ₹85,907 crore. HCC prepaid ₹100 crore of debt and targets another ₹108 crore by December 2026.

Likely market impact

Large order visibility and debt reduction are positives for shareholders, but falling margins and lower consolidated profit may weigh on sentiment.
