- Working capital pressure from land acquisition through GDA Ghaziabad
- Order book stood at around Rs 1,000 cr including a Delhi sewerage network tender (~Rs 198 cr)
- No specific debt, cash or capex figures were disclosed in the AGM
The industry, as management sees it
Management views India's infrastructure and municipal water/sewerage segment as competitive (10-15 active STP competitors) but supported by sustained central and state government programmes such as Jal Jeevan Mission. The Yamuna Expressway corridor is highlighted as a rapidly developing micro-market for residential real estate.
Risks management named
- 80 MLD STP tender eligibility cap restricts ability to bid for larger municipal projects
- 10-15 active competitors in the STP and sewerage network segment
- FY26 free cash flow turned negative due to Q4-heavy revenue recognition with collections spilling into Q1 FY27
- Secretarial audit observation on delayed filings, for which additional fees were paid
Q&A
Only one shareholder (Hari) raised queries, producing a friendly and substantive Q&A on STP tender eligibility, the 80 MLD ceiling and free-cash-flow trajectory. Amit Rastogi (Principal Advisor) stepped in to handle the working-capital question, with the MD Vaibhav Tyagi addressing operational questions. No hostile pushback; CFO absence was not raised by the shareholder.
Asked for a number, answered without one
- Order inflow / tender win value projections: Stated order book around Rs 1,000 cr and named two STP tenders and a Delhi tender of ~Rs 198 cr, but gave no quantified order inflow or revenue growth target.
- MLD eligibility upgrade timeline: Stated eligibility is 80 MLD now and after completing the Haryana 60 MLD work they can go higher, but gave no completion date or target upgrade period.
- Data center water treatment segment: Said they are in municipal wastewater treatment, not data center water treatment, and called it a good suggestion for future without committing.
Every question, with its answer
1. STP tender pipeline and growth verticals
Hari, Speaker Shareholder
Question. What are the challenges the company faces in securing higher-value orders, are there execution capability restrictions, and are there any new business verticals planned in the next couple of years to grow market share in water treatment?
Answer, Vaibhav Tyagi, Managing Director. Management has secured two new STP tenders — Bhadohi (40 MLD) and Ambala (70 MLD) — and continues to bid across UP, Delhi and Haryana. The company's tendering eligibility is currently capped at 80 MLD, with 10-15 active competitors in the STP and sewerage networking space. Order book stands at approximately ₹1,000 crore. The company is also pursuing a ₹198 crore Delhi sewerage network tender.
Follow-up. Why is there an 80 MLD ceiling on tender eligibility?
Answer. Eligibility is based on prior experience — the company has previously executed 56 MLD and 40 MLD projects. After completing the 60 MLD Haryana project, the ceiling will step up beyond 80 MLD.
2. Free cash flow and working capital
Hari, Speaker Shareholder
Question. Free cash flow was negative in FY26 versus positive last year — when can shareholders expect FCF to track improving FCF as net profits grow, given rising working capital and land acquisition?
Answer, Amit Rastogi, Principal Advisor. Last year saw revenue growth from ₹214 crore to ~₹349 crore on a consolidated basis, with most turnover concentrated in the last quarter. Payments against those Q4 sales were realised only in April–June (Q1 FY27), which is why the March 2026 balance sheet showed negative cash flow. With FY27 turnover expected to be more evenly distributed across quarters, cash flow should turn positive. Management is not currently in the data-centre water-treatment segment and operates only in the municipal waste-water treatment space.
Follow-up. Suggestion: explore data-centre water treatment and recycling given rising water consumption in that segment.
Answer. Management acknowledged the suggestion as a future possibility for engagement with government, but reiterated current focus is on municipal waste-water treatment.
