KEC International order book tops Rs 40,000 crore, Q1 profit falls 41%
KEC International is a big company that builds things like power lines, roads, and cables all over the world.
It is part of a larger group of companies called the RPG Group.
The company just shared how it did in the first three months of its new business year.
During that time, the company made less profit than before—its profit went down by 41 percent.
It made 73 crore rupees in profit, which is still a lot of money.
The money the company earned from its work stayed almost the same as last year.
The company's leaders said the work environment was tough.
There were problems in the Middle East that disturbed business, and it was hard to find enough workers.
The company is still doing well in other ways: it has a huge amount of work lined up, worth more than 40,000 crore rupees.
It also owes less money than before, which is good news for the future.
KEC International's order book and L1 position exceeded Rs 40,000 crore as of Q1FY27.
Net profit fell 41% year-on-year to Rs 73 crore from Rs 125 crore in Q1FY26.
Revenue stayed nearly flat at Rs 5,024 crore against Rs 5,023 crore a year earlier.
Net debt was cut by more than Rs 150 crore to Rs 6,568 crore as of June 30.
Management cited Middle East geopolitical disruptions, labour shortages, and delayed payments on water projects as drags on performance.
