Kalpataru Projects International Ltd posted on Monday a 26% decline in consolidated net profit to ₹84 crore for the June 2024 quarter, dragged by higher expenses.

It had clocked ₹113 crore in profit in the year-ago period, the company said in an exchange filing. The company's total income rose to ₹4,609 crore from ₹4,259 crore in April–June 2023–24.

The expenses surged to ₹4,472 crore from ₹4,094 crore a year ago.

KPIL is one of the largest specialised EPC companies engaged in power transmission and distribution, buildings and factories, water supply and irrigation, railways, oil and gas pipelines, urban mobility (flyovers and metro rail), highways, and airports.

Commenting on the results, Manish Mohnot, MD & CEO, KPIL, said, “We have delivered resilient performance in Q1 FY25 despite lower manpower availability and delays in collections given typical seasonality and general elections. However, getting into Q2 FY25, we have started to see moderation in working capital intensity with improving budgetary allocations. We are confident of achieving our targeted net working capital of below 100 days by the end of FY25."
