IRCON International's Q1 Result Review: IDBI Capital
IDBI Capital said that the company's profit after tax for the financial year 2025's first quarter came in-line with its estimates. Operating performance was weak as revenue declined by 17% and and adjusted Ebitda margin at 6.8% was flat quarter-on-quarter, according to IDBI Capital.

Its order win has been lukewarm and order book has seen weakness at Rs 26,000 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal versus Rs 32,500 crore year-on-year, it said.
