However, one setback for the segment was the Supreme Court's stay order on crucial environment clearances, effectively halting progress on key projects like the Powai project.The management remained optimistic, projecting that once the environmental clearances were obtained, the company can unlock Rs 250–300 crore in revenue, signalling the potential for a strong rebound in this sector.The company expects to receive a couple of occupancy certificates next year and see higher blended margins in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026..Vascon Engineers Targets Rs 300 Crore Revenue With New Mumbai Housing Project.Vascon has a strong order book and is focussing on the EPC sector.
