Thank you, Pradeep, and good afternoon, everybody, and a warm welcome to all of you joining us on the call. My name is Gaurang Desai, and I serve as the CEO of your company. Now, it's always a pleasure to connect with our investor community. Pradeep has already given you glimpses of our business. But for the sake of reputation, FY '26 has been, by any measure, a strong year for Sanghvi Movers. Our revenue from operations reached INR 1,070 crores, and there is a growth of 36.9% over last year. While we're equally proud of the top line is also how we got here. Asset utilization improved to 79%, up from 74% in last financial year. That improvement reflects stronger fleet deployment, better planning and our teams executing with greater discipline on the ground. Then your assets are working harder and smarter, I mean that is operational health, and that is what creates durable long-term value. Now, let me turn to what gives us confidence going forward. So as of May, our consolidated order book stands at INR 1,053 crores, giving our teams clarity on deployment and our investor clarity on what to expect. And what is further exciting is our inquiry pipeline, which has expanded to almost INR 4,000 crores. This is a live pipeline reflecting real customer demand, real project activity and real market confidence in what your company brings to the table. Let me give you a little bit perspective on the industry. So in terms of sectors, let me talk about -- start about talking about wind energy. India added a record 6.1 gigawatt of wind capacity in FY '26 alone, and that's a massive 46% jump over the previous year. Total capacity stands at 56 gigawatts, and we are the clear trajectory to 100 gigawatts by 2030. And in fact, the government has already raised the long-term target to 156 gigawatt by 2036. So for your company, wind energy was the most active and growing segment. Every turbine that goes requires heavy lift. Every wind park that get commissioned, we are likely to be part of that story. Thermal, thermal is growing -- I mean projected to grow from 223 gigawatts to 300 gigawatts by 2030. And critically, the role of thermal is also evolving. The plants are being retrofitted and upgraded to work alongside renewables to flex and flex up and down as grid demands. This segment continues to be a strong contributor for us. Nuclear power, this is 1 sector where we all should be excited about. The government has launched a full energy mission, INR 20,000 crores, committed to small modular research, and 5 indigenous reactors is targeted by 2033. And we are also seeing movements in terms of private sector participation, where amendments are being discussed, namely like Reliance, Tata and Adani. Vedanta has already expressed interest. The long-term target is 100 gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2047. And at a CAGR of 26%, it's 1 of the fastest-growing energy subsector in India today. Refinery. India is already Asia's largest refiner, and we are expanding it further. The government has confirmed a capacity addition of almost 310 million tonnes per annum by 2030. A new $11 billion greenfield refinery underway under Andhra Pradesh, and our Honorable PM's vision goes further, 450 million tonnes by 2047, making India a top 3 refining hub. Cement. Cement is India's infrastructure fuel and the demand is running ahead of expectations. Installed capacity is already a 668 million tonnes per annum ahead of the original schedule. The 2030 target has been revised upwards to almost 85 million tonnes per annum. There are top 17 companies alone are committing almost INR 1.2 lakh crores in capital expenditure over the next 3 years. Steel. India is now the world's second largest steel producer. Capacity today is around 220 million tonnes per annum, targeting to almost 300 million tonnes by 2030, backed by a $100 million investment pipeline. Our new demand streams are opening up nuclear plants, renewable energy, infrastructure, data structures, smart cities all driving appetite for specialty steel and large new facilities. I would also give you a quick walk-through of long-term strategic growth driven by expansion in KSA. So KSA's infrastructure sector is nesting a strong momentum with the crane rental market estimated at around INR 1 billion, supported by massive INR 2 trillion investment pipeline. We have built a strong revenue visibility with a pipeline of around INR 50 million over the next 24 months and around INR 5 million in confirmed orders and additional INR 13 million to INR 18 million in high probability conversions. Our strategy is an aligned with Vision 2030, leveraging our expertise in the wind sector, certified operator robust safety stronger. To bring it all together, your company sits at the intersection of every major infrastructure themes paying out in India today, energy transition, industrial expansion, government campaigns, each of these them requires heavy lifting. And literally, we are win to deliver this. FY '26 was a strong year. Our order book is healthy. Our pipeline is strong, and our teams are executing with the level of confidence and competence that makes us genuinely proud. We remain deeply committed to create value for each 1 of you on this call, and we look forward to updating you on a continuous progress in the quarters ahead. Thank you very much.

[Operator Instructions] The first question is from the line of Krupa Desai from Electrum Capital.

Krupa Desai

Analysts
#5

Congratulation on a good set of numbers. There are 2, 3 questions. My first question was, in the presentation, you have mentioned that we have INR 612 crores of net debt versus if I see the gross debt is INR 673 crores, and we have a treasury of INR 353 crores. So shouldn't the net debt be like around INR 300 crores, INR 320-odd crores? Is that number correct? That's my first question.

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#6

Thank you, Krupa. Thank you very much for asking the questions and clarifications. And see -- this number is a consolidated number, and we are showing on a gross block basis. And when in the accounting we are presenting, it has been taken care of IndAS, and that's why the number stores like this, but we cannot net off those liabilities. We are netting off with those FD, which are linked to these liabilities. So that way, we are showing a gross liability. I will be giving you a better idea of netting of the entire resi releasing from the debt.

Krupa Desai

Analysts
#7

And sir, where do we see the debt profile going for the next year?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#8

So you have seen that in last 5 years, we are able to manage below 0.5%. But we are doing more CapEx in recent years, and we have planned to do it. So definitely, it will go up, but we'll maintain it at certain levels. And this is definitely going to be a little up considering the CapEx we have done.

Krupa Desai

Analysts
#9

Okay. And sir, what is your growth guidance for the next year?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#10

So on guidance side, we would like to maintain the growth we have done in the current year. We'd like to continue the same growth level. We can't quote the exact number, but our target is to achieve the same type of growth in the current year and next year.

Krupa Desai

Analysts
#11

So do you believe that we will be able to do this 30% crane's rental growth going ahead?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#12

Yes. That's what we have taken target. Now, we let's see coming each quarter.

Krupa Desai

Analysts
#13

Yes. So what's your view on the Middle East situation right now, have any projects stopped there? Or any slowdown we are seeing there?

Rishi Sanghvi

Executives
#14

Krupa, my name is Rishi Sanghvi. Current situation in West Asia, we are still able to derive utilization in the range of 85% to 90% and a yield which is upwards of 4.5%. We have in pipeline of nearly $50 million in the next 24 months. And we are still committed to deploying the spillover CapEx of INR 120 crores from last year and an incremental CapEx of almost INR 200 crores for the purchase of brand new cranes. So this year, we are forecasting to spend approximately INR 320 crores in the middle, and specifically for the [indiscernible]. Now, all the CapEx that we are bringing online is moving directly from Board to site. So given the current situation in West Asia, we are still doubling down on our initial hypothesis to expand into the Middle East. And not withstanding what is happening right now, we are able to maintain exceptional numbers in terms of utilization.

[Operator Instructions] We will take our next question from the line of Nishant J. Sharma from Nuvama Wealth.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#16

Congratulations for a great set of numbers. Sir, my first question related to the previous participants with respect to KSA. While -- what is our moat over there to win the business? I believe there would be other competition, which will be already playing around there, and how we would be able to gain market share from them? So first is around that.

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#17

What's your second question?

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#18

My second question is around what is the split for order book for 3 businesses, and what is the revenue contribution from 3 businesses for the full year?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#19

So in terms of India business, the -- so we -- currently, we are sitting on an order book of INR 1,035 crores -- or INR 53 crores. We don't give you a revenue split by businesses. We are only giving a consolidated revenue order book at the start of the year. Now, with respect to your first question, what is our right to win? You see Sanghvi Movers Limited is the fifth largest crane rental company in the world. We are the largest crane rental company in India and the largest in Asia. And what we have is 36 years of experience. And what we bring to the table is 3.5 decades of operational, safety and technical know-how. Now, when we entered the Middle East market, our reputation preceded us. We were able to penetrate the market. And in a very short span, we were able to move into all sectors, such as oil and gas, infrastructure, energy and such. So one is that our history, track record, brand application, our operating capabilities on the technical side for owning, operating and maintaining the crane, we have transferred significant amount of capabilities and best practices to the Middle East. And above it and beyond that, operating in India gives us the advantage of operating on an exceptionally lean cost structure. So these things have enabled us to consistently deliver value to our customers in the Middle East and in the peak of the current situation in West Asia. We have opened up a new market in Kazan, thereby demonstrating the region's demand for cranes and that to from a supplier of Sanghvi Movers Limited. In addition to what I have just mentioned, there is a liver shortage of cranes in the region. If the entire population of cranes in the region was to double overnight, there would still be a shortage of cranes in the market. So we are well positioned both from a demand side as well as from a supply side with respect to our value differentiated offerings, and therefore, we believe that we have a significant right to win in the market, which is clearly being demonstrated by the fact that we will be both EBITDA and cash flow positive in the coming few -- we are -- on a cumulative base. We are already there on a month-to-month basis. We will be there on a cumulative basis in the coming few months. Therefore, the business setup in the both Saudi and Qatar will have a positive contribution not only to the top line, but the bottom line. Sorry, there are only 2 questions for participant. So go back in queue.

Next question is from the line of Sunil Jain from Nirmal Bang Securities.

Sunil Jain

Analysts
#21

Sir, 2 questions. One is the diesel prices are increasing. So are you able to pass it on or are you have to absorb it that in your how much is that cost relevant? I mean, how much percentage of revenue it is there?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#22

What's the next question?

Sunil Jain

Analysts
#23

Yes. Next question is this wind EPC growth, which you are getting in the next year, will it be in line with the company growth or it can be higher than the company growth?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#24

So yes, there is a big fluctuation in the diesel price, and we are already in discussion with our clients for a price increase.

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#25

The 50% of our contracts have been supplying our customers.

Sunil Jain

Analysts
#26

Okay. So you can pass it -- I mean, it's a variable cost, which has been passed it on to the customer for at least 50% of the contract?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#27

No. So 50% of our clients give us free supply of fuel. And for the balance 50%, we are already in advanced stage of discussions with the client for a price increase.

Sunil Jain

Analysts
#28

Okay. Okay. And second question, sir. This was related to wind.

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#29

Yes. So we have taken a revenue from wind from Hungary, which is it's not EPC engineering and construction to be very clear. We don't do any procurer industry supply of turbine from the client. Our revenue for FY '24-'25 to '25-'26 has almost doubled. We believe that in the coming years, there is a sizable opportunity in this segment. And we will take in through those orders that we believe will help us maintain a minimum threshold in terms of profitability as well as coupled with our ability to execute and deliver. So the opportunities to be frank with you is far ahead of our current scale of organization to deliver. And therefore, we are becoming extremely sticky and choosy in terms of which contracts we will take on in order to maintain a healthy margin profile on the business.

Sunil Jain

Analysts
#30

Great. But the growth will be similar to last year or better than the company growth you expect that?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#31

I think overall, the company at a consolidated basis on the top line will grow in the range of what we did last year. This is what we are targeting. Only the coming quarters can show whether we are successful or not.

Next question is from the line of Ishan from JM Financial.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#33

Sir, I just want to ask about the margins. So as the margins have fallen continuously, so what is the margin guidance for the next year?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#34

Making guidance for next year.

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#35

So -- sorry, what's your name, please?

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#36

Ishan, sir.

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#37

So as the question has a premise that the margin is falling consistently. While you may be right that the blended EBITDA margin is falling, you have to understand that the revenue profile of the company is shifting from our core trade rental business, we are building a second engine of growth in the renewables for engineering and construction. There are 2 things that we had to understand. The core business has still grown at 30% and has contributed significantly to both the EBITDA and the bottom under BLE and all the other financial ratios. The incremental growth beyond 30% in terms of the top line, which has allowed the company cross and historical revenue of INR 1,100 crores is coming from the new business engine, which was carved out in 2024 as a wholly owned subsidiary in Sanghvi Movers future regular private. And this company has doubled in revenue and has zero -- is not a CapEx heavy business. It is an asset-light business. So while our core remains in every business, the engineering and construction business under Sanghvi is asset-light. And therefore, the margin profile is inherently different. It is a high gross, lower EBITDA business. The loss on this business is -- today, we have closed the ROCs. Okay. So in the core business, we have invested in FY '25-'26, approved CapEx of INR 630 crores. This year, we are doing INR 390 crores on a total of almost INR 1,030 crores. The entirety of this CapEx is going towards our crane rental business, which is our core business, which continue to sustain a positive growth of 30% year-on-year. And we are positive that going forward, we will see another 30% growth in our crane rental business. You absolute EBITDA that the company is able to deliver and not at the margin profile because the second engine that we have created within the group, which is the engineering and construction business is a low EBITDA, high ROCE growth. So this is what you should remain.

Jay Bharat Trivedi

Analysts
#42

Congratulations on good set of numbers. My 2 questions are -- both of them are relating to the CapEx, which we have had First is that our last year gross block was INR 2,680 crores, on which we have done a CapEx of around INR 407 crores. So INR 407 crores I'm taking from the cash flow, the amount, so which gives me a total gross block of INR 3,100-odd crores. If I put the 79% capacity utilization and 2.12 yield, my revenue is coming at INR 620 crores, whereas we have reported a revenue of INR 693 crores in the crane business. Can you help me understand the rates?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#43

So if I understand what you're saying that if you total up the total CapEx, it comes to INR 3,100 crores. And if you take the average capacity utilization and yield, you are reaching a particular number. Can you just repeat that, please?

Jay Bharat Trivedi

Analysts
#44

INR 620 crores. So INR 3,100 crores, I'm putting a 79% utilization, which is being then multiplied by 2.12%, which is the yield multiplied by 12. Is my calculation, right?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#45

I don't know, it's your calculation.

Jay Bharat Trivedi

Analysts
#46

No, but that is how the revenue is calculated. That is what I want to...

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#47

What is your question? Can you rephrase it because you're not audible?

Jay Bharat Trivedi

Analysts
#48

So I'm just asking the capacity utilization number, 79% and the yield of 2.12% per month, which is given in the presentation. If I apply both 2 metrics to the revenue number of INR 693 crores, which is the crane rental revenue, my gross block is not coming as per the cash flow CapEx and the last year gross, which you have given? If you want, we can take this off-line. I don't mind.

Pradeep Mehta

Yes. You can send your query on e-mail, and then, we will report you because your calculation is difficult to...

Next question is from the line of Hemant Shah from Seven Island PMO.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#52

Congratulations for the great set of numbers. I have 2 questions. One is with respect to the deferred CapEx of around INR 165 crores, which was deferred from FY '26 to '27. If you can just say till May, have we deployed anything? And what is the time line of the INR 391 crore of the CapEx, which is going to be spent in the current FY '27, the execution time line, if you can say? And secondly, second question would be, was there any execution delay, Rishi, for Q4? Why I'm asking you this is because Q3 unexecuted order book was around INR 525 crores, and I think we did INR 350 crores of sales in Q4. I think we could have done even more if there is any delay. If there is no delay, then it's also final. If you can just clarify .

Rishi Sanghvi

Executives
#53

Yes. So to your first question, on the CapEx side, your calculation is all right. So those crane for India, 2 cranes were remaining in the last March ending and which we supplied to us in the first fortnight of April. So we already completed our India CapEx. In KSA, there were certain cranes due to certain delivery delay from the OEM side, those cranes are now are done in this financial year, and those CapEx of INR 123 crores with 57 cranes, we are going to do it in this financial year. Adding on to this, we have announced our mode has approved another CapEx of INR 190 crores in India and around INR 200 crores in ASA, so a total almost 61 cranes, we are going to buy as per the business requirement, and the supplies to we have arranged depending on the business requirement, we have staggered throughout the year. So we will -- during -- you understand monsoon periods, some supplies, we are deferring as per aligning with the order. So it will be across the year on the CapEx side.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#54

Okay. And with respect to the -- any execution delay in Q4?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#55

I think the Q4 revenue year-on-year has improved on quarter-on-quarter. So I don't understand where the question on execution delay is coming now.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#56

Okay. No, no. My bad. I mean, there won't be, I'm sure. There is a great execution, no doubt about it. But I was expecting we could have executed over INR 400 crores of order book. I mean, is that understanding correct?

In your initial remarks, you spoke about INR 4,000 crores pipeline. So how much do you think it can get converted for you into order in the next 3 to 6 months?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#60

So it will be difficult to answer -- difficult question because there's a lot of amount of predictability. What we are saying that we are starting the year is a strong order book of almost INR 1,050 crores. And we hope to aim towards good conversion. But again, a lot of things depends on external environment.

Unknown Attendee

#61

Okay. And second question is regarding the EBITDA margin. So I think Rishi sir said in 1 of the interviews that by Q1 or Q2 FY '27 breakeven in Saudi. And is there an internal blended EBITDA margins you guys target on an annual basis. These are the EBITDA margin question.

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#62

Again, EBITDA margin for which business vertical?

Unknown Attendee

Attendees
#63

Overall blended. Blended, I'm asking. And EBITDA margin for Saudi business, it was supposed to break even by Q1 or Q2 in FY '27. So is it on track? Or is there any impact due to the war?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#64

As far as the business in the Middle East is concerned, in Sandia Middle East Lever extremely proud to that on a 2-month basis, we are both EBITDA and cash flow positive. Our cumulative EBITDA and cumulative cash flow positivity will be achieved in the coming few months, and we are on track to achieve it. Regarding the EBITDA profile, we run through significantly 2 to 3 significantly diverse business units by end. One is a capital-intensive, asset-heavy, high EBITDA margin business, which is our core crane rental business. And the second is an asset-light working capital heavy, high ROCE business. And so therefore, to target a blended EBITDA margin is a wrong business strategy. Each of these business units has its own P&L in-house each of the businesses in different entities in order to drive fundamental differences in how these businesses operate and maximize profitability, revenue and return to shareholders. And therefore, we do not target a blended EBITDA margin. We drive level variance.

And so my question is with respect to you said that the utilization in the Middle East is around 87% to 90%. So we are not facing any kind of issue with respect to the demand or what is the demand scenario? I wanted to understand this.

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#67

Notwithstanding the situation in West Asia, we are -- in the month of March 2026, we had reported almost a utilization of 90% for that particular. And we are still generating a yield upwards of 4.5%. Looking forward, we have an inquiry pipeline for the next 24 months to the tune of $50 million. And the company is still committed to deploy the spillover CapEx of INR 120 crores, along with INR 201 crores, which has been approved by the Board of Directors and is meeting on 28th May 2026. So for the entire financial year, your company will deploy somewhere around 290 -- sorry, INR 201 crores and INR 120 crores of CapEx in brand new cranes. And based on our inquiry pipeline these ongoing projects, we believe that we will continue to maintain this level of utilization and yield. So now 1 of the challenges that we have is in the supply chain disruption, which is bringing the cranes from the country of origin to both Saudi Arabia and Qatar. If the shipping lines to the region continue to be, then there may be a postponement of CapEx. Not withstanding a postponement of CapEx, we are still on track to hit our EBITDA -- cumulative EBITDA and cumulative cash flow collectivity in the coming few months. So given this entire backdrop, your company still believes in its initial hypothesis of international expansion to this region and sees a long-term player for the next few decades.

Okay. Understood. My next question is with respect to the order of the current order book, as you have mentioned. So it is around roughly INR 1,060 crores, right, on a consolidated basis. So how much of this will be executable in FY '27 itself? And how much will be passed on to FY '28? And if you can also provide the inquire order pipeline as well?

Gaurang Desai

Executives

Sure. So, Raj, the order book, which you mentioned is completely executable in the current financial year. And what was the next question?

Inquiry order pipeline?

Unknown Analyst

My question is regarding this INR 123 crores of cranes, which we have ordered. What is the status of those cranes? Are they in transit? Or are they rerouted to Jeddah port? And when will be they delivered to KSA?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#74

So the deferred CapEx of INR 120 crores, some of it is already available in the country and some of it is pending for shipment. The balance CapEx has already been ordered to the OEMs, are in various stages of production and nothing is on route. There is some plus inventory of the OEMs in the country, which we are looking to take in case -- in the event that we are not able to get fresh inventory from the country of origin to both Saudi Arabia and Qatar. So really, why we are committed to deploying the capital, and we have taken approval from the Board of Directors, and this decision has been supported by our inquiry pipeline and our demand from our customers and our visibility on the market, until the clarity in the disruption in the supply chain as far as shipping lines and shipping congestion and shipping challenges are resolved, if the situation will remain fluid. This is on the supply. However, on the demand side, as we have repeatedly updated on this call, we see a clear line of visibility to $50 million of inquiry pipeline, which is attributable in the next 24 months.

Unknown Analyst

#75

Okay. Sir, but isn't it possible to reroute the cranes to Jeddah port for delivery?

Gaurang Desai

Jeddah is also facing severe congestion. And also there is a figure hike in shipping cost due to congestion. It is possible, but it is costly and uncertain.

My first question is regarding the order book. It will be let us know how much is short term and how much is long term, first question? And second question was regarding employee costs. So I can see employ cost has risen around 103% year-on-year in FY '26. Any specific reason for the same?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#79

Thanks for the question. So the order book of INR 1,053 crores is fully executable this year. Regarding your second question on the increase in the fixed cost, yes, I mean our E&C business has grown almost twice to what year ago. So there is addition of fixed cost, and that's the reason why you're seeing the increase.

Rishi Sanghvi

Executives

So we have also been aggressively valuing leadership talent, both in India and in Saudi Arabia because we have a stated vision ELEVATE 2030, which is our 5-year strategic model plan, which talks about building up the capabilities of the organization, so while the employee costs have come up and some of it is attributable to the E&C business under Sanghvi Future Renewables, which was manpower and employee cost heavy. There is also a significant investment in the team, and I'm very proud to have Gaurang Desai, CEO; and Mr. Pradeep Mehta as our CFO, along with the entirety of the financial team. If you look at our investor presentation, you can see the entirety of our team presented in that presentation. That in itself along with the fact that we want to play an employer of choice, we want to reward our employees, reflect in the nature of expense in employee cost.

Unknown Analyst

Okay. My other question was regarding the diesel costs which you mentioned. You were mentioning that you were able to -- you were in discussion with the clients, so 50% passed on. So how is the nature of contract? And how is the fuel cost passed on? Is it passed along with the crane?

Rishi Sanghvi

Executives

So again to reiterate, 50% of our clients are HSS issue. And other 50%, we are in advanced discussion with the client for a price increase.

Next question is from the line of Mohit from Shublab Research.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts

My question pertains to, particularly wind EPC. If I look at the quarterly run rate in this segment of the business, it seems that the execution is not picking up despite having talks of incremental wind energy installation in the country. So I just wanted to get your opinion on what is causing this slumber in this segment? What's the idea we are getting from our wind clients as far as the turbine installation is concerned?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#85

So can you repeat your question because it's not clear?

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#86

I'm sorry, sir. Sir, is it clear now?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#87

You are audible, but your question is not clear. Can you please clarify the question?

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#88

Yes. I am just trying to understand the slower pickup in wind EPC segment revenue. We are seeing that on a year-on-year basis, wind installation -- wind turbine installation in India is picking up, but our revenue from the segment probably is flattish, INR 106 crores last quarter last year, and this quarter, INR 116 crores. So this growth quantum seems a little low to me. So I'm just trying to understand what's the reason behind it? Why is it that wind turbines are not getting installed from us?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#89

So first of all, the country erected 6 gigawatts last year. Of those 6 gigawatts, your company has directly delivered 2 gigawatts, okay? So we have a historical track record of 17-plus gigawatts of WTG installation. And in the last year itself we have delivered 2 gigawatts. Just because the country's capacity addition is increasing. It doesn't mean there is a direct correlation to our E&C business in Sanghvi Future Renewables because, one, the demand size that we are seeing is far better than our ability to scale the business and deliver projects at an acceptable EBITDA margin. The second is there is a timing delay of revenue recognition in EPC projects because you -- a lot of the revenue is linked to POCM methodology of accounting which is percentage of completion methodology of accounting. And therefore, it's not a linear correlation between the country's capacity addition and the Sanghvi Future Renewables ability to recognize them. So one, it is -- we have delivered 2,000 megawatts as a company for the country. The second is we are choosing which contracts to execute. We don't want to go another additional route of EPC or E&C company and struggle with execution. And most of the large and well-established players in the past have faced these challenges. And the third is that there is a timing mismatch of revenue on BOC.

Rishi Sanghvi

Executives

And having said that, for it, we as a company has demonstrated substantial growth as compared to last year.

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#91

So double our revenue in the segment.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#92

Yes, certainly, sir. So I'm just looking at on a quarterly basis, year-on-year comparison. But I get your point, probably this PCOM, et cetera, is causing some revenue sitting idle in the probably balance sheet. Sir, my second question is, we have been -- simultaneously, we have been hearing about some delays in wind installation because of right of way issues and connectivity issues, et cetera, et cetera. So for FY '27, what is your opinion on our performance? Should we see material growth here, 30%, 40%? I'm just asking, sir?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#93

So as we already indicated, the group will deliver or expect to deliver and is internally targeting a 30% growth on its overall consolidated revenue.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#94

So we should take the same number for wind segment also, sir?

Gaurang Desai

Next question is from the line of Ajay Rajneesh Chala from Mihir A. Schein Company.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#97

So if I heard you right, you mentioned a yield of 4.5%. I'm assuming this is for KSA and Middle East. India is currently at 2.24% for the quarter. So if you could help me understand what the cost structure different is as compared to India and the Middle East? Yes, that will be question one.

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#98

So the operating costs in Saudi Arabia and Qatar are, of course, significantly higher in terms of manpower costs, logistics costs, et cetera, repairs and maintenance and things like that. So the EBITDA profile of that business when we benchmarked it is around 40% to 45%, but we believe because of our 3.5 years -- of decades, our technical operating and efficiency factors that we can deliver in the country and our capability to operate as a leaner cost structure, we can push that EBITDA profile to 45% to 48%.

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#99

Right. And my second question is, if I look at -- over the years, if I look at the yield that Sanghvi Movers has had in India, so right now -- so what is your view on the yields? Like what do you think really affects it? Is it construction? Is it a supply of cranes? Is it like cranes getting older and Sanghvi Movers having some kind of more test -- like what really drives that yield over the years, if you could give us a broad view?

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#100

So our yield in the last financial year has been around 21%. And we foresee maintaining the sale with a plus/minus 5% deviation.

Gaurang Desai

Unknown Analyst

#106

Sorry to stretch a bit on KSA. How are the yield comparison with the competitors at KSA? And who are our customer over there? Is it the Indian contractors over there or those are mainly local customers from that side? And second question would be on working capital requirement and return ratios in the Engineering & Construction business.

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#107

So I'll answer the question on KSA. We believe that we are at the upper pricing spectrum as far as yield is concerned, and largely, we are able to derive this pricing because of our track record, brand recognition and the fact that we are supplying brand-new equipments in the country. So that is on the yield profile in comparison to competitors. As far as the customers are concerned, we do not, as of today, have a single Indian client who is working in Saudi. We have multiple customers who are regional or country-specific contractors, shutdown, EPC contractors, so on and so forth. So that is the question on KSA. What was your question on the E&C business? Can you please repeat yourself?

Unknown Analyst

Analysts
#108

What is the working capital requirement? And what are the return ratios that you target in the Engineering and Construction business?

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#109

So working capital days is around ranging 50 to 60 days in this business for engineering and construction. And what about...

Pradeep Mehta

Executives
#110

Ratios.

Gaurang Desai

Executives
#111

Ratios, on ROCE, is improving like we again earlier call -- in the call already that these are very high ratio on ROCE side as compared to other business because this is a less capital-intensive business. It's more on a satellite model. So ratio on ROCE is very, very high.
