With that, I now hand over the call to Mr. Riddharth Jain. Over to you, sir.
Riddharth Jain: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. We are pleased to begin FY27 on
a strong operational footing as Highway Infrastructure continues to strengthen its position as a
diversified infrastructure platform.
Over the last few years, we have successfully evolved from a regional EPC contractor into a
multi-vertical infrastructure company with operations across tollway collection, EPC, and real
estate, creating a balanced business model that allows us to participate in multiple segments of
India's infrastructure growth story.
During Q1 FY27, our revenue growth was supported by steady execution across our business
verticals. Our diversified model continues to be a key strength, enabling us to pursue
opportunities across different infrastructure segments, while maintaining a disciplined approach
to growth and capital allocation.
Our consolidated order book stood at approximately INR 778 crores as of June 30, 2026,
providing a healthy visibility of future execution. The order book is well-diversified across

businesses and supported by a strong mix of government and private sector projects. At the same
time, we continue to pursue a healthy bidding pipeline that provides confidence in our growth
outlook.
Within the EPC business, we continue to focus on commercially viable opportunities across
roads, bridges, urban infrastructure, industrial developments, and commercial buildings. Our
approach remains centered on execution quality and profitability rather than simply maximizing
our order book size. We continue to see encouraging opportunities supported by a healthy L1
pipeline.
A notable milestone during this quarter was the commencement of execution of Beverly Hills
project, which further strengthens our private sector EPC portfolio and medium-term revenue
visibility. Talking about our tollway collection business, the segment benefits from an asset-
light model, strong operational expertise, and the ability to participate in large-scale tolling
opportunities across the country.
During the quarter, profitability was impacted by a combination of temporary factors, including
lower traffic volumes at the Moti Naroli toll project due to geopolitical developments and global
trade disruptions.
A temporary bidding restriction from NHAI and the voluntary surrender of a toll project where
economics had been unfavorable due to the same reason. These factors led to a short-term impact
on profitability but do not alter the long-term fundamentals of the business. At the same time,
this gave the team time to recalibrate and review our internal systems. Importantly, we have
already started witnessing signs of improvement in the traffic trends.
During July 2026, our tolling business continued to strengthen during the quarter through
strategic project wins and geographic expansion. We secured a new tollway collection contract
valued at approximately INR 28.7 crores for the Kozhinjipatti toll plaza on the Dindigul-
Samayanallur stretch of the NH-44 in Tamil Nadu.
We also received the letter of acceptance for toll operations at the fee plaza located at kilometer
154.5 on the Krishnagiri-Thumbipadi section of NH-44 with a contract value of approximately
INR 80 crores. NH-44 is one of India's most important economic corridors, connecting key
industrial, manufacturing, and logistics hubs while facilitating substantial commercial and
freight movement across the country.
These wins not only strengthen our order book and revenue visibility but also significantly
expand our footprint in South India, like we intended to. Looking ahead, we remain confident in
our growth outlook, backed by a diversified business model, expanding geographic footprint,
strong execution capability, and a healthy project pipeline. Highway Infrastructure is well-
positioned to capitalize on India's long-term infrastructure opportunity.
While Q1 FY27 was impacted by certain temporary and project-specific challenges, our
underlying business fundamentals remain strong, and with improving traffic trends, new order
wins, and continued focus on disciplined execution, we remain committed to creating sustainable
long-term value for all stakeholders.
