A very warm welcome to all of you in today's investor call for third quarter of Rail Vikas Nigam Limited. My name is Saleem Ahmad. I am chairman and managing director of your company. I have recently joined your company almost a month back. I have experience of working with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, and lastly, I was working as Director Projects with NBCC (India) Limited. So I want to assure all the stakeholders that my focus area will be that all the works which are ongoing should be completed on time, and I will focus on the faster execution of our order book. I will be focusing on achieving the sustainable and good growth for both top line and bottom line. Our results for quarter three have been declared. We have achieved top line of in quarter three, we have achieved top line of INR 4,936 crore, and our profit before tax is INR 359 crore. If we see the nine months performance, our consolidated top line is INR 14,406 crore, and our profit before tax is INR 841 crore. If you see our order book, your company order book is very strong. We have almost INR 87,000 crore of order which includes railway nomination works of INR 40,000 crore, and we have secured INR 47,000 crore of work on bidding. Recently also, we have secured works of INR 1,528 crore of new works in the last nine months and have emerged as the lowest bidder for the project's volume, INR 3,667 crore. We have also signed an MOU with Visakhapatnam Port Authority for development of various infrastructure projects in that port, and we are also in discussion with various states and public sector bodies to explore the businesses' opportunities in that area. I also want to brief all of you about the progress of the important works which we are carrying out. First important project which your company is doing is Vande Bharat project, where 120 train sets are being manufactured along with our Russian counterpart. I want to brief all of you that work is progressing very well in that sector. First prototype which is required as per the key dates will be met and will be ready with the first prototype in June or July of this year. That will be a major achievement of the major project. Another important project which is going on is BharatNet project. Progress in that project is also progressing satisfactorily, and we are hopeful to generate good income out of that project in this year. Our important project is another important project is Rishikesh-Karnaprayag, where work is going on full swing. And our target which is to achieve the completion of the project in December 2028, and we are progressing very well in that project also. So dear shareholder, I want to assure you on behalf of Rail Vikas Nigam Limited, your company, that our management with me as Chairman and our Directors will make all efforts to ensure sustainable good growth in the future and ensure good profit in the future. Thank you very much, and now the forum is open for questions and answers. Thank you. Thank you very much. We will now begin the question- and- answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on the touch-tone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. Participants may press star and one to ask a question. The first question is from the line of Vishal from PL Capital. Please go ahead. Yeah, so thanks for the opportunity. And before others can join for the call, maybe I'll ask a few questions. So one is in terms of how exactly are we seeing the full year for us in terms of the growth rate, and second, on the margins front, how expected this trajectory is going to be in financial year 2026? Vishal, our growth in top line is quite challenging right now because, as you know from earlier, we were getting railway works, and now we are diversifying into bidding works also. But we are hopeful that this year, our growth will be good. We are expecting a growth of 1%-2% than the previous year. But profit, we are not expecting such good profit this year because a major part of our income will be from the bidding works where the margins are less. So definitely, there will be some hit in our bottom line. But I want to assure all of you that in the future, in the next financial year, we'll be doing much better and will have a better growth next year. But this year, it will be stagnant growth in top line, and maybe we might get a dip in our bottom line. Sure, sir. Yeah, sure, sir. This is helpful. Second, sir, in terms of orders, can you give some color? I mean, how has been the order inflow for us in the last one, two quarters, and any new opportunity that you are seeing that is emerging that could boost our order book in times to come? Yes, I just brief you. In the last quarters, we have emerged as lowest in works amounting to INR 3,500 crore, and already works up to INR 1,500 crore have been awarded to us. So future is good. We are in talks with many public sector units to get works on MOU basis. We are bidding for highway works, for railway works, and there's a lot of opportunity for us in the future because recently, in budget, a lot of capital expenditure has been announced for railway works. So we are hopeful that we will get a good chunk out of that budget. Got it, sir. Our future looks very good. Yeah. Yeah. So I think you briefly touched upon the budget. Can you give some perspective? Because this time, we have seen a decent jump in the lease asset line item of the budget. And I mean, do we get to participate in that particular CapEx of Ministry of Railway? And another question related to that, high-speed rails, they have been announced. But given your experience, sir, how much time it takes when, I mean, the orders can come to the market and we can bid for those projects? As you see the market, as you see the budget, there is a huge opportunity for us. Railway is continuously spending money on the infrastructure improvement, whether it's doubling of the line or the new line. So we are hopeful to get good works from these infrastructure works taken by railways. And about the new corridors which have been recently announced for this high-speed train network, so we are not sure whether we can be part of that work because that work is interested to another organization. But definitely, we will try to take some work from the bidding point of view. We'll bid for those projects in the future, but its timeline will be, I think, slightly 2 or 3 years. In this year, we are not expecting any work from that sector. But already, railway infrastructure, a lot of works are in pipeline or in tendering state, so we are hopeful to get a good amount of orders from that. Right, sir. Right. And in terms of, sir, pipeline of railway orders, though we have seen a good 10%-11% sort of CapEx increase, in terms of order inflow also, I know maybe it's a little early, but any pipeline that you see for yourself and how this opportunity can be in terms of number, anything that can be provided, sir? If you see the next three years, we already have almost INR 40,000 crore of railway works. Our first focus is to complete those works within the next three years. That will bring us the income of almost 10,000-11,000 per annum. [Parallelly], we will be focusing on getting new works on bidding. [audio distortion] Our target is to get at least income of INR 10,000-12,000 from those works also. In addition, other infrastructure works are also coming, whether by PSUs, by state government, and in other sectors also. So we are trying in all the sectors that we should get good works. We are hopeful that in the near future, in the next three years, we'll get good orders. Okay, okay. Sure, sir. And best wishes to you and your team, and I'll come back in the future. Thank you. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Shubham from Antique Stock Broking. Please go ahead. Yeah, hi, sir. Thanks for the opportunity. Sir, I have only one question regarding Vande Bharat order. So what is the current status on the Vande Bharat order? Thank you, Shubham. Vande Bharat is a very prestigious project for us also and railways. So we are manufacturing 120 train sets. And right now, our work is going on as per the planned progress. Our first milestone will be to give the prototype to the railways, and we are hopeful to achieve this milestone within this year as per the program of the railways, which is, I think, June 2026. And sir, this will be basically the Sleeper Vande Bharat or the normal one? Sleeper Vande Bharat, Sleeper train with 16 coaches. 16 coaches configuration. Okay, okay. That's it, sir. Thanks. Thank you. A reminder to all the participants, you may press star and one to ask questions. Participants, may press star and one to ask questions. The next question is from the line of Ashish Shah from HDFC Mutual Fund. Please go ahead. Hello. Yeah, good evening, sir. Yes, Ashish. Good evening. Yeah. Sir, I just had a question on the order book that we have. So you said that out of INR 87,000 crore, INR 40,000 crore is nomination-based, and INR 47,000 crore are the new bidding-based orders. So for each of these buckets, if you can first highlight how much of, let's say, this INR 40,000 crore nomination, what portion of this order book is currently under execution, and what is maybe awaiting some approvals or go ahead from the railways? No, this work is in progress. It's already awarded to us. Work is going on full swing. As I just briefed you, out of this INR 40,000 order book, we have to complete this order book in the next three years. Accordingly, works are going on. Okay. Thank you. And how about the other order book of bidding-based INR 47,000 crore? Yeah, even that work is going on. Most work. So it's entirely under execution? Yes. Under progress. Yeah. Which includes Vande Bharat, BharatNet, and other bidding projects of railways. Railways, roadways. Right. And what's the kind of execution that one can hope from this order book? Because it's a complex set of mix where Vande Bharat would be having a longer execution cycle, and the others could be shorter. So let's say if you say that in nomination INR 40,000 crore, you have roughly three years to deliver. So let's say give or take INR 11,000 crore-INR 12,000 crore, if I'm doing a simple arithmetic, could be from this particular set of INR 40,000 crore. And out of this INR 47,000 crore, what could be our revenue execution cycle like? The cycle for this is quite long for Vande Bharat and BharatNet. But parallelly, we are undertaking many other works like highways, port, sector. Also, work is in progress. So we are hoping for the next three years, our 50% of revenue will be from the railway works, which is INR 40,000. And 50% of our revenue will be from our bidding works, whether from Vande Bharat or from BharatNet, from highways, and other railway sectors. So we are hoping that 50%, 50% revenue will be from each sector. Okay. So what's the total revenue guidance that you may give for, let's say, this year? This year, you said it will be flat, but how does 2027 look like, FY 2027? There will be definitely sustainable growth. We are targeting growth of between about 10% per financial year. We will achieve it because our order book is very strong, and the industry is also showing signs of a lot of infrastructure works coming up. We are talking to many states, public sectors to take up work on MOU basis. We are very hopeful that we will achieve 10% growth in our top line and bottom line too. How would you guide on the margins? You did say that because of the bidding-based orders, there would be some amount of pressure on the margins. So where would we end up on the EBITDA margin this financial year, 2026? And based on the mix that you're projecting, 50%-50%, next year, what could be the margin that one can expect? Margins, as you know, there are two revenue streams we have. One is railway, which have a very good profit stream. Biddings, we definitely are getting works on competition basis. Sometimes the margins are less than high. On an average, we will definitely get an EBITDA margin of 7%. Okay. So let's say around 7% margin somewhere in this financial year. And on the turnover, let's say maybe this year you ended close to INR 20,000 crore, and 10% over that is what you're guiding for next year? Yes. All right, sir. Also, maybe one just last thing on the railway projects. So are you seeing sort of any pickup in the railway EPC projects? The budget did talk about some new Dedicated Freight Corridor-related works and certain other city connectivity high-speed rail projects as well, some six or seven cities. So any perspective that you can share on how the railway projects seem to be shaping up over the next 12 months or so? The railway ministry is spending huge money on the infrastructure. In addition to that, a lot of other works are also coming up, which your company bids for, like metros, highways. Future is good for next 2 years-3 years. As I just said, we are hoping to increase our revenue by 10%. Even the profit margins will be slightly better because, as I earlier told you, it was a transition phase for us, for your company, from nomination basis to bidding. I think things are improving and we'll be getting better margins in our bidding projects also. Accordingly, we are bidding so that we get good margins. Okay. All right, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. A reminder to all the participants, you may press star and one to ask question. The next follow-up question is from the line of Vishal from PL Capital. Please go ahead. Yeah, yeah, thanks for the follow-up again, sir. Sir, on the previous participant, Ashish, when he asked on the margin, so just a clarification, 7% EBITDA margin, this includes other income, or how do you see that number, sir? The gross margin. Good afternoon. Basically, sir talked about gross margin. If you see in this quarter, though our turnover has decreased compared to quarter two, but we have improved in gross margin. Almost by 50 basis point-60 basis point, we have improved in gross margin. So with cost cutting, better improvement in our execution, quality, we are going to achieve this 7% gross margin next year. Okay, okay, okay. Sure, sir. Sure, sir. Sure. And maybe, I mean, can you elaborate, can you provide the order book breakdown that you mentioned, say central, state, private, how this number can be for us, sir? Good afternoon, Vishal. Our orders are from various diverse sectors. Railway is still our core. Railway orders comprises of around 45% of our total orders. Then road sector, we have got around 10% of our total orders. Electrical sector, where we have got a diverse mix of orders from basically RDSS, which are basically revamped distribution support system in four states, and transmission line and railway electrification works, they comprises of around 15%. And signaling and telecom work, which includes railway telecom work, signaling work, as well as the BharatNet projects, they comprises of around 15% of our order book. And around 7% order book is from our mechanical sector, which includes our share in Vande Bharat and some of the workshop projects. And besides that, we have got an order book of around INR 3,500 crore from international projects. Okay, okay. So is it fair to say barring electrical, most of the projects, they are from the central government side? Is that fair to say? Yeah, most of our projects barring the Revamp Distribution Support systems, they are from basically central government. Working for national highway and railways, major. And metros. Metro is also important, sir. Okay, okay. Sure, sir. Thank you very much for all the answers, sir. I'll come back in the queue. Thank you. Thank you. A reminder to all the participants, you may press star and one to ask questions. Participants, may press star and one to ask questions. Is there an overview question from the participants? We'll conclude the call. On behalf of PL Capital, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us, and you may now disconnect your lines. Thank you. Thank you.
