EMS Limited, an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) specialist in water and wastewater infrastructure, announced its financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2026. Consolidated net profit rose 51.3% year-on-year to ₹23.42 crore compared to ₹15.48 crore in Q2 FY26, driven by higher execution velocity in municipal sewage treatment and water supply schemes across northern India.
What Happened
Consolidated revenue from operations for Q2 FY27 increased 23.6% YoY to ₹194.0 crore (₹1.94 billion) compared to ₹157.0 crore in the prior-year period. Operational EBITDA rose 38.1% YoY to ₹35.96 crore from ₹26.04 crore, with EBITDA margins expanding by 195 basis points to 18.55% against 16.60% in Q2 FY26. Improved margins were attributed to higher in-house execution, captive equipment deployment, and favorable raw material contracts.
Q2 FY27 Financial Snapshot
| Financial Metric | Q2 FY27 | Q2 FY26 | YoY Growth (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | ₹194.0 Cr | ₹157.0 Cr | +23.6% |
| Operating EBITDA | ₹35.96 Cr | ₹26.04 Cr | +38.1% |
| EBITDA Margin (%) | 18.55% | 16.60% | +195 bps |
| Profit After Tax (PAT) | ₹23.42 Cr | ₹15.48 Cr | +51.3% |
| Net Profit Margin (%) | 12.07% | 9.86% | +221 bps |
| Confirmed Order Book | ₹3,152.78 Cr | ₹2,389.40 Cr | +31.9% |
The company's executable order book stood at ₹3,152.78 crore as of September 30, 2026, inclusive of long-term Operations & Maintenance (O&M) contracts. This represents an order-to-sales ratio of over 4.5x based on FY26 revenues, providing long-term revenue visibility.
Order Pipeline & Municipal Traction
During the quarter and subsequent weeks, EMS emerged as the lowest bidder (L1) for a major Delhi Jal Board sewer network project in Tikri Kalan valued at ₹1,582.86 crore (inclusive of GST). Additional inflows were secured in Rajasthan (₹218.65 crore) and Uttar Pradesh under the state urban development agency for decentralized water purification plants.
O&M contracts accounted for roughly 22% of the aggregate order book, providing recurring, high-margin revenue streams once municipal infrastructure enters operational phases.
Independent TradeKaizen Analysis & Key Risks
TradeKaizen Analysis: EMS Limited continues to benefit from steady government capital expenditure under the Jal Jeevan Mission and AMRUT 2.0 urban infrastructure programs. The expansion of EBITDA margin to 18.55% demonstrates operational discipline uncommon among small-cap EPC peers. The L1 position in the ₹1,582 crore Delhi Jal Board contract could significantly expand the order book once formally awarded.
Key risks include working capital delays from municipal state agencies, monsoon-related execution slowdowns in outdoor civil works, and raw material volatility in ductile iron and PVC piping.
