EIL targets growth through diversification
EIL is targeting 10% revenue growth in FY27 while seeking to maintain operating margins in the 14-16% range. Gupta had earlier said the company expected order inflows to accelerate over the remaining quarters of FY27, with the first quarter typically being a weaker period for order bookings.
The Navratna public sector engineering consultancy is also looking to diversify beyond its traditional oil and gas business into areas including metals, nuclear energy, infrastructure, data centres, fertilisers and maritime projects.
The company expects its healthy order book and execution pipeline to support growth through the year.EIL’s consultancy business accounted for a larger share of revenue in the April-June quarter, while the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) segment saw a temporary decline as some projects approached completion.
Gupta had said the revenue mix, typically around 55% consultancy and 45% EPC, was expected to normalise in the subsequent quarters. The company also expects to sustain its EBITDA margins despite a recovery in the EPC contribution.
International business
EIL’s international business was temporarily affected by geopolitical tensions in West Asia, although the company secured around ₹500 crore of orders from the region in the April-June quarter.
Gupta had said the company expected activity from major West Asia customers, including Saudi Aramco and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), to improve as infrastructure projects resume. Opportunities include pipeline, terminal and energy infrastructure projects.
Shares of the company ended more than 1% higher at ₹267 on Friday, ahead of the press conference. The stock has risen about 32% so far in 2026.
