Parikshit Kandpal
CFA, HDFC Securities Limited

Thank you, Ashish. Without taking any further time, I would like to hand the floor to Ajendra ji for his opening remarks. Over to you, sir. Thank you.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Thank you, Parikshit ji. Ladies and gentlemen, a very good afternoon. I welcome you all to the Earnings Call of G R Infraprojects Limited for Q1 of Financial Year 2026. Let me introduce the leadership team present on this call. We have with us Mr. Anand Rathi, the Group CFO, and Mr. Ankit Maheshwari, the Deputy CFO of the company. First, let me provide the key highlights on our Q1 performance, followed by recent developments in the infrastructure sector, and then by issues and administration. Revenue from operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 stood at INR 1,826.14 crores as against INR 1,896.54 crores in the corresponding period in the previous financial year. The EBITDA margin, excluding other income for the current quarter, stood at 12.65% as against 13% in the corresponding period in the previous financial year.

During the quarter, the company has repaid the debt of INR 137 crores, which has resulted in an improved debt/equity ratio to 0.04, which is one of the best in the sector. During July 2025, the company has been declared L1 for one road EPC project of INR 245 crores. As of today, three road projects of INR 4,500 crores approximately are having L1 status. As of date, the order book stood at INR 23,700 crores approximately. As of the date, the company has 24 projects of INR 15,000 crores approximately under execution. As of date, one DBFOT project spanning across Rajasthan, UP, and MP of INR 3,700 crores approximately is awaiting appointed date. As of date, we have bids of INR 7,300 crores approximately which are yet to be opened. It constitutes two highways, two railways, and one power transmission and distribution project.

Moving on to sector highlights and infrastructure development of India.

For the past few years, the bid awarding has been a bit slow. However, based on recent announcements, we expect that in the near term the pace of bids will be enhanced. For the road sector, NHAI plans to open bids of INR 340,000 crores in the current financial year. The combined length of these upcoming projects is estimated at 6,300 km. NHAI has also released its first-ever asset monetization strategy for the road sector. The strategy covers a period from 2025 to 2030 and focuses on mobilizing capital to ToT, transfer to infrastructure investment trusts, and securitization models. The strategy is aligned with India's second national monetization pipeline, which targets INR 10 trillion or $117 billion over five years from monetizing infrastructure assets across the sector. The road sector is expected to contribute INR 3.5 trillion or $41 billion of this total.

In railway and metro, also, we see a strong pipeline of INR 96,000 crores approximately. Recently, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved four major railway projects of INR 11,169 crores approximately. The power transmission sector is also expected to attract a significant amount of investment. We see a pipeline of INR 54,000 crores approximately. For hydro and tunnel, the government is drawing a plan to build a tunnel project worth INR 2.5-3 lakh crores over the next 10 years as part of the country's infrastructure development. In the current financial year, we see the pipeline of INR 40,000 crores approximately. We will continue our strategy of diversifying and balancing our portfolio across various markets and sectors to achieve strong order books and growth in the current financial year. Our strong team and focus on our project delivery will continue to drive our success.

That's all from my side. Over to Ankit ji for the updated financial position of the company. Thank you.

Ankit Maheshwari
Deputy CFO, G R Infraprojects Limited

Thank you, sir. I would be presenting now the three highlights of Q1 financial performance. The company's standalone revenue from operations was INR 1,826 crores approximately in the quarter ended June 2025, which has decreased by 3.7% year over year compared to INR 1,896 crores approximately in the quarter ended June 2024. The decrease was primarily on account of new projects, the execution of which started in Q1 of financial year 26. The company's consolidated revenue from operations was INR 1,988 crores approximately in the quarter ended June 2025, which has decreased by 2% approximately year over year compared to INR 2,030 crores in the quarter ended June 2024. The standalone EBITDA margin stood at 12.65% in the quarter ended June 2025. It was 13% in the quarter ended June 2024.

Profit after tax at standalone level increased to INR 1,216 crores approximately in the quarter ended June 25 compared to INR 152 crores in the quarter ended June 24. Profit after tax at consolidated level also increased to INR 244 crores approximately in the quarter ended June 25 as compared to INR 156 crores in the quarter ended June 24.

The total standalone borrowings outstanding at the end of fiscal 2025 is INR 364 crores approximately, with debt to equity of 0.04 times. The total consolidated borrowing outstanding at the end of fiscal 2025 is INR 5,371 crores, with debt to equity of 0.61 times.

The balance of promoter contributions required to be made for the operational HAM or BOT projects is INR 2,637 crores approximately, of which we are expecting a contribution of INR 800 crores in the fiscal year 2026.

The working capital in days at the end of June 2025 is 121 days as compared to 117 days at the end of fiscal 2025. This increase was primarily on account of an increase in inventory days for the power transmission, distribution, and road-based projects. The paid receivables at the standalone basis are INR 1,745.6 crores, including INR 1,583 crores HAM debtors at the end of June 2025.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Hi, sir. Yeah, thank you for the opportunity. My first question is, the recent changes to the HAM bidding criteria and NHAI's target of about INR 3.4 trillion bidding in FY 2026, what is your take on it? I mean, will the competition reduce? What will be your target on the ordering flow front?

Parikshit Kandpal
CFA, HDFC Securities Limited

[Foreign language]

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Understood. Sir, and this business target of INR 3.4 trillion, what is your take on it? I mean, will this completely be bid out, or will it be seen as some lower number than INR 3.4 trillion?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

[Foreign language]

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Understood. So the second question is on order inflow for the quarter. As per the calculation, it is coming out to be about INR 2,000 crores. We understand that L1 to LOA will be worth about INR 1,000 crores. What are the balance 1,000-odd crores?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yeah. So we have one railway project of INR 222 crores approximately. And then we have the O&M contracts, which we were not showing separately earlier, but now we have added those of approximately INR 500 crores. And there are some change-of-scope items of approximately INR 30 crores.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Understood. Thank you, sir. Those are my questions. I'll join the queue again now.

Operator

Thank you. Before we take the next question, this is a reminder for all the participants. If you wish to ask a question, you may press star and one on your touchtone telephone. The next question is from the line of Mohit Kumar from ICICI Securities Limited. Please go ahead, sir.

Mohit Kumar
Equity Analyst, ICICI Securities Limited

Yeah, good afternoon, sir, and thanks for the opportunity. Sir, what is the progress on Agra-Gwalior BOT project? Can you speak to the project handed over to us, especially if you can touch on the land acquisition part? What is the progress?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

This is the land acquisition. [Foreign language]

Mohit Kumar
Equity Analyst, ICICI Securities Limited

Sir, so expect the next seven months by the end of [Foreign language] right, sir?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

[Foreign language], so. Fiscal year tak late tak, sir? March 26 [Foreign language] ? No, no, sir. Land acquisition almost complete hai. It is more than 98% or 99% land acquisition already. And we are expecting ki iska financial closure will be getting in the current month, and probably will be able to start execution on this project, maybe in the month of November or December, right?

Mohit Kumar
Equity Analyst, ICICI Securities Limited

Okay.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

So on day one, I mean, for current year, the progress is not that much high, but yes, that will be starting execution on this project in the current year, sir.

Mohit Kumar
Equity Analyst, ICICI Securities Limited

How do you think about your revenue now for FY 2026? Is it possible to get 15% growth, or [Foreign] ?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

हमारे को लगता है, because एक तो क्या हुआ कि that monsoon इस क्वार्टर में थोड़ा जल्दी आ गया। I mean, that monsoon started at the end of May itself, right? तो थोड़ा ये क्वार्टर में effect है। But otherwise, because we have been degrowing for the last two years, right, तो थोड़ा अपने को लगता है कि we'll be having this year, we'll be having growth of 10% at least, or maybe 15%। तो उतना issue नहीं है। And now most of the orders, right, that all are under execution. I mean, we have received the appointed date even latest. Last May, in the month of June also, or July was that last HAM project, we have received the appointed date. So all the projects are now under operation, right? They all are under construction.

So it gives us some confidence that we'll be getting, you know, more than 10% kind of growth for the current year.

Mohit Kumar
Equity Analyst, ICICI Securities Limited

My last question on this, sir, order processing जो ट्रांसमिशन में है, how is it looking like? And do we have a target in mind कि ये साल इतना करना है, ये साल जब छापा आ जाए, तो मुझे ट्रांसमिशन से ही लेके आना है?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yes, so current year our order intake from transmission is in the range of INR 3,000-4,000 crore, and given the pipeline, we are hopeful that we'll be able to get this kind of growth.

Mohit Kumar
Equity Analyst, ICICI Securities Limited

Okay. Understood, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you. That's it from my side. Thank you.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Thank you, man.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Balasubramaniam from Arihant Capital Markets Limited. Please go ahead, sir.

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

Thank you so much for the opportunities. So my first question is, we transferred nine HAM assets to InvIT. What is the strategy for future monetization? Are there any contingent liabilities from indemnities provided to the InvIT? This is my first question, sir.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

So last question which I could ask is basically, if there is any contingent liability while we are transferring, right, those assets to InvIT? That was the last question. But before that, you also asked some different questions, right, which I didn't get exactly. Now, with respect to that contingent liability, contingent liability is what we have seen in the past sometimes because of change of scope, because the project is not complete on, you know, even if we are getting COD. And on a later date, let's say NHAI is coming up with a solution that, okay, they would be de-scoping, then there may be chances that project value, project value which we have estimated, right, while transferring that project to InvIT, may get revised. Because change of scope, order would be finalized only at that point of time.

So to that extent, that project value or the project value may be revised, and my compensation accordingly will be, you know, get revision, maybe on higher side or maybe on lower side. That depends on case-to-case basis. It depends on the project which we are transferring, right? And sometimes there is a change, you know, with respect to that escalation or indicators or something like this. To that extent, yes, of course, we are having that contingent liability carry forward. But otherwise, there is no contingent liability basically while we are transferring any assets.

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

So under first part, we transferred nine HAM assets to InvIT Trust. So what is the strategy for future monetization?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

See, our strategy is to transfer to, you know, trust only as and when the project will be completed. Ultimately, because we don't want to be, you know, or we don't want to hold generally. That's not our, I would say, role to hold those assets for a longer period. That's how, and that's why, I mean, we started with this idea of creating infrastructure. So the idea would be transferring those assets to trust only.

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

Okay. Sir, on the industry side, some industry regulatory side, the new performance security rules are aggressive, which may impact margins. So how are we adjusting our bidding strategies?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

With respect to highway, you are saying?

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

Yes, sir.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

See, highway. I mean, there is huge competition so far which we have seen in the past, and hence we are not able to get much projects except in the last two and a half years, we have got one BOT project. Otherwise, we are not able to get any project. We are going by our own strategy that we will not be bidding to, you know, that low. I mean, we will not be unless until we'll be making net plus. I mean, we are not making any. I mean, we don't want to lose basically while taking any highway project, right? So that is our strategy, one piece. Second, what we believe is that they have come up with a good amount of projects, right, so far which they have created or DPR is being prepared by them or land is being acquired by them.

And now they have come up with, you know, so they have tightened that qualification criteria as well, both on technical terms as well as the financial terms. So going forward, what we believe is that maybe next couple of months that competition would be coming down, and we'll be able to get, you know, a decent share of those projects which will be bidded in the current year on decent margin. I won't say that there would be a good margin, high margin, but yes, of course, we'll be able to maintain our margin while getting those projects.

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

Okay, sir. Sir, on the BharatNet OFC project side, and I think margins are around more than 10%. I think how many circles are yet to be awarded, and how can we look at in these segments in terms of business opportunity?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

I think out of 16 projects they have bidded, they have awarded 13 projects. Three more projects are yet to be, or they have come up with, you know, they have come up with revised biddings, right? And there also will be participating. But what I believe is once we are, you know, starting execution on the project on this BharatNet, we'll be taking or we'll be exploring more business opportunities in this sector as well. So the idea is to get some comfort on this particular sector, and we'll be getting more comfort. We'll be doing more projects. And yearly target, I would say, would be in the range of at least to start with 1,200 to 1,500 per month.

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

Got it, sir. Thank you.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Participants, if you wish to ask a question, you may press star and one on your touchstone telephone. The next question in line is from Shelly Jain from Dolat Capital. Please go ahead, ma'am.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Hi, good afternoon, sir. Thank you for the opportunity. Sir, how much indemnity are we expected to receive in FY 26? Hello? Hello?

Operator

Ma'am, you are audible. Give me one minute. I'm checking if the management is online. Ladies and gentlemen, the line for the management has disconnected, but we are working on getting them back. Please stay on hold, please. We have the management online reconnected. Miss Shelly, you could go ahead with your question, please.

Parikshit Kandpal

Hello?

Operator

Miss Shelly Jain?

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Hi, am I audible?

Operator

Yes, ma'am, please go ahead.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Yes. Hi, sir. Good afternoon. Thanks for the opportunity. I was asking how much indemnity are we expected to receive for FY 26, and how much did we get for Q1?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

No, no, sir. Voice is not that clear. So come again with your question. Hello?

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Is this better, sir?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yeah.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Yeah. I was asking how much indemnity are we expected to receive for FY 2026?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

For interim dividend, what?

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Yes, yes, yes.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

InvIT, they are targeting almost 12% kind of, you know, return, right, on year basis, which is comprised of dividend and interest, right? So depending on the balance sheet of that SPV, those amounts, those crores would be either distributed through dividend or interest. So what we have been given guidance is that almost 12, 12 and a half % would be the kind of, and that amount comes to in the range of 230-240 crore. All right?

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Okay.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

250 or we'll be getting in the form of interest.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

For Q1, sir?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Q1, we have received almost INR 40 crore.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Okay. INR 40 crore. And sir, what would be the retention money and consolidated number for Q1?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Retention is 4.63. Retention is INR 4.63 crore. INR 5 crore approximately. Yeah, INR 5 crore approximately retention is, and consolidated. You are saying consolidated?

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Yes.

Yes, sir.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

One minute. I think it is in the range of INR 350-odd crore.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Okay.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Consolidated data is approximately INR 214 crores for the quarter end.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Okay. INR 214 crores. And sir, for our equity requirement, what would be the - sorry?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yeah, yeah, please. Go ahead.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Yeah. I was asking for our equity requirement, how much are we going to invest in the next nine months and FY 2027?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

So as of date, our outstanding equity commitment is around 2,700 crore, 2,600 crore. And current year, we have almost invested so far 300 crore. We're expecting another 700-800 crore in the current year and balance in the next two years. So again, in the range of 1,000-odd crore on a yearly basis.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Understood, sir, and how are we looking for 2026 and 2027?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

26, we have already mentioned that it would be in the range of 12-13%. And 27, I don't believe, I don't think that there would be any, you know, extraordinary shift in the margin metrics. If we are able to get a good amount of projects, certainly we can expect that if we are able to get good growth, also more than 20%, then certainly our margin would be improved. But otherwise, more or less in the range of 12-13% or 15%. That would be the main range.

Shailly Jain
Associate Research Analyst, Dolat Capital

Understood, sir. Thank you. That answers my question. Thank you.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Abhinav from ICICI Securities Limited. Please go ahead, sir.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Yeah. Thanks for the opportunity again. Sir, as you just mentioned, you know, if you are looking for growth more than 20%, then the margins could also improve. So just on the order inflow front, given the good pipeline and growth as well as now transmission as well, what is the order inflow growth we can see for 2026 as well as 2027, FY 2027?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

See, current year, we have targeted for order inflow of around 22,000 crores, right? And of course, I mean, depending on if we'll be able to get those kind of orders, which we believe because of the pipeline which we can see.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

So INR 22,000 crores will be order book, right?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Order.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Target.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Intake. Order intake for the current year.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Okay.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Right? So this is the current year target, order intake target. And next year, it would be in the range of INR 30,000 crore, I mean, depending on that government plan and all that, right? And so for FY 27, yes, we'll be able to get, I mean, if things go as per our wish, then we'll be, you know, back on the track of, you know, having 20% plus kind of growth in terms of top line.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Understood. So given this INR 22,000 crores and INR 30,000 crores of order inflow target, then, I mean, the revenues will easily cross 15% estimate, right, given the execution remains the same as it has been historically.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

So it may not be on 27 basis, but 28, I mean, because we are in the range of INR 7,000 crore for the current year, right? INR 7,000-INR 8,000 crore. And then generally, we are getting more BOT projects than those projects are, you know, getting started, coming to execution only after the gap of one year, right?

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Okay.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Almost 10-12, so maybe 28, of course, will be with this kind of top line you can see.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

So for 27, you'll see again 10%-15% of growth, right?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

For 27 years, of course, we can be more than 15%. Yeah, 20%, 15%, 20%.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Okay. So last question is on the under-construction projects. Are we facing any challenges in execution from, you know, land availability perspective? Historically, we've seen that some of the projects have got extension of time.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yeah. So whatever project which are under execution, because land is not 100%, I would say. So what right now we are facing in terms of challenges in execution is that presently it is monsoon, right? There is a huge rain which is, you know, we can witness across the country. And then maybe what we believe is that existing projects, of course, there are challenges in terms of the land. So far, 100% land, we haven't got that land. But because of, and that's how we are also, you know, interpreting that government. So far, we haven't come with the various projects. Reason being there, they are collating the land piece at least and get that forest clearances on hand beforehand, before, you know, bidding and all that. So going forward, whatever project we'll be getting, maybe they won't be. We'll be finding any land sort of issue.

But yes, of course, Abhi, there is intermittently these issues are there, right, with respect to land acquisition, land availability, and all that, right? It again depends on case-to-case basis, not in each and every project. As we mentioned, in Agra-Gwalior, there is almost more than 98% land is already being acquired, right, and that project was live for the last two years, so that's how, I mean, there is no challenge in terms of land acquisition for those projects.

Abhinav Nalawade
Senior Equity Associate Research, ICICI Securities Limited

Understood, sir. Thank you and all the best.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Mr. Shravan from Dolat Capital. Please go ahead, sir.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

Hi, sir. Thank you. Sir, sorry. Actually, I joined late. I had another call. Just wanted to check, sir. You mentioned just now that for this year, we are looking at 22,000 crore order inflow and next year around 30,000 odd crore inflow. So if you can break up, so pardon me if you have already said that, then no need to repeat. Otherwise, if you can share in terms of the breakup, what we are looking at and in terms of the pipeline from NHAI side, how currently it is, pipeline is, and in terms of BOT, HAM, and EPC. So where we are looking at the order, such a large order?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

So yeah, I mean, that INR 22,000 crore of order intake, in fact, we have mentioned at last call also that that would be the largely 14-15 thousand crore would be coming from transport sector, which would be highway, railway, metro. Then there would be hydro and tunneling projects in the range of INR 2,500-3,000 crore. And then there would be transmission project, transmission and ropeways, which would be in the range of INR 4,000-4,500. And then other sector, which includes, you know, telecom and other projects, which is in the range of INR 500,000 crore projects, right? So these are the general breakup. And when we talk about it, it's almost, I would say, 66% is again coming from highway or transportation sector, I would say, where pipeline is big, huge pipeline is there in particularly highway.

Government has already declared their plan to, you know, come for bidding for almost INR 3.5 lakh crores of the project, which probably we believe in the current year may be in the range of INR 2-2.5 lakh crores. Railway, there is a good pipeline. Railway, metro, there are a good amount of projects which we believe that will be coming going forward and we would be getting our order intake commitment fulfilled, right? With respect to the order intake for next year, it is by and large. So far, we haven't deep dive into it, but that's we believe that while, you know, taking our growth targets into mind, we'll be having this kind of order intake going forward. Accordingly, we are working on this, right? I think I have given you the answer of your question.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

Yeah, got it. So sir, this INR 22,000 crore also includes the INR 4,200 crore, INR 300 crore L1 that we are, and when we are likely to get the appointed date for that?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

See, INR 22,000 crore is a fresh one. And it will always be a pipeline because there won't be, you know, because generally there would be some project which will always be there in the L1 status, I mean. So that those L1 projects, which right now are, you know, we can see into L1 status, may get converted into that from order. And then out of the INR 22,000 crore, again, we may have INR 4,000-5,000 crore projects, which will at that point of time might be having that, you know, showing the L1 status. So that is the continuity. I mean, that's the continuous process, right? And so yes, of course, to answer your question, it is a fresh new orders which we are targeting, which is in the range of INR 22,000 crore.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

This current one, INR 4,300 crore L1, when we will be getting the appointed date?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yes. So these are the L1. First, we have to receive the LOA. These, they are basically two projects.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

Two projects.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Two projects are there, which are actually L1, which is from Maharashtra government, right? And so we are also waiting for them to be, you know, converted into firm order. Maybe not into monsoon season, but what I believe that we'll be able to get that project, you know, converted into firm order in the month of October and we'll be able to start in the month of January. Yeah.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

Okay. And then when we talk about the NHAI 2.5 lakh crore also, is it possible to share broadly whatever the pipeline is, 40%-50%, is it the HAM and how much is the BOT projects? And are we also looking one or two more BOT toll projects?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yes, yes. So we are looking for, yes, of course, more BOT projects and to the extent because the list is out. And what I believe is almost out of, feel like 50,000 crore of the orders, 60 or 70,000 crore is from basically in BOT toll model. And then around BOT toll is what?

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

1.7 under HAM.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

1.7.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

1.7.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

So 50,000 is basically BOT toll. 50 and 50 or 70.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

70,000 crore.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

70,000 crore. INR 70,000 is basically so there is a list which is, I mean, they have clearly mentioned, they have clearly spelled out what would be the project which they would be awarded under BOT and under HAM and all that, right? So there would be EPC as well. So EPC.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

45,000.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

50,000 crore is in EPC and balance is in HAM. This is the breakup.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

Okay. No, that point is just wanted to because for last almost two years, hope is there, but in terms of there is a delay from NHAI side. So in short, I just wanted a kind of a reassurance from your side that are we confident that this time, this number, what we are talking, INR 2-3 lakh crore, will that get awarded this year?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

No. So in past two years, what we have seen is NHAI was giving kind of assurance that, okay, they would be bidding this number of the project and all that. This time, they have come up with detailed list of the projects. They have already identified these are the corridors, these are the projects which they are going to bid, right? Which gives us some sense or some confidence that, okay, they have done some sort of homework while announcing, you know, these number of biddings and all that. And hence, we are also getting comfort, basically, what NHAI is basically claiming in those kind of statements.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

Okay, okay. Whatever the changes in terms of the qualification, in terms of the net worth criteria and everything, do we think that will it lead to a lower competition and maybe we can get a slightly higher margin?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

See, that is quite certain that the competition would be coming down, right, because of that network criteria or technical, you know, criteria which they have introduced. Now, with respect to margin, because see, what we believe is that maybe you can see improvement in margin not in the current year and may not be next year as well because, see, there are people who are willing to get, I mean, because for last two years, we haven't received any order, HAM order, right? So we are eager to get those kind of projects. And we may not increase our margin expectation on day one, but yes, as and when my order book is getting, you know, fulfilled, I would be certainly increasing my margin expectation. So this ultimately will result into my actual margin realization only in the year FY 28, I would rather say.

Shravan Shah
Director Research, Dolat Capital

Okay. And lastly, sir, what if you can repeat for okay. No issues. Thank you.

Operator

Parth Thakkar
Equity Research Associate, JM Financials

Okay. Hi, sir. So you mentioned that the outstanding equity requirement is of INR 2,600 crore. So does that include the BOT project as well?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yes, correct.

Parth Thakkar
Equity Research Associate, JM Financials

Okay. And when can we expect the LOA for our two MSRDC projects, Pune Ring Road package E6 and Nagpur Chandrapur 2?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yes. So as Anandji just mentioned, by end of quarter three, we expect the date, and hopefully, by January, we should kickstart the project.

Parth Thakkar
Equity Research Associate, JM Financials

What would be the execution that we can expect in the last quarter?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Out of those two projects, you are saying?

Parth Thakkar
Equity Research Associate, JM Financials

Yeah. Yeah, out of those two projects.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Initially, in the first quarter, we can't generally, in our experience, it is not more than 5%. 3%-5% is the first quarter progress.

Parth Thakkar
Equity Research Associate, JM Financials

Okay. And the last question, sir, what is the total overall bid pipeline, including every, like tunnel, hydro, power, T&D, and road? Total overall bid pipeline?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Total bid pipeline, as we mentioned, is approximately INR 22,000 crores for the current financial year, and it includes around INR 14,000-INR 15,000 crores.

Parth Thakkar
Equity Research Associate, JM Financials

No, no, that is right? Are you saying order inflow? I'm not asking order inflow. The total bid pipeline.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

You are asking the order pipeline, correct?

Parth Thakkar
Equity Research Associate, JM Financials

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

So the pipeline for the highway sector is approximately INR 3.4 lakh crore.

Parth Thakkar
Equity Research Associate, JM Financials

Okay. Okay. Thank you. That was all my questions.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Mr. Amit Vora from The Homeopathic Clinic. Please go ahead, sir.

Amit Vora
Analyst, The Homeopathic Clinic

Hello. Yeah, my question has been almost all my questions have been answered. If the management can just give some industry clarity for next two or three years.

Industry clarity?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Industry में, sir, अभी जो जिस तरह से पिछले दो साल में तो थोड़ा bit slow रहा industry में. लेकिन अभी जिस तरह से NHAI पूरी pipeline show की है project की, INR 3.4 lakh crore के projects आ रहे हैं, जैसे BOT, HAM और EPC सभी मिला के. अपने लिए जो pipeline, जैसे अभी पहले भी question किया, तो मैं ये बताना चाहता हूं कि अपना करीब-करीब जो highway में जो focus है, अपने pipeline है, वो करीब 1.5 lakh crore रुपये का है. इसी तरह से railway में करीब 20,000 crore है, power transmission में करीब 20,000 crore rupees है, metro में 22,000 crore rupees है. Different में pipelines में काफी अच्छी pipelines बनी हुई है. और अगर final time में hope कर रहे हैं कि decent projects इनमें आने चाहिए और हम लोग decent state हमारे मतलब इसमें winning ratio रहना चाहिए.

Amit Vora
Analyst, The Homeopathic Clinic

aapka matlab hai humne INR 1.5 lakh crore ke liye bidding kiya hai for highways aur.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

नहीं, नहीं.

Amit Vora
Analyst, The Homeopathic Clinic

So you are talking about the overall order, matlab from the government side.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

ये pipeline में है अभी जो हम bid करने वाले हैं.

Amit Vora
Analyst, The Homeopathic Clinic

अच्छा, आप bid करने वाले हैं.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

करने वाले हैं.

Amit Vora
Analyst, The Homeopathic Clinic

तो हमारा total bidding around कितने का होगा? मतलब 60,000 crore, 1 lakh crores.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

ये मैं जो highway की जो total INR 3.4 lakh crore है, उसमें से अपने जो focus pipeline उसको मानता हूं, उसको INR 1.4 lakh crore मानता हूं. Total pipeline में जो highway का जो NHAI ने किया है, INR 3.4 lakh crore का project.

Amit Vora
Analyst, The Homeopathic Clinic

Okay.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Aur apna jo target banta hai, kyunki uske andar kaafi EPC bhi small projects bhi honge, unko hum apne focus mein nahi rakh rahe hain. Hum log INR 140,000 crore ka target kar rahe hain.

Amit Vora
Analyst, The Homeopathic Clinic

सर, overall दो-तीन साल में एक अच्छा रहेगा ये construction, मतलब EPC और HAM.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

निश्चित तौर पे रहना चाहिए.

Amit Vora
Analyst, The Homeopathic Clinic

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Vasudev from Nuvama. Please go ahead.

Vasudev Ganatra
Research Associate, Nuvama Group

Yes, thank you for the opportunity. Sir, just two-three really small questions. What is the CapEx that we're planning for the full year?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

It is in the range of INR 100 crore.

Vasudev Ganatra
Research Associate, Nuvama Group

Okay. And sir, on the monetization front, can we expect any new asset to be transferred to the InvIT this year?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Yeah, of course. Our target is to, as in when project is getting complete, right? Maybe after six months or 12 months or depending on. So it actually gives some flexibility to us also, I mean, whenever, because what we have seen in past that not much cash requirement is there on the balance sheet, so we may delay. I mean, to that extent, we can play, but yes, of course, idea is to ultimately transfer it to InvIT only, right?

Vasudev Ganatra
Research Associate, Nuvama Group

Okay. And sir, out of this INR 22,000 crores of order inflows that we are expecting for the full year, how much have you already received in Q1?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Out of this 22,000, so far we have received INR 25 lakh crore, including transfer.

Vasudev Ganatra
Research Associate, Nuvama Group

25 lakh crore. Okay. Sure. So that's it from my side.

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you.

Participants, if you wish to ask a question, please press star and one on your touchtone telephone.

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

Yeah, I think Ashish has no further questions. So just I have one question from my side. So just on the T&D piece, so आपने बोला कि this year we are targeting 3-4 thousand, I think 3.5, 4 thousand crores of order inflows. And you already started with the pilot a few years back and you have ramped up the order book to 100-1,300 crores. So on the backend side, on the supply chain side, how do you think this opportunity will play out? Is it going to be only standalone captive projects or are you looking to do more projects for other direct clients like power grid and other developers of TBCV? So how do we read into this and growth plans for this vertical?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

So far, I mean, our target is to basically go more captive only because the capacity so far we have built is, I think, would be sufficient enough. Or I mean, there is no scope. I believe that there won't be any much scope left with us if we have to go outside our captive project. So idea is to either, let's say if we are getting more projects, we can target even INR 5,000 crores of TBCV projects or transmission projects, but we would like to do in-house, I mean, for our own projects.

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

So that in-house capability, I mean, as you keep developing, you get qualified on the higher HV rating with 400 or 765, which can be used to monetize in third-party direct orders. So any plans in the near future, mid to long term, that outside the captive book, which is more equity intensive, you'll also look to do third-party EPC orders where also you set up your tower capacity and conductor capacity. So any thought there?

Ajendra Kumar Agrawal
Chairman and Managing Director, G R Infraprojects Limited

No. So yes, of course. I mean, see, point is we are already in discussion with various, I mean, we are exploring other options also where though we have been executing captive projects and where we will start doing monetization discussion and all that of those projects. So ultimately, what we have shown or what we have basically demonstrated in highway sector where we'll be bidding for BOT projects, and ultimately it will end up basically as EPC for us. So yes, of course, I mean, first we want to fully utilize those kind of synergies. And then certainly, maybe if we'll be having more capacity left with us, we'll be certainly looking for third-party projects.

Balasubramanian A
Senior Equity Research Analyst, Arihant Capital Markets Limited

Okay. Sure, sir. Thank you. I think there are no further questions. I'd like to thank the management for giving us the opportunity to hold this call. And sir, any last comments you'd like to give before we close the call?

Operator
