Mr. Vimal Kejriwal, MD & CEO, KEC International Ltd. commented, “We have delivered a robust growth in
revenues. The growth is backed by good performances in T&D, Civil and Oil & Gas businesses. While our EBITDA
margins have shown a sequential improvement, they have been impacted primarily due to execution of legacy
projects with adverse commodity prices and performance of SAE Brazil. With the closure of last EPC project in
Brazil, we are confident of a gradual revival in the performance of SAE in the quarters to come. We continue to
witness a good traction in order intake. With the new orders announced yesterday, our order book along with
current L1 pipeline stands at a record level of over Rs. 35,000 crore. Most of these orders have been secured at
current commodity prices and logistics costs. Our robust and well diversified order book gives us confidence of
concluding the year with a healthy growth.”
