Sandeep Garg, managing director (MD) of Welspun Enterprises, said, “FY24 has been a year of consolidation, where we have acquired and successfully integrated Welspun Michigan (erstwhile Michigan Engineers) with WEL. The standalone revenue has been subdued, due to some challenges on the existing projects and delayed order receipts, however, we have surpassed our margin guidance. On a consolidated basis, we have grown revenues by 4%, with EBITDA growth of 58%. This consolidated performance is an outcome of strategic diversification, and efficient deployment of capital that followed from our asset sale in FY23.”
In its outlook Welspun Ent said, “We start FY25 with the highest ever standalone opening order book of ₹ 12,200 crores, a clear reflection of WEL’s diversification strategy and our meticulous approach to order selection. This includes yet another prestigious treatment plant at Bhandup Complex, which will ensure potable drinking water for the citizens of Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Our subsidiary Welspun Michigan Engineers Ltd. has an opening order book of ~₹ 1,600 crores. This makes our consolidated order book a formidable ₹ 14,200 crores, which is over 4 times our consolidated revenue for FY24. Our sustained efforts to enhance operational efficiencies have led to improvement of our consolidated execution and profitability.
Our bid pipeline both in Water and Transportation segments is robust. We currently have bid for 5 road projects, results of which are awaited. Going forward, NHAI has announced bids worth Rs 2 lakh crore (5000km) in BOT Toll projects apart from bids in HAM & EPC worth Rs 50,000 crore. In water segment we see opportunities of over Rs 3 lakh crore across distribution, transmission & treatment, of which Rs 66,000 crore may be bid out in FY25, while the rest may spill over to FY26. Welspun Michigan order pipeline is very healthy with foreseeable opportunities of Rs 50,000 crore across tunneling and other adjacencies. We will judiciously bid for selective projects; thus we maintain a bullish outlook on further order inflows.”
