Railway account for around 10% in non power space in 9 mths ended Dec 18.

Revenue booking will start from April 19 onwards for the Sarva Sikhsha Abhiyan project and will be completed in 22 months. The Rs 1300 crore of orders for building schools and other infrastructure from AP government is funded by Central Government. Being an AP company, the government wanted a local company to undertake the prestigious contract. The terms of payment are very lucrative. 40% is given as upfront support from Central Government backed by Nabard, 10% as advance at 6.5% and rest the company has to manage. PowerMech has kept an internal margin of around 25-30% in this project. So funding requirements and margins are very much in control of the company.

No major capex aimed going forward.
