1. Opening Hook

If you thought government projects move slower than the Delhi Metro at rush hour, NBCC just proved you wrong—they actually moved, a bit. With an order book fatter than a Bollywood wedding buffet and MoUs flying around like confetti, Q1FY26 was classic PSU theatre: big numbers, bigger promises, and a side-order of “seed money pending.” Stick around, because NBCC’s saga has more twists than a daily soap.

2. At a Glance

• Revenue ₹2,391 Cr (Consol), +12% YoY – Execution didn’t nap entirely.
• PAT ₹135 Cr (Consol), +26% YoY – PSU profits doing cardio, rare sighting.

• EBITDA Margin 6%+ – PSU optimism: they’re calling this “target.”
• Cash in Hand ₹460 Cr – But still waiting on others’ seed money.
