Jyoti Structures Ltd Q3 FY26 – ₹214 Cr Quarterly Revenue, ₹1,800+ Cr Order Book, But ROCE Still at 1.6%: Revival Story or Just Electrical Noise?


1. At a Glance – The Shock, The Awe, The Confusion

Jyoti Structures Ltd is that old Bollywood actor who disappeared for a decade, returned with a beard, gym body, and says “main badal gaya hoon.” Incorporated in 1974, once a respected power transmission EPC name, then brutally wrecked by debt, NCLT drama, and working-capital hell, Jyoti is now back on the stock market stage with ₹214 Cr Q3 FY26 revenue, ₹17 Cr quarterly PAT, and an order book north of ₹1,800 Cr.

Sounds spicy? Wait.

  • Market Cap: ₹1,082 Cr
  • Stock Price: ₹9.06
  • 3-Month Return: -34% (investors clearly not convinced yet)
  • Sales (TTM): ₹680 Cr
  • PAT (TTM): ₹49.8 Cr
  • Debt: ₹1,958 Cr (yes, still heavy)
  • ROCE: 1.61% (this number needs therapy)
  • Debt to Equity: 3.85x (bankers still sitting on the chest)

Yet… Q3 sales up 52% YoY, profit up 48% YoY, execution improving, plants restarting, HVDC orders flowing in.

So what is this?
A genuine turnaround… or just a high-voltage illusion?

Let’s put on the auditor glasses and open the fuse box.


2. Introduction – Once Burnt, Twice Wired

If Indian infrastructure had a list of “companies that went through hell and came back with scars,” Jyoti Structures Limited would feature prominently.

This company has lived three lives:

  1. Pre-2016: Aggressive EPC expansion, global projects, debt-fueled growth
  2. 2017–2021: Total financial collapse, NCLT, massive write-offs, negative net worth
  3. Post Resolution: Rights issue, lender haircuts, business restart, slow crawl to profitability

Now in FY26, Jyoti is again building 765 kV and ±800 kV HVDC transmission lines, supplying towers, executing turnkey EPC, and testing towers for global clients.

But don’t clap yet.

This is still a working-capital monster business, margins are thin, receivables are insane, and ROCE is embarrassing for an EPC company.

So the real question is not “Is Jyoti growing?”
The real question is: Can Jyoti convert orders into

cash without blowing a fuse again?


3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?

Jyoti Structures is basically an electricity highway contractor.

If power is the blood of the economy, Jyoti builds the arteries.

Their 6 Core Verticals (Explained Like You’re Lazy but Smart)

  1. Transmission Lines (66 kV to 800 kV)
    High-voltage towers, conductor stringing, foundations, full EPC. This is the main money spinner.
  2. HVDC Projects (±800 kV)
    Ultra-high voltage, long-distance power evacuation. Fewer players, higher technical entry barrier, better credibility if executed well.
  3. Substations (Up to 765 kV)
    Design, engineering, erection, testing, commissioning. Sticky business but cash flows come late.
  4. Tower Manufacturing
    Nashik plants manufacture EHV towers, telecom towers, substation structures.
  5. Tower Testing (Ghoti R&D Centre)
    This is underrated. Over 450 towers tested up to 1200 kV. International-grade facility. High credibility, decent margins.
  6. Rural Electrification
    Distribution lines, poles, substations, village electrification. Volume business, low margins.

Client list check:
PGCIL, Adani, Vedanta, ReNew, Torrent, Apraava – no random uncle companies here.

So business model = technically strong, execution-heavy, cash-flow risky EPC.

Question for you: Technical excellence hai, par paisa time pe milega?
