1. At a Glance
K&R Rail Engineering posted a meek ₹0.57 Cr PAT in Q1 FY26 — an 82% drop YoY. Revenues down 38%, margins barely hanging at 1.82%. But hey, the company is now debt free. Unfortunately, profits are also nearly free.
2. Introduction with Hook
Imagine a railway EPC company that once had a ₹500 share price and now trades under ₹70.
No, this isn’t a joke — it’s K&R Rail Engineering, a specialist in private railway sidings, electrification, and infrastructure projects.
- Q1 FY26 Revenue: ₹88 Cr (vs ₹240 Cr in Q4 FY25!)
- Q1 PAT: ₹0.57 Cr
- ROCE: 10%, but stock down 86% in 1 year
From hyper-growth to hyper-worry — welcome to India’s most niche infra player.
3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
Core focus:
