KEC International Limited reported robust revenue growth of 11.58% year-over-year in Q4 2023, reaching INR 55.25 billion. The significant revenue increase was driven by higher project execution rates across multiple sectors, notably in power transmission and railways, despite facing challenges in gross profitability, which declined 24.06% YoY due to rising material costs and labor shortages. Net income surged by 110.25% YoY to INR 0.72 billion, reflective of effective cost management and operational efficiencies.
Management highlighted key initiatives, including expansion into new markets and diversification of service offerings, which are set to bolster growth. Investors should note the slight compression in margins but remain optimistic about long-term growth potential as the company capitalizes on increased infrastructure spending and transformative projects in the energy sector.
