Other income of Rs 4.14 cr also contributed to pre-tax profit of Rs 23.29 cr, while the tax rate was 24.23%.
Finance and depreciation were the main bridge below operating profit
Interest of Rs 11.26 cr and depreciation of Rs 10.94 cr were the principal charges between operating profit and pre-tax profit. Net profit was Rs 17.64 cr, with EPS of Rs 1.44. The available quarter does not include a year-on-year or sequential comparison, so the direction of margins and earnings cannot be assessed here.
Management is adding steel-component capacity and entering signalling EPC
Management said the steel girder and component facility, which began with capacity of 10,000 MTPA, is being enhanced to 15,000 MTPA. The company said the proposed Alcon merger would provide entry into signalling EPC and expand its railway-infrastructure presence, using Alcon's technical workforce and established ecosystem. Management also said GPT secured a Rs 484 cr bridge contract over the River Mahanadi and described the Rs 5,373 cr order book as providing growth visibility.
