Industry overview

Agriculture and allied activities form an integral part of the Indian economy and currently, around 18% of India’s Gross Value Added (GVA) is contributed by this sector. India, possessing around 4% of the world’s water resources supports a population of 1.4 billion. Limited water resources for agricultural activities, coupled with erratic monsoons and change in weather patterns, intensifies the need for efficient irrigation practices so as to ensure reduction of water stress in the country. Furthermore, this has resulted in irrigation systems becoming critical in maximizing agricultural output and ensuring food security for the nation. The disparity between availability of water and the actual demand for it necessitates innovation and sustainable management practices in the agricultural sector.

The agricultural sector of India employs an estimated around 45% of India’s workforce and comprises an estimated around 15% of India’s GVA, making itself pivotal to the economy. However, traditional farming methods often yield less efficiency and productivity. This led the Government of India (GoI) to bring about the fourth agricultural revolution known as Agriculture 4.0. This initiative aims to improve yield quality and precision, while minimizing environmental damage, leading to more efficient and sustainable farming methods. Despite recent global headwinds, the sector has shown resilience and has even been a driving force to boost the economy forward. During the First Five Year Plan, India had 74 major and 143 medium irrigation projects. This number increased significantly with the government taking up 406 major, 1135 medium and 259 ERM schemes during FY1951 to FY2012 (end of XI Plan). 231 major, 880 medium and 122 ERM projects have been recorded as completed by end of XI Plan.

The irrigation sector forms the backbone of India’s agricultural landscape, playing a crucial role in ensuring food security, improving climate resilience, and stabilising farm incomes. Strengthening this sector through the development of robust infrastructure, modernisation of irrigation systems, and the promotion of sustainable water management is essential to enhance productivity. To achieve this, the Government of India has introduced several targeted programmes and schemes that encourage the adoption of water-efficient irrigation practices. The flagship scheme, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY), has been central to this effort by improving irrigation coverage, promoting innovative techniques, and providing financial support for sustainable practices. Within this framework, the Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) initiative, which has been implemented under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) since 2022–23, focuses on strengthening and incentivising micro-irrigation projects. Together, these initiatives aim to expand cultivable areas with reliable water access, enhance water use efficiency, and modernise irrigation methods, ultimately making farming more sustainable and resilient.

Risks and concerns

Significant dependence on top ten customers, primarily state and central government departments: The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from operations from its top ten customers which are primarily state and central government departments and thus it is majorly dependent on these state and central government departments. Revenue from its top ten customers comprise a significant portion of its revenue from operations i.e. 72.30% for Fiscal 2026, 84.10% for the Fiscal 2025, and 82.76% for the Fiscal 2024. Any failure to maintain its relationship with these customers, any adverse changes affecting their financial condition or the loss of any of its customers will have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Geographical concentration in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh: Its operations are geographically concentrated in the states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Its revenue from operations from Gujarat accounted for 39.64%, 35.52% and 10.97% in Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Its revenue from operations from Madhya Pradesh accounted for 36.58%, 45.41% and 66.03% in Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This concentration of its projects in the states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh heightens its exposure to adverse developments related to regulatory, political, as well as economic, demographic and other changes in the respective states of as well as the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, which may adversely affect business, results of operations and financial condition in the respective states.

High dependence on Jal Jeevan Mission for order book: A significant portion of its order book is derived from Jal Jeevan Mission projects. For Fiscal 2026, projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission constituted 19.54% of its total Order Book, amounting to Rs 15,550.07 million. Further, for Fiscals 2025, and 2024, projects awarded under the Jal Jeevan Mission constituted Rs 20,411.49 million, and Rs 28,053.98 million of its total order book, amounting to 25.90%, and 44.75% respectively. Any adverse changes in policy, funding, or implementation of this mission could lead to delays, cancellations, or reduced opportunities, which may negatively impact its business, results of operations, and financial condition. Further, its dependency on the Jal Jeevan Mission exposes it to concentration risks both in terms of geography and customer profile. A decline in the scale of the scheme or reduced participation by states could materially impact its revenues, cash flows and overall financial performance.

Dependence on customers for land acquisition and statutory clearances: Its infrastructure projects, particularly those related to irrigation and water supply, often require significant land acquisition and may impact local communities, which can lead to resistance and opposition. The construction and operation of its projects may face opposition from local communities and special interest groups, which can result in delays or disruptions. Key challenges include delays in the acquisition of private land, securing rights of way, eviction of encroachments, and obtaining environmental clearances, which are typically the responsibility of its customers. A failure by its customers to acquire the necessary land free of encumbrances and on time can cause significant project delays, cost overruns, or even force it to alter or abandon projects altogether. Any significant delays in the completion of its projects on account of the aforementioned factors could lead to the termination of its contracts, cost overruns, or claims for damages, which could have an adverse effect on its cash flows, business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, these issues can lead to disputes and crossclaims for liquidated damages between it and its customers.
