“Denta Water Posts Strong FY2025 Margins Despite Revenue Dip; Eyes Growth with ₹6,143 Cr Order Book”

Denta Water Reports Strong FY2025 Performance with Margin Growth and Strategic Expansion

Healthy Profitability and Robust Order Book Signal Long-Term Growth

Bengaluru, May 29, 2025 – Denta Water and Infra Solutions Limited, a leading civil engineering contractor specializing in water infrastructure, announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, showcasing resilient profitability and strategic advancements despite minor revenue fluctuations.

The company reported a revenue of ₹2,032.85 million for FY2025, with a slight dip attributed to project execution cycles and billing adjustments. However, improved cost efficiency and operational discipline drove significant margin expansion, reinforcing the strength of its core business.

Margin Expansion Highlights Financial Resilience

Denta Water’s EBITDA for the year stood at ₹724.32 million, reflecting an impressive margin of 35.63%, up from the previous year. Profit After Tax (PAT) also rose to ₹528.85 million, with a PAT margin of 26.02%, compared to 25.34% in FY2024.

The margin improvement was achieved despite temporary delays in revenue recognition due to late procurement of specialized materials, particularly in Q4. Management expects these deferred revenues to materialize in the first half of FY2026.

In the fourth quarter alone, the company reported revenue of ₹541.52 million and a PAT of ₹137.20 million, demonstrating sustained profitability amid billing adjustments.
