State-owned construction major NBCC has generated Rs 1,045 crore through the sale of residential units linked to stalled Amrapali Group projects, marking a significant milestone in the long-running resolution process. The transaction reflects steady progress in unlocking value from distressed real estate assets while offering relief to homebuyers and creditors. Conducted under court supervision, the monetisation drive underscores NBCC’s expanding role as both a project management consultant and a recovery facilitator.

Infrastructure major KNR Constructions has exited four road development projects, indicating a strategic shift amid evolving market conditions and project execution challenges. The move reflects a broader trend among construction companies to reassess asset-heavy and capital-intensive ventures in favor of improving balance-sheet strength and return metrics. While the exits may have near-term revenue implications, analysts view the decision as a prudent step toward risk management and capital discipline.

Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms in India are expected to register a 9–11% revenue expansion in FY26, according to a recent assessment by Crisil. The growth projection is underpinned by a robust pipeline of government infrastructure projects, particularly in roads, railways, and urban development, as well as sustained capital expenditure by the private sector.

State-owned construction major NBCC (India) Ltd. posted a strong 26% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit for the first quarter of FY25, reaching Rs. 135 crore. The growth was driven by higher revenue from ongoing projects, improved operational efficiency, and a steady flow of new contracts. Revenue from operations climbed to Rs. 2,200 crore, reflecting robust demand in the infrastructure and real estate development sectors.
