NCC Limited reported a decline in quarterly profit despite posting marginal revenue growth for the March-ended quarter of fiscal 2026. The infrastructure and construction major said its consolidated net profit fell 18.9% year-on-year to Rs 206 crore, compared to Rs 254 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The company disclosed its financial results through a stock exchange filing on Friday.

The company’s revenue from operations rose 1.7% year-on-year to Rs 6,233 crore, up from Rs 6,131 crore reported during the same quarter last year. However, operating performance remained under pressure, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) declining 1.1% to Rs 550 crore from Rs 556 crore a year earlier. EBITDA margin also narrowed to 8.8% from 9.1%, indicating higher cost pressures and weaker operational efficiency during the quarter.

Alongside its earnings announcement, NCC Limited declared a dividend of Rs 2.20 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26. The company fixed August 14, 2026, as the record date to determine shareholder eligibility for the dividend payout. The proposed dividend, however, remains subject to shareholder approval at the company’s upcoming annual general meeting scheduled for August 27, 2026.

Market participants closely track the company’s quarterly performance due to its significant exposure to government and public-sector infrastructure spending, which continues to play a major role in India’s economic growth and capital expenditure cycle.
