PNC Infratech on Wednesday, November 12, reported a sharp 158.5% year-on-year (YoY) surge in net profit to ₹215.7 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to ₹83.4 crore in the same period last year. The strong profit growth came despite a 21% drop in revenue to ₹1,127 crore from ₹1,427 crore.

EBITDA fell 29.1% YoY to ₹252.6 crore, while the EBITDA margin narrowed by 260 basis points to 22.4% from 25% a year earlier, reflecting cost pressures amid lower project execution.
