Rating Status and Financial Overview

| Long Term Rating | BBB+ | Stable |
| Short Term Rating | A2 | N/A |
Key Financial Indicators and Performance
The rating rationale highlighted several strengths, including the promoters' decade-long experience in the civil construction industry and a healthy order book that ensures revenue visibility over the medium term. The company has expanded its presence beyond the civil segment into water infrastructure, civic utilities, mining, and transportation over the past two fiscal years.Financial stability metrics have improved. Net worth increased to upwards of Rs 398 Crore as on March 31, 2026.
A comparison of key financial indicators shows a positive trend:
| Metric | Fiscal Year 2026 | Fiscal Year 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Income | Rs 835.56 crore | Rs 538.27 crore |
| Reported Profit After Tax (PAT) | Rs 76.17 crore | Rs 32.42 crore |
| PAT Margins | 9.12% | 6.02% |
The company's capital structure is reflected by a gearing ratio of 1.24 times as on March 31, 2026, compared to 0.21 time in the previous year. Debt protection metrics remain comfortable, with interest coverage and net cash accruals reported at 11.71 times.
Operational Considerations
While the rating was reaffirmed positively, CRISIL also noted certain operational challenges. The company’s operations remain working capital intensive, evidenced by Gross current asset (GCA) days standing at 320 as on March 31, 2026, up from 138 days in March 2025. This was attributed to an increase in debtor days from 87 days to 147 days, driven by higher revenue and the consolidation of KTL operations post-March 2026.GIL operates in a tender-driven industry with low entry barriers, leading to heightened competitive intensity which may pressure operating margins. This risk is partially mitigated by the group’s diversified presence across multiple business segments.
