The company’s consolidated revenue from operations, however, rose 15 per cent YoY to Rs 694 crore in Q1 from Rs 603 crore a year earlier, driven by sustained execution momentum across renewable energy portfolio and a higher contribution from its core business verticals.

Ebitda for the quarter rose 21 per cent to Rs 262 crore, with Ebitda for the quarter coming in at 37 per cent against 35 per cent YoY. Ebitda was aided by greater operating scale, favourable operating leverage and disciplined cost management, KPI Green said.
