The company’s strong balance sheet supports its growth plans. Operating cash flow of Rs 13,327 crore in H1 funded investments of Rs 10,521 crore. Net debt-to-EBITDA stood at 1.8x despite a capex of Rs 30,346 crore over the past two years, while the cash balance remained robust at Rs 12,502 crore.

Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director & CEO said the company’s ability to execute at scale with financial prudence enables it to pursue ambitious growth while leveraging balance-sheet strength and compounding cash flows.

“Against this backdrop, Q2FY27 was another stellar quarter. Domestic Ports continue to anchor our earnings, while International Ports, Logistics and Marine are emerging as powerful growth engines. Reflecting strong H1 performance, we are upgrading our FY27 guidance across revenue, EBITDA and capex,” Gupta added.
