Will Praj Industries’ Strong Order Book Fuel a Bioenergy-Led Comeback?
About Praj Industries
Praj Industries Ltd is a global leader in bioenergy, process engineering, and wastewater treatment solutions. Headquartered in Pune, the company operates across three key verticals — Bioenergy, Engineering, and Process & Water Solutions (PHS). With over 1,000 references across 100 countries, Praj remains a pioneer in renewable fuels like ethanol, compressed biogas, and sustainable aviation fuel.
The company’s Q2FY26 performance highlights stable revenue but lower profits due to deferred tax adjustments. Nonetheless, Praj’s healthy order backlog and sustained global demand for low-carbon technologies position it favorably for FY26–27.
Financial Highlights (Q2 FY26)
| Metric | Q2 FY26 | YoY | H1 FY26 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹842 Cr | +3% | ₹1,488 Cr |
| EBITDA | ₹296 Mn | -60% | ₹392 Mn |
| PAT | ₹193 Mn | -64% | ₹246 Mn |
| Order Backlog | ₹4,420 Cr | Stable | ₹8,100 Cr Order Intake |
Revenue growth was supported by higher execution in the bioenergy and water treatment segments. However, profitability declined due to a temporary slowdown in certain international projects and higher deferred tax expenses.
