About Gannon Dunkerley

Gannon Dunkerley and Company Limited was incorporated on 11 March 1924 and is one of India's oldest construction firms. It executes large engineering, procurement and construction contracts — civil and industrial structures, irrigation and hydro projects, water-treatment plants on a turnkey basis, highways, railways, bridges, flyovers and metro work — and runs a pre-stressed concrete sleeper plant at Rayagada, Odisha for the railways.

The Mehta family (Parag C. Mehta) controls the company, which has a paid-up capital of ₹2.7 Cr — about 27 lakh shares of ₹10 — so every ₹10 Cr of profit is roughly ₹37 of earnings per share. FY25 revenue was in the ₹750–1,000 Cr band but fell about 12% year on year while EBITDA nearly halved, according to registry summaries.

The figures below are estimates built around those disclosures: revenue of roughly ₹840 Cr in FY25 after ₹950 Cr in FY24, with margins compressing. Net worth is put at about ₹280 Cr, so the ₹1,266 quote is close to book value.

Figures preliminary; verify from MCA filings. The FY24 annual report circulates on dealer sites; FY25 line items here are reconstructed and should be checked against the AOC-4.

What works

  • Hundred-year track record with pre-qualifications across civil, industrial, water, rail and metro work.
  • Small share count and a low-leverage balance sheet (borrowings down 14% in FY25) give a book value near the dealer price.
  • Captive sleeper factory at Rayagada adds a recurring product line alongside contracting.

What to watch

  • FY25 revenue fell about 12% and EBITDA about 47%; contracting margins are thin and volatile.
  • Working-capital-heavy business exposed to client payment delays and retention money on government projects.
  • Family-controlled unlisted company: disclosure is limited to the annual report and dealers set the price (bid ₹1,050 / ask ₹1,266).
  • FY25 line items on this page are estimates until the audited accounts are read.
