Protean eGov Reports 75% Profit Decline Despite 19% Revenue Growth in Q1 FY27
Protean eGov Technologies reported a 75% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 6 crore for Q1 FY27, despite a 19% increase in revenue to approximately Rs 251 crore. The profit drop and margin compression to 10% were attributed to upfront investments of about Rs 18 crore in strategic projects and higher procurement costs due to geopolitical tensions. These projects are in the deployment phase, delaying steady revenue generation. Excluding these costs, EBITDA margin would be higher at 17.2%.
