Welspun Michigan Engineers Limited (WMEL), a subsidiary of Welspun Enterprises, has secured a Rs. 79.29 crore order from Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) for the rehabilitation of a 1,800 mm drainage line in West Zone, Vadodara, Gujarat.

The company’s consolidated order book currently stands at Rs. 14,500 crores, with Rs. 9,300 crores from water projects, Rs. 1,950 crores from tunneling, and Rs. 1,750 crores from transportation. By the end of FY25, the order book is expected to grow to Rs. 15,000-20,000 crores.

The management expects to finish FY25 with a consolidated EBITDA of about Rs. 700 crores, aiming for an EBITDA margin of around 19 percent. They also project annual revenue growth of 15 percent to 20 percent over the next three years, though growth may be slower due to recent delays in order inflows.
