DFM-listed Drake & Scull International (DSI) announced on Tuesday that it has secured 1.4 billion UAE dirhams ($381 million) worth of new projects in the first half of 2025. These include a landmark AED 1 billion contract in the UAE, the AED 215 million North Balqa Wastewater Treatment Plant in Jordan, and a AED 169 million water treatment facility in Maharashtra, India.

DSI posted a 57 percent year-on-year revenue increase of AED 77.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. Gross profit rose 59 percent to AED 5.9 million, while net profit stood at AED 6.5 million, compared with AED 3.8 billion in H1 2024, when results were boosted by a one-off restructuring gain. General and administrative expenses rose to AED 24.5 million from AED 21.2 million due to higher legal, professional, and business development costs. Total assets were AED 629.5 million at the end of June, slightly lower than year-end 2024, while total equity increased to AED 158.4 million. Cash and bank balances stood at AED 309.2 million.
