GPT Infraprojects shares jump over 7% after Q1 net profit surges 82% YoY to Rs 30 crore
Shares of GPT Infraprojects Ltd rallied 7.35% to ₹138.73 on Monday following the announcement of a strong first-quarter performance. The stock surged from a previous close of ₹129.23, touching an intraday high of ₹140.90, pushing its market capitalization to ₹1,721 crore.
The company reported an 81.7% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to ₹30 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to ₹16.5 crore in the year-ago quarter. Revenue from operations climbed 29.3% YoY to ₹312.6 crore, driven by strong execution in the infrastructure segment, which contributed ₹299.6 crore or 92% of total revenue.
However, the EBITDA margin slipped slightly to 12% from 13.2% a year earlier due to changes in segmental mix and rising input costs. The sleeper segment contributed ₹10.2 crore, with muted performance in African operations offset by strength in Indian markets.
GPT Infra's order book stands at ₹3,569 crore, with ₹396 crore in new inflows this year. The company also announced its first interim dividend of Re 1 per share, with August 11, 2025, as the record date.

Trump raises tariffs on India to 50 percent
Advertisement 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits,' he posted on his social media platform Monday. 'They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA.' US companies have scrambled to avoid the new costs of import taxes. Apple on Wednesday afternoon announced a fresh $100 billion investment in domestic manufacturing in an attempt to divert production of critical components for data centers and consumer electronics away from countries targeted by Trump's trade war. The company had already shifted some production of iPhones destined for US markets from China to India. Advertisement Trump has long held that imposing taxes on trade will improve the nation's grim finances and rebalance relationships with foreign nations that he says are taking advantage of the US. He has also used tariffs in recent weeks to try to accomplish foreign policy objectives, dangling threats of new trade barriers to stop skirmishes between Thailand and Cambodia. But consumers often ultimately pay for tariffs through higher prices, even if some of the costs are spread throughout the supply chain. And there are many nations with which the US must trade to secure goods that can't be made or grown at home. Some economists worry that Trump's new trade policy could cause the economy to shrink and rupture certain alliances that domestic producers have relied upon to manufacture cheap goods. Randhir Jaiswal, a spokesman for India's Ministry of External Affairs, wrote in a social media post Wednesday that it was 'extremely unfortunate that the U.S. should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest.' He added that India believes 'these actions are unfair, unjustified and unreasonable,' and that purchases of Russian oil were 'based on market factors.' India is the United States' 12th-largest trading partner; the two countries have exchanged $78.4 billion in goods from Jan. 1 through June, according to federal data. India also has an informal economic alliance with Russia as part of the BRICS bloc of nations, a group that also includes Brazil, China, and South Africa. Those nations have brought some of Trump's most difficult negotiations over tariffs. The White House has announced frameworks of trade deals with close to a dozen of the country's largest commercial partners. But the administration does not have an arrangement with China, instead extending a temporary truce as talks continue. And Trump imposed 50 percent tariffs on Brazil over the country's anti-corruption investigation into former president Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally of Trump's. Advertisement Trump and Indian Prime Minister Nerendra Modi appeared in recent weeks to be close to their own agreement, but divisions remain on barriers surrounding US agricultural and dairy exports and India's relationship with Russia. New Delhi watchers had hoped that Trump's relationship with Modi would clear remaining obstacles to that deal. Trump in his first term hosted a massive 'Howdy Modi!' rally for the Indian leader in Houston. Modi in 2020 reciprocated with a 'Namaste Trump' rally in Ahmedabad, India. Under former president Joe Biden, the US government was more economically lenient toward India than other nations that maintained ties with Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, and the two nations have worked closely to counter Chinese influence in parts of Asia. Modi was one of the first foreign leaders to visit Trump, announcing plans for new defense and energy partnerships. In June, Trump accepted an invitation from the prime minister to visit India for the next summit of Quad leaders, a four-nation security group comprising the United States, India, Australia, and Japan. But recently Trump has sought deeper ties with Pakistan, India's top rival, even attempting — via social media — to broker a solution between the two countries on the long-disputed Kashmir region. 'The good news is we do have some level of reservoir of goodwill that we've built up, but we are spending that rapidly right now, with the day-to-day antagonism of India, which appears to be focused mainly on getting this trade agreement across the finish line,' said Richard Rossow, the chair on India and emerging Asia economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Advertisement Trump's stance on Russian oil puts New Delhi in a predicament. India has been the top buyer of Russian crude oil since 2023, importing 89 million tons last year, according to data compiled by the shipping data tracking company Kpler. Russian crude accounts for 38 percent of India's oil imports, Kpler data showed. 'I don't care what India does with Russia,' Trump posted on Truth Social last week. 'They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.' India also receives 36 percent of its military arms imports from Russia, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, though that dipped from 72 percent between 2010 to 2014.
