Company Overview

Akash Infra-Projects Limited, originally incorporated as "Akash Infra Private Limited" on May 14, 1999, in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, transitioned to a Public Limited Company on September 27, 2016, becoming "Akash Infra Projects Limited." Founded by Shri Yoginkumar H. Patel and Shri Ambusinh P. Gol, the company was established to undertake significant government contracts for road construction and related works.

Akash Infra-Projects operates as a mid-cap infrastructure and civil construction firm, primarily focusing on government contracts within Gujarat. As of April 30, 2025, the company's market capitalization stood at ₹46.07 Cr. Trading under the symbol "AKASH" on the NSE, it has carved out a niche in regional infrastructure development.

Business Operations and Infrastructure

The company is engaged in civil construction activities, undertaking various government contracts for the construction, resurfacing, widening, and repair of roads and bridges. These projects are predominantly secured through tender bidding from State Government Departments, Municipal Corporations, and Local Bodies within Gujarat. Beyond road construction, Akash Infra-Projects also undertakes projects for the development of commercial complexes, hotels, and hospitals.

To support its operations, the company maintains strategically located manufacturing facilities across Gujarat. These include bitumen material mix facilities (Hot Mix Batch and Drum Mix plants) at seven locations: Khoraj (Gandhinagar), Gyaspur (Ahmedabad), Dahegam (Gandhinagar), Derol (Himmatnagar), Khavad (Kadi Taluka), Bechharaji, and Antrolivas (Talod Taluka). Additionally, it possesses CC paver manufacturing facilities at Khoraj and Dahegam.

Financial Performance and Market Position

The company's financial performance presents a mixed outlook. Akash Infra Projects reported an operating revenue of ₹52.99 Cr on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis. While annual revenue showed a de-growth of -1% and a pre-tax margin of 1%, both areas require improvement. The Return on Equity (ROE) of 0% is also noted as poor and needing enhancement. However, positive recent quarterly performance includes a significant net profit jump of 102.8% year-on-year, reaching ₹0.06 Cr in Q3 FY2024-2025.
