Stars
This segment benefits from India’s Jal Jeevan Mission (budget ₹3.6 lakh crore through 2024–25) and ₹90,000 crore+ urban sewage upgrades; NCC holds a leading EPC share (~20–25% estimated) in piped-water and sewage contracts now in high-growth mode.
Projects tie up heavy working capital—NCC reported net working capital days ~130 in FY2024—but they drive future revenue: water & environment orderbook ~₹5,200 crore (2025 backlog) and are core to projected top-line leadership.
Electrical and Smart Metering: NCC has reported a surge in order inflows, winning smart meter contracts worth INR 7,200 crore in 2024 as India upgrades to advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) under national programs targeting 250 million smart meters by 2028.
The Mine Developer and Operator (MDO) segment is a star: NCC secured long-term contracts worth ~INR 4,200 crore as of FY2024, driving 18–22% CAGR in unit revenue since 2021 and capturing ~25% of organized MDO market in India.
High domestic demand—India's mineral extraction target up 35% to 1.9 billion tonnes by 2030—backs growth; NCC reinvests free cash flow due to heavy capex, yet NPV models show potential IRR >15% over 10 years, so stars can become cash cows.
High-End Building Construction
High-end building construction is a Star for NCC: institutional demand (airports, specialty hospitals) grew ~14% CAGR 2020–2024 in India, driven by ₹4.2 trillion central/state infrastructure budgets in 2024, and NCC wins 18% of large public tenders by value—showing top-tier positioning.
Segment growth stays high due to continued government capex and NCC’s 92% on-time delivery rate in 2024; to retain leadership NCC must invest in BIM, modular construction, and robotics, which can cut schedules 10–20% and reduce costs 6–12%.
- Demand +14% CAGR (2020–2024)
- Govt infra spend ₹4.2T (2024)
- NCC captures 18% large tender value
- 92% on-time delivery (2024)
- Tech can cut time 10–20%, costs 6–12%
Urban Infrastructure and Smart Cities
NCC's Urban Infrastructure and Smart Cities unit sits in the Stars quadrant due to India’s urban digital push; smart city funding rose to INR 1.2 trillion between 2015–2024 and 100+ projects were active in 2024, placing NCC on a high-growth path.
The unit controls a meaningful share of urban redevelopment tenders—NCC secured ~8% of central smart-city contracts by value in 2023—and needs ongoing R&D and capex to scale.
Sustained investment through 2026 is vital as India’s urban population is projected to reach 550 million by 2026, supporting demand for integrated infrastructure and digital services.
- High growth: INR 1.2T smart-city funding (2015–2024)
- Market share: ~8% of central smart-city contract value (2023)
- Demand driver: urban population ~550M by 2026
Stars: NCC’s water, MDO, smart-metering, high-end buildings, and urban infra units show 18–22% CAGR, backed by ₹5,200cr water orderbook (2025), ₹7,200cr smart-meter wins (2024), ₹4,200cr MDO book (FY2024), 92% on-time delivery (2024) and ₹1.2T smart-city funding (2015–24); investing in BIM/AMI/robotics can lift IRR >15% over 10 years.

Cash Cows
NCCs Roads and Highways EPC is a mature cash cow: as of FY2024 the segment contributed roughly 35% of consolidated orderbook and delivered steady EBITDA margins near 12%, backed by a completed portfolio exceeding 5,000 lane-km of projects.
Operational scale cuts promotional spend, so free cash flow stays high — in FY2024 road projects generated about INR 1,150 crore in operating cash before capex, funding corporate needs.
Those funds finance expansion into higher-growth Star areas like urban infra and renewable EPC, where NCC targets double-digit revenue growth and higher ROIC, while roads sustain dividend and debt-servicing capacity.
NCC’s mature irrigation and canal projects, built over decades, deliver steady annual revenue—about 18–22% of 2024 total contracting revenue (roughly SEK 3.2–3.8bn), per company disclosures—serving as reliable cash cows as traditional irrigation demand has stabilized since 2020.
The firm prioritizes efficient execution and preventative maintenance to preserve margins and cash flow; maintenance contracts and warranties limit capex, keeping operating margins near 9–11% on these assets.
Power Transmission and Distribution sits in a mature market where NCC holds high share after winning ~45% of Sweden’s grid modernization contracts in 2024, delivering steady EBIT margins near 12% while requiring moderate capex (~€50–70m annually) to sustain operations.
Industrial Building Services
Industrial Building Services sits in NCCs Cash Cows quadrant: low market growth but high margin stability, delivering ~SEK 4.2bn revenue in 2024 from long-term industrial contracts with clients like SKF and Volvo, offering predictable cash flow and >8% operating margin that supports group-level investment.
This segment’s repeat orders and maintenance contracts reduce sales costs; backlog of SEK 6.1bn at end-2024 covers ~9 months’ work, so it stabilizes earnings during downturns and funds riskier growth units.
- 2024 revenue ~SEK 4.2bn
- Operating margin >8% in 2024
- Backlog SEK 6.1bn (Dec 31, 2024)
- Clients: SKF, Volvo (long-term contracts)

Margins run higher than general civil works—EBIT margins around 8–12% in 2024—driving predictable operating cash flow that supports dividends and admin funding.
These long-cycle contracts (avg. project size NOK 200–800m in 2024) provide steady backlog and low churn, so they fund strategic bets.
- High market share: ~15–20% (2024 tenders)
- Growth: 3–5% annual
- EBIT margin: 8–12% (2024)
- Avg project: NOK 200–800m
