Contract 1 Sep 2025 – 31 Dec 2026 · 30 days from milestone invoice · retention 5%
Profitable on paper, but this project has consumed ₹70.0 L of cash: ₹11.03 Cr of its earnings are still in unbilled work, bills and retention.
Expected profit at completion, what borrowing costs it, and how that changes if payments slip. Realised, forecast and illustrative amounts are kept apart.
Profit bridge — financing lens
= gross profit to date ₹6.03 Cr + remaining work ₹12.49 Cr × planned 18% margin
Opportunity lens Alternative lens
Return forgone at 12% on amounts collected after their due dates: ₹9.9 L to date + ₹6.0 L forecast. Profit on this lens: ₹8.12 Cr (17.7%). It replaces — never adds to — the borrowing view.
The baseline margin already includes direct costs (materials, subcontract, site payroll, equipment). It excludes financing, head-office overheads and company term-loan interest, so the deductions above are not double counted. Retention is timing, not cost.
