The performance of IVRCL Ltd has been adversely impacted with the company posting a loss of ₹171.68 crore for the third quarter ended December 31, 2014, as against a loss of ₹177.69 crore for the corresponding quarter last year.

The total income from operations for the third quarter slipped significantly to ₹644.87 crore as against ₹956.16 crore for the same period last year, due to slower pace of project implementation.

For the nine months period ended December 31, 2014, the company registered a loss of ₹517.15 crore and income of ₹2,089.87 core as against a loss of ₹388.67 crore and income of ₹3,087.68 crore for the corresponding period last year.
