The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board at its meeting held on July 31, 2026. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 34 (Ind AS 34) and reviewed by M/s B S R & Co.

The standalone and consolidated figures are identical as there were no transactions in the subsidiary during the period ended June 30, 2026.
Segment Performance
Electrification remained the largest revenue contributor, reporting sales of ₹1,804.35 crore for the quarter, up from ₹1,378.55 crore in the corresponding period last year. The segment delivered a pre-tax result of ₹267.27 crore. The Motion segment recorded revenue of ₹1,268.77 crore, rising from ₹1,088.11 crore year-on-year, with a pre-tax result of ₹152.21 crore. The Automation segment, renamed from Process Automation effective January 1, 2026, generated revenue of ₹524.07 crore and a pre-tax result of ₹76.66 crore.
| Segment | Revenue (₹ Crore) | Pre-Tax Result (₹ Crore) |
|---|---|---|
| Electrification | 1,804.35 | 267.27 |
| Motion | 1,268.77 | 152.21 |
| Automation | 524.07 | 76.66 |
Discontinued Operations Impact
The current quarter’s profit includes a loss of ₹7.77 crore from discontinued operations, primarily related to the Power Grids business demerged to Hitachi Energy India Limited and the Robotics business sold earlier in the year. In contrast, the preceding quarter saw a significant one-time gain of ₹1,441.74 crore from discontinued operations due to the slump sale of the Robotics business to ABB Robotics India Private Limited for ₹1,568.20 crore. This transaction resulted in a profit on sale of ₹1,658.48 crore, recognized in the first quarter of FY27. Consequently, the year-to-date consolidated profit stands at ₹2,145.95 crore, significantly higher than the ₹826.37 crore reported in the previous year’s first half.
What the Numbers Show
The core operational profitability remains resilient despite the absence of the large one-time gain from discontinued operations seen in the prior quarter. Profit from continuing operations before tax was ₹498.77 crore, up from ₹461.38 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. The tax rate on continuing operations was approximately 25.8%, resulting in a post-tax profit from continuing operations of ₹370.07 crore. The decline in overall quarterly profit compared to the preceding quarter is entirely attributable to the non-recurring gain from the robotics divestment, indicating stable underlying business momentum.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Total assets stood at ₹1,5735.91 crore as of June 30, 2026, an increase from ₹13,638.48 crore at the end of FY26. Current assets, including trade receivables of ₹3,275.59 crore and inventories of ₹2,548.27 crore, saw moderate growth. Cash and cash equivalents decreased slightly to ₹1,340.56 crore from ₹1,552.57 crore. The company generated ₹634.84 crore from operating activities in the first half of FY27, while investing activities consumed ₹186.81 crore, largely due to capital expenditures and investments in bank deposits.
