ABC India reported a net profit of ₹11.65 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY26), a substantial increase from the ₹1.60 lakh profit recorded in the same period last year. The company’s revenue from operations rose 9% year-on-year to ₹4,131.07 lakh, up from ₹3,787.55 lakh in Q1FY25.
The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results in a meeting held on August 13, 2026. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by statutory auditors BDS & Co., Chartered Accountants, who issued an unmodified opinion.
Segment Performance
The company operates through two primary segments: Freight & Services and Petrol Pump. Both segments contributed to the top-line growth:
- Freight & Services: Revenue increased to ₹2,222.74 lakh from ₹2,084.15 lakh in Q1FY25. This segment reported a pre-tax profit of ₹219.59 lakh, compared to ₹150.26 lakh in the prior year period.
- Petrol Pump: Revenue grew to ₹1,908.33 lakh from ₹1,703.40 lakh. The segment’s pre-tax profit remained stable at ₹14.51 lakh, slightly up from ₹14.00 lakh.
What the Numbers Show
A key observation from the filing is the divergence between operational profitability and the bottom line due to unallocated expenditures. While the combined segment results showed a pre-tax profit of ₹234.10 lakh, the company incurred ₹190.44 lakh in unallocated expenditure net off income. This significant overhead reduced the consolidated profit before tax to just ₹11.81 lakh. In contrast, the corresponding quarter of FY25 had lower unallocated costs of ₹115.83 lakh, despite lower segment profits.
