Affordable Robotic & Automation Limited returned to profitability at the consolidated level in FY26, reporting a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹69.71 lakh against a loss of ₹116.49 lakh in the previous year. The turnaround was driven by a sharp reduction in costs across materials, employee benefits, and other expenses, alongside a one-time gain from a favourable GST appellate order. The Board of Directors approved the audited financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026, on May 30, 2026.

On a standalone basis, the company reported a 16% increase in PAT to ₹69.59 lakh for FY26, compared to ₹59.86 lakh in FY25. Profit Before Tax (PBT) grew 17% to ₹96.52 lakh, while EBITDA rose 11% to ₹160.26 lakh. The EBITDA margin expanded significantly to 14.5%, a gain of 550 basis points, reflecting improved operating leverage and tighter cost control.

The consolidated financials highlighted a complete turnaround for the group. EBITDA swung from a loss of ₹23.35 lakh to a profit of ₹171.63 lakh, while PBT moved from a loss of ₹94.17 lakh to a profit of ₹98.82 lakh. Total expenses for the group decreased to ₹1,037.96 crore from ₹1,658.86 crore in the previous year, aided by optimised material and employee costs.

Other Income played a significant role in the standalone performance, rising to ₹18.87 lakh from ₹2.16 lakh. This included a one-time write-back of ₹15 lakh due to a favourable GST appellate order. In the consolidated results, other income stood at ₹32.89 lakh, comprising interest accrued on ODI Loan, GST provision reversal, unrealised forex gain, and interest on deposits.

The company also provided a business update on its autonomous robotics segment, ARAPL RaaS, which operates under the Humro brand. It announced a strategic investment of ₹48 crore to build a world-class autonomous robotics business. Humro is in advanced discussions to finalise a strategic partnership in the United States to accelerate growth and enable local inventory stocking, reducing delivery lead times to approximately 15 days.
