Ajanta Soya reported a standalone net profit of ₹783.14 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY26), reversing the net loss of ₹119.09 lakh posted in the previous quarter. The company’s total income from operations was ₹33,039.69 lakh, showing modest growth compared to ₹31,207.69 lakh in the corresponding period of FY25.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results in a meeting held on August 13, 2026. The results were subsequently published in Financial Express (Mumbai and Delhi editions) and Jansatta on August 14, 2026, in compliance with Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Financial Performance

Total income from operations increased slightly to ₹33,039.69 lakh from ₹31,207.69 lakh in Q1FY25. For the full fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, total income stood at ₹1,30,767.05 lakh.

Net profit before tax rose to ₹1,030.14 lakh in Q1FY26, compared to ₹223.68 lakh in the same quarter last year. After-tax net profit climbed to ₹783.14 lakh from ₹177.99 lakh year-on-year. Earnings per share (basic and diluted) were ₹0.97 each, up from ₹0.22 in Q1FY25.

Reserves (excluding revaluation reserve) stood at ₹15,187.84 lakh as on March 31, 2026, an increase from ₹14,274.47 lakh as on March 31, 2025. Equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹1,609.66 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The sharp recovery in profitability is notable given the near-flat revenue growth. While total income grew by approximately 5.9% year-on-year, net profit before tax expanded by over 360%. This divergence suggests significant improvement in operating margins or cost efficiencies during the quarter, allowing the company to convert stable top-line performance into substantially higher bottom-line gains compared to the prior year period.

Ajanta Soya Ltd has re-appointed Sushil Kumar Goyal as Managing Director for a period of three years, effective from July 26, 2026, to July 25, 2029. The Board of Directors also approved the re-appointment of Abhey Goyal as Whole-time Director for three years from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2029. Both appointments are subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. These leadership decisions were taken during the Board meeting held on June 30, 2026, under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The Board took note of the superannuation of Jai Gopal Sharma, Chief Financial Officer and Key Managerial Personnel, effective from the close of business hours on June 30, 2026. Consequently, the Board appointed Anil Kumar Rana, currently serving as Finance Controller, as the new Chief Financial Officer and Key Managerial Personnel effective July 1, 2026.
