The prior year’s figure was inflated by exceptional items related to the sale of immovable property, making the current quarter’s operational performance notably strong.

| Particulars | Q1FY27 Standalone | Q1FY26 Standalone | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | ₹8.14 crore | ₹5.67 crore | +44% |
| Total Expenses | ₹73.34 lakh | ₹1.33 crore | -45% |
| Profit Before Tax | ₹74.06 lakh | ₹484.82 crore* | N/A |
| Net Profit After Tax | ₹6.05 crore | ₹42.47 crore* | -86% |
| EPS (Basic) | ₹78.45 | ₹5,505.51 | -99% |
Note: Q1FY26 figures include exceptional items of ₹480.47 crore from property sales.
Consolidated total income reached ₹8.35 crore, with other income contributing ₹3.21 lakh. Total expenses decreased 41% to ₹80.84 lakh due to lower other expenses. The group’s basic earnings per share stood at ₹80.84, compared to ₹5,506.19 in the corresponding period last year.
What the Numbers Show
The dramatic decline in reported net profit percentage is misleading without context; it stems entirely from the absence of the one-time ₹480.47 crore gain from the Whitefield, Bengaluru property sale recorded in Q1FY26. Excluding this exceptional item, underlying operational profitability has nearly doubled year-on-year. The company’s strategy of investing in immovable properties and financial instruments continues to generate steady cash flows, with interest income becoming a larger contributor than in previous periods. No segment reporting was required as the group operates primarily in non-banking financial activities.
