Financial Performance
For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a net profit of INR 0.97 Cr, a decrease from INR 5.23 Cr in the previous year. Revenue from operations for the year stood at INR 348.07 Cr, compared to INR 291.92 Cr in the prior year, reflecting growth of 19.2%. EBITDA stood at INR 31.34 Cr, down from INR 34.17 Cr, with margins moderating to 9.0% from 11.7% due to higher fixed costs and new brand investments.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the net profit was INR 0.52 Cr, down from INR 1.58 Cr in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Total revenue for the quarter increased to INR 90.42 Cr from INR 72.32 Cr in the same period last year, a rise of 25.0%. EBITDA for the quarter grew 4.1% YoY to INR 8.7 Cr, though margins moderated to 9.7%.
Operational Highlights
The company identified "Travel Gear and related accessories" as its single reportable operating segment. During the year, the company commenced commercial production at its new manufacturing facility in Vikram Udyog Puri, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, effective July 16, 2025. The plant has an installed capacity of 3.5 lakh units per annum. Additionally, a new 102,000 sq. ft warehouse with a capacity of 12 lakh units was established to support expansion.
Strategic Outlook and Challenges
Management highlighted that near-term moderation in profitability is a deliberate outcome of expansion, manufacturing scale-up, and brand launches. The company is prioritizing efficiency over expansion to improve operating leverage. Key challenges include raw material inflation, with Polycarbonate costs surging approximately 77%, and INR depreciation impacting input costs. The company received the first instalment of INR 1.56 Cr towards a capital subsidy of INR 10.96 Cr sanctioned by the State Government.
