Chaman Lal Setia Exports reported a 48% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹319.87 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by a 13% rise in total income from operations to ₹3,459.20 lakh. The growth underscores sustained demand for its flagship Maharani Basmati Rice brand and efficient cost management during the period. This performance marks a significant improvement from the previous year’s quarter, where net profit stood at ₹216.45 lakh.

The company filed its unaudited standalone financial results with the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange on August 08, 2026, under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were also published in the newspapers Business Standard and Jag Bani on the same date. Rajeev Setia, Joint Managing Director & CFO, signed off on the financial statement dated August 06, 2026.

Financial Performance

Total income from operations decreased 19% quarter-on-quarter from ₹4283.70 lakh in Q4FY26 but remained significantly higher than the ₹3072.65 lakh recorded in Q1FY25. The net profit before tax stood at ₹427.47 lakh, compared to ₹515.37 lakh in the preceding quarter. Equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹99.45 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between the quarterly revenue decline and the strong year-on-year profit growth highlights seasonal variations typical in the agricultural export sector. While Q4FY26 saw peak operational income, likely due to harvest cycles or export shipment schedules, the current quarter’s profitability remained robust against the prior year’s baseline. The consistent earnings per share trajectory, rising from ₹4.35 in Q1FY25 to ₹6.44 in Q1FY26, indicates improved capital efficiency despite lower sequential revenues.
