The results were reviewed by M/s Maroti & Associates, Chartered Accountants, who issued an unmodified limited review report before resigning as statutory auditors effective July 27, 2026.

Total expenses were ₹999.16 crore, up from ₹918.23 crore year-on-year, driven primarily by higher raw material costs and other expenses.

EBITDA and Margin Performance

Key Appointments
The Board appointed Amit Jalan as Chief Financial Officer and Key Managerial Personnel, effective July 27, 2026. Jalan, who has been with the company since its incorporation, previously served as Chief Accounts Officer. He brings over 25 years of experience in finance management, corporate planning, and Ind-AS accounting. The appointment was made based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
What the Numbers Show
While revenue growth remained modest at 1.6%, expense growth outpaced it at 8.8%, compressing profitability. The EBITDA margin decline of over 5 percentage points year-on-year, from 21.89% to 16.16%, highlights the extent of operating margin erosion during the quarter. Raw material costs accounted for the largest share of the expense increase, rising significantly year-on-year. The divergence between revenue stability and profit contraction highlights margin pressure in the steel manufacturing segment during the quarter.
