Operational Efficiency Drives Margin Expansion
The divergence between revenue decline and profit growth underscores a notable improvement in operating margins. While revenue fell primarily due to lower sales volumes or pricing pressures, total expenses decreased by 9.3% to ₹1,735.52 crore. Finance costs dropped sharply by 85.3% to ₹5.69 crore from ₹38.57 crore in Q1FY26, likely reflecting the repayment of borrowings using IPO proceeds. Other expenses also declined by 4.8% to ₹286.83 crore. This cost discipline allowed the company to expand its net profit margin from 4.7% in Q1FY26 to 6.6% in Q1FY27.
Governance and Appointments
Alongside the financial results, the Board approved key governance appointments:
- Internal Auditor: KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services LLP (LLPIN: AAT-0367) was appointed as the Internal Auditor for FY27 based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee. The firm has no relationship with the company’s directors or key managerial personnel.
- Secretarial Auditor: Prachi Bhartia, Company Secretaries (C.P No. 22964), was appointed as Secretarial Auditor for five consecutive years, from FY27 to FY31, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
These appointments were disclosed pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with SEBI Master Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFDPOD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026.
IPO Proceeds Utilization
Since its IPO in September 2025, which raised ₹4,087.98 crore, the company has utilized ₹732.05 crore of the net proceeds of ₹1,197.11 crore available for corporate purposes. Of this, ₹600 crore was used to repay outstanding borrowings, contributing to the reduced finance costs seen in Q1FY27. Only ₹24.62 crore has been deployed towards the planned capital expenditure for a roasted gram flour unit in Darjeeling, leaving ₹4,253.76 crore unutilised for this purpose. The remaining unutilised funds are parked in fixed deposits and a designated special current bank account.
