Ganga Papers India Limited reported a net profit of ₹66.69 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, reflecting a 35% quarter-on-quarter decline from the ₹102.68 lakh earned in the preceding period. The company’s total income from operations grew by 12% to ₹8,502.96 lakh, driven by higher operational activity compared to the prior quarter’s ₹7,623.90 lakh. This divergence between revenue growth and profit contraction highlights margin pressure during the period. The unaudited standalone financial results were approved by the Board of Directors in a meeting held on August 8, 2026, and subsequently filed with the Bombay Stock Exchange on August 10, 2026.

The filing was made pursuant to Regulation 47(1)(a) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Newspaper advertisements containing the results were published on August 9, 2026, in the Financial Express (English edition) and Mumbai Lakshdeep (Pune edition). The full format of the quarterly results is available on the stock exchange websites and the company’s website.

Financial Performance Overview

The company’s earnings per share (basic and diluted) stood at ₹0.46 for the quarter, down from ₹0.77 in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. For the full year ended March 31, 2020, the company reported a net profit of ₹41.20 lakh on total income of ₹6,237.97 lakh. Equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹1,078.89 lakh, while reserves (excluding revaluation reserve) stood at ₹2,147.09 lakh as per the audited balance sheet of the previous year.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a significant disconnect between top-line growth and bottom-line performance in Q1FY21. While revenue increased by approximately ₹879 lakh compared to Q4FY20, net profit fell by ₹36 lakh. This suggests that operating costs or exceptional items may have eroded margins despite higher sales volume. Year-over-year, the current quarter’s profit is also significantly lower than the ₹225.59 lakh reported in Q1FY20, indicating a challenging operational environment compared to the same period last year. Investors should monitor subsequent quarters to determine if this margin compression is a temporary anomaly or a structural shift.

Ganga Papers India Limited reported a net profit of ₹49.91 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a 62% increase from ₹30.76 lakh in the corresponding period of the previous year. The paper manufacturing company’s revenue from operations grew 38% year-on-year to ₹8,600.85 lakh, driven by higher sales volumes and favorable pricing dynamics. This performance highlights the company’s ability to scale operations while maintaining profitability despite rising input costs, with earnings per share (EPS) rising to ₹0.46 from ₹0.29.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone financial results during a meeting held on August 08, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by the statutory auditors, Ram K Raj & Associates, Chartered Accountants (ICAI Firm Registration No. 002093C). In compliance with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, the trading window for designated persons will reopen 48 hours after the declaration of these results.

Financial Performance Highlights

The company’s financial metrics for Q1FY27 reflect strong operational momentum compared to both the previous quarter and the same period last year. Total revenue stood at ₹8,602.96 lakh, including ₹2.11 lakh from other income. Profit before tax was recorded at ₹66.69 lakh, up from ₹41.30 lakh in Q1FY26. Earnings per share (EPS) rose to ₹0.46 from ₹0.29 in the prior year’s corresponding quarter.

Cost of material consumed increased significantly to ₹8,193.30 lakh from ₹4,596.94 lakh in Q1FY26, reflecting higher production volumes. However, this was partially offset by a decrease in finance costs to ₹58.01 lakh from ₹62.83 lakh in the prior year quarter. Employee benefits expense rose marginally to ₹85.20 lakh from ₹72.69 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

A key analytical observation is the divergence between revenue growth and other income trends. While revenue from operations surged 38% year-on-year, other income declined sharply to ₹2.11 lakh from ₹12.14 lakh in the preceding quarter and remained flat compared to ₹1.92 lakh in Q1FY26. This indicates that the profit growth is primarily driven by core operational efficiencies rather than non-operating gains. Additionally, the reduction in finance costs despite increased material consumption suggests effective debt management or lower interest rates, contributing positively to the bottom line.
