GRP Limited reported a significant improvement in profitability for the first quarter of FY27, with standalone net profit rising 48% to ₹4.82 crore from ₹3.25 crore in Q1FY26. The company’s consolidated net profit attributable to owners surged 140% to ₹4.20 crore, compared to ₹1.75 crore in the corresponding period last year. This turnaround marks a sharp recovery from the preceding quarter, where the consolidated entity reported a loss of ₹1.34 crore. The results reflect strong operational momentum in the core rubber recycling business, which continues to be the primary revenue and profit driver.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results at a meeting held on July 23, 2026. The results were subjected to a limited review by the statutory auditors, Rajendra & Co., pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Additionally, the Board adopted an updated policy for determining materiality of events, incorporating changes related to Key Managerial Personnel authorized to make disclosures under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

Standalone revenue from operations grew 30% to ₹15,565.01 lakh from ₹11,922.36 lakh in Q1FY26. The rubber recycling segment contributed ₹15,439.13 lakh to gross revenue, generating a segment result of ₹1,922.86 lakh before tax and interest. This compares to a segment result of ₹1,123.63 lakh in the same period last year. The 'Others' segment recorded a modest revenue of ₹1,438.79 lakh and a segment result of ₹221.94 lakh. Total comprehensive income for the standalone entity stood at ₹579.45 lakh, a stark contrast to the comprehensive loss of ₹161.52 lakh reported in Q1FY26.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between the standalone and consolidated profit growth highlights the impact of inter-company dynamics or subsidiary performance. While standalone PAT grew 48%, consolidated PAT attributable to owners nearly tripled (140%). However, total comprehensive income for the consolidated group remained positive at ₹517.26 lakh, reversing the substantial comprehensive loss of ₹312.16 lakh seen in Q1FY26. This suggests that while operational profits are robust, non-operational items or other comprehensive income components previously dragged down overall group value have stabilized. The rubber recycling segment remains the undisputed core, accounting for over 97% of standalone gross revenue.

During the quarter, GRP Limited granted an additional 52,530 stock options under the second tranche of its Employees Stock Option Scheme (ESOS-2024) to eligible employees. These options carry an exercise price of ₹1,756 per option and will vest over a maximum period of four years, subject to specified conditions. The company had previously reserved 160,000 equity shares for this scheme. The figures for the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2026, are presented as balancing figures between audited full-year figures and published year-to-date unaudited figures.
