Net profit before tax and exceptional items for Q4 FY26 was ₹204.96 crore versus ₹284.89 crore in Q4 FY25.

FY26 Standalone Financial Performance

On a standalone basis, revenue from operations for FY26 was ₹2,653.38 crore, compared to ₹2,850.84 crore in FY25. Standalone net profit for the year was ₹990.81 crore, significantly higher than ₹681.92 crore in FY25.

For Q4 FY26 standalone, net profit after tax stood at ₹221.18 crore, with basic and diluted EPS of ₹6.96.

Exceptional Items and Key Developments

The sharp improvement in profitability was materially supported by exceptional income totalling ₹522.65 crore for the full year. This arose from two key developments. First, following changes in GST rates on the supply of lignite effective September 22, 2025 — from 5% to 18% with removal of compensation cess — the company became eligible to utilise GST input tax credit of ₹492.63 crore (available in the Electronic Credit Ledger), which had been expensed out in earlier periods. This was recognised as an exceptional item in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Second, ITC pertaining to earlier years that was under litigation and had been written off was restored following withdrawal of an appeal approved by the Joint Commissioner of State Tax, resulting in recognition of ₹30.02 crore as an ITC asset with a corresponding exceptional item.

Additionally, the Government of India consolidated 29 labour laws into four new Codes effective November 21, 2025. The company assessed an immediate financial impact of ₹3.02 crore and recognised it in Q4 FY26. During the year, the Group also reassessed its control over Gujarat Mineral Research and Industrial Consultancy Society (GMRICS) and GMDC Science and Research Centre, concluding that control was absent. These entities ceased to be subsidiaries effective April 1, 2025, with a resulting loss of ₹26.56 crore recognised as Other Expenses. Further, the Group discontinued equity accounting for its investment in Gujarat Foundation for Entrepreneurial Excellence with effect from April 1, 2025, and a loss of ₹6.87 crore between the carrying value as on March 31, 2025 and its cost was reversed and accounted as "Loss on de-recognition of assets and liabilities" under Other Expenses.

Segment Performance

The consolidated segment results for FY26 reflect continued dominance of the Mining segment. Mining revenue stood at ₹2,507.62 crore for the year, compared to ₹2,713.76 crore in FY25, while the Power segment contributed ₹215.72 crore, up from ₹160.28 crore. On the operating results front, Mining delivered a segment profit of ₹607.50 crore versus ₹699.13 crore in FY25, while the Power segment reported a loss of ₹79.61 crore compared to a loss of ₹21.94 crore in FY25.

Net cash flow from operating activities on a consolidated basis was ₹743.72 crore for FY26, compared to ₹1,065.58 crore in FY25.
