The Indian Hume Pipe Co. Ltd. has announced its annual audited standalone financial results for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The board of directors, which met on May 14, 2026, reviewed and approved the financial statements, reporting a net profit of ₹141.11 crores for the year. The statutory auditors, M/s. K. S. Aiyar & Co, provided an unmodified opinion on the annual audited standalone financial results. The company operates primarily in the Construction and Real Estate segments and attributed the 12.45% decline in turnover compared to the previous year to extended monsoon conditions, an elongated billing cycle in Jal Jeevan Mission, and Bhagiratha Projects, which led to selective execution of projects in certain states.

Financial Performance Overview

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a net profit of ₹22.98 crores on revenue from operations of ₹351.30 crores. For the full year, revenue from operations stood at ₹1305.57 crores, while total revenue reached ₹1350.39 crores. EBITDA for the full year was ₹190.55 crores, representing a margin of 14.60% — an improvement of 152 basis points over the previous year — driven by increased execution of pipeline irrigation projects and stronger demand for the company's manufacturing products. Exceptional items of ₹64.33 crores for the year arose primarily from the sale of freehold land at Azamabad Industrial Area, Hyderabad, Telangana, admeasuring about 15,310.80 sq. metres, to M/s. ASBL Private Limited (formerly known as M/s. Ashoka Builders India Private Limited) for a consideration of INR 173.96 crores.
