MSTC Limited reported a 16.91% year-on-year increase in total revenue to ₹453.04 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company achieved its highest revenue from operations in four years at ₹369.66 crore, driven by growth in e-commerce services. EBITDA rose 18.25% to ₹307.49 crore, reflecting improved operational efficiency despite a decline in profit after tax due to the absence of exceptional items recorded in the previous year. Following the results, the company held a conference call with investors and analysts on May 30, 2026, to discuss the financial performance for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026.

Financial Performance

The company’s standalone EBITDA for FY26 stood at ₹307.49 crore, compared to ₹260.04 crore in FY25. Profit before tax (before exceptional items) grew 22.84% to ₹295.69 crore. However, profit after tax declined 44.99% to ₹221.69 crore, primarily because the prior year included exceptional item income of ₹263.19 crore. On a consolidated basis, PAT decreased 46.34% to ₹218.43 crore, with EBITDA increasing 18.25% to ₹307.49 crore.

The following table summarises the standalone financial highlights for FY26:

Operational Highlights

MSTC transacted goods worth ₹797.37 billion through its ecosystem during the year. The e-commerce segment revenue grew 17.25% to ₹329.72 crore. Business highlights included the successful sale of 10 coal mines and the auction of over 200 major mineral blocks. The company also auctioned Tariff Rate Quotas for gold bullion and was selected by Coal India Limited for coal linkage auctions.

Strategic Outlook

MSTC outlined its strategic path forward, focusing on digital platforms and technology-driven business lines. The company has developed an Electronic Trading Platform for Extended Producer Responsibility certificates, pending formal approval. It has entered an agreement with SBI CAPS for transaction advisory solutions and is developing new platforms for travel services and machinery leasing. MSTC plans to completely exit its erstwhile trading vertical during FY 2026–27 to sharpen its focus on these core areas.
