Mysore Petro Chemicals Limited reported a consolidated net profit of ₹956.07 lakhs for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a significant turnaround from the net loss of ₹39.61 lakhs recorded in Q1FY26. The surge was primarily driven by a share of profit from its associate, I G Petrochemicals Limited, which contributed ₹879.19 lakhs to the bottom line. On a standalone basis, the company posted a net profit of ₹296.44 lakhs, up 140% year-on-year from ₹123.21 lakhs, as revenue from operations grew to ₹1,143.77 lakhs.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results at a meeting held on August 10, 2026. The results were reviewed by the statutory auditor, RMJ & Associates LLP, pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The auditor issued an unmodified review report, confirming that the statements disclose all required information without material misstatement.

Financial Performance Highlights

The company’s revenue from operations increased by 57.6% YoY to ₹1,143.77 lakhs in Q1FY27, compared to ₹725.60 lakhs in the corresponding period of FY26. Other income also saw a substantial rise, jumping to ₹437.21 lakhs from ₹236.39 lakhs last year. Total income for the quarter stood at ₹1,580.98 lakhs on both standalone and consolidated bases.

Profit before tax on a standalone basis was ₹393.36 lakhs, compared to ₹157.61 lakhs in Q1FY26. The tax expense for the quarter was ₹96.92 lakhs. On a consolidated basis, profit before tax stood at ₹1,272.55 lakhs, with a total tax expense of ₹316.48 lakhs.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between standalone and consolidated profitability highlights the company’s reliance on its associate for overall earnings growth. While standalone operations delivered a healthy 140% YoY profit increase, the consolidated result was disproportionately boosted by the ₹879.19 lakhs share of profit from I G Petrochemicals Limited. Without this contribution, the consolidated net profit would have been significantly lower, underscoring the strategic importance of the equity-accounted investment in driving current period performance.
