Total expenses increased to ₹889.8 million from ₹926.7 million in Q1FY26, primarily due to lower cost of materials consumed and reduced purchases of stock-in-trade. Employee benefit expenses rose to ₹122.3 million from ₹107.9 million. Finance costs decreased slightly to ₹13.3 million.

Discontinued Operations
The company completed the disposal of its Power Division during the quarter. Consequently, the division has been classified as a discontinued operation under Ind AS 105. The discontinued segment reported a loss before tax of ₹46.1 million for the quarter, compared to a profit of ₹6.5 million in Q1FY26. This includes exceptional items of ₹51.6 million related to the disposal.
What the Numbers Show
The divergence between standalone and consolidated other income highlights the impact of inter-company eliminations and subsidiary performance. While standalone other income was ₹25.7 million, consolidated other income was only ₹17.4 million, indicating significant adjustments in the group structure. Additionally, the sharp decline in material costs relative to revenue growth suggests improved input cost management or favorable pricing dynamics in the ceramic products segment.
