Financial Performance
Revenue from operations (net) stood at ₹90.13 crore, down 1.2% from ₹91.26 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. However, total income increased to ₹95.03 crore, driven by other income rising to ₹49.03 lakh from ₹20.71 lakh in Q1FY26.
Total expenses were contained at ₹87.87 crore, compared to ₹87.13 crore in Q1FY26. Cost of materials consumed remained stable at ₹63.49 crore, while employee benefit expenses increased to ₹10.72 crore from ₹10.06 crore.
| Metric | Q1FY27 (₹ Lakh) | Q1FY26 (₹ Lakh) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations (Net) | 9,013.00 | 9,125.80 | -1.2% |
| Other Income | 490.30 | 207.12 | +136.7% |
| Total Income | 9,503.30 | 9,332.92 | +1.8% |
| Total Expenses | 8,786.72 | 8,713.09 | +0.8% |
| Profit Before Tax | 716.58 | 619.83 | +15.6% |
| Net Profit After Tax | 464.70 | 416.52 | +11.6% |

What the Numbers Show
A key divergence in the results is the impact of non-operating items on profitability. While revenue from operations contracted slightly, other income more than doubled to ₹49.03 lakh, contributing significantly to the top-line growth. This surge in other income was the primary driver behind the 15.6% rise in profit before tax, indicating that operational margin expansion alone did not account for the bottom-line improvement.
Comprehensive Income & Equity
Total comprehensive income for the period reached ₹23.61 crore, a substantial increase from ₹3.49 crore in Q1FY26. This was largely driven by a gain of ₹21.27 crore from changes in the fair value of investments carried at fair value through OCI, partially offset by remeasurement losses on defined benefit obligations.
Paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹10.61 crore. Earnings per share (basic) were reported at ₹4.38, up from ₹3.93 in the previous year’s corresponding quarter.
Corporate Actions
The board also scheduled the company’s 35th Annual General Meeting for September 21, 2026, to be conducted via video conferencing.
