The company reported a standalone profit after tax of ₹15.51 lakh, a significant decline from ₹627.60 lakh in the previous year.

Financial Performance Overview
Revenue from operations remained broadly stable at ₹5,857.57 lakh compared to ₹6,110.33 lakh in FY25. However, total expenses rose to ₹6,307.63 lakh from ₹5,365.52 lakh, driven by higher material costs and employee benefits.
| Metric | FY26 | FY25 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | ₹5,857.57 lakh | ₹6,110.33 lakh | -4.1% |
| Total Expenses | ₹6,307.63 lakh | ₹5,365.52 lakh | +17.6% |
| Profit After Tax | ₹15.51 lakh | ₹627.60 lakh | -97.5% |
| Earnings Per Share | ₹0.15 | ₹6.18 | -97.6% |
On a consolidated basis, the company recorded a loss after tax of ₹428.23 lakh, reversing a profit of ₹679.51 lakh in FY25. This shift was primarily influenced by losses from associates and exceptional items.
What the Numbers Show
A divergence exists between the company's operational stability and its bottom-line performance. While revenue declined marginally by approximately 4%, expenses surged nearly 18%. The standalone profit before tax stood at ₹60.85 lakh after accounting for exceptional items of ₹259.08 lakh. In contrast, consolidated results were dragged down by a loss from associates of ₹344.43 lakh, highlighting the financial impact of recent international expansions.

- Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited: ₹23.55 crore order for naval valves.
- BHEL Engineering Services Division: ₹19.89 crore order for remote-control valves.
- Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited: Execution of submarine valve orders.
