Segmental Insights

The segment generated an EBIT of ₹111.47 crore, demonstrating strong profitability.

Corporate Developments
The company disclosed that Ms. Lalitha Uthayakumar has been redesignated from President – Refrigerant Gas Business to General Manager – Accounts, effective August 01, 2026, following the discontinuation of the Refrigerant Gas Business. She will cease to be a Senior Managerial Personnel from the same date.
Regarding corporate restructuring, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Chennai Bench, has directed the company to convene meetings of equity shareholders and creditors on August 05, 2026, concerning the Composite Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement involving Refex Green Mobility Limited and Refex Mobility Limited. The scheme seeks approval under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Additionally, the company forfeited ₹130.69 crore received as upfront payment for 1,11,70,000 convertible warrants allotted in November 2024, as the balance consideration was not received within the stipulated 18-month period ending May 06, 2026. This amount has been recognized as income during the quarter.
What the Numbers Show
The dramatic year-on-year growth in both revenue and profit is largely structural, stemming from the exclusion of volatile trading businesses — Power Trading and Refrigerant Gases — which are now classified as discontinued operations. The core Ash & Coal Handling business shows robust health, with EBIT margins remaining high. The improvement in EBITDA margin to 17% from 11.3% further underscores the enhanced profitability of the continuing business. Furthermore, the significant boost to bottom-line figures from the forfeiture of warrant payments highlights the impact of capital market transactions on current period profitability, suggesting that operational cash flows should be monitored alongside these accounting gains.
