Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹5,110.1 million for the quarter, a decline of 44% from ₹9,157.3 million in the corresponding quarter of FY25. Total income was ₹5,197.3 million, including other income of ₹87.2 million.
Total expenses amounted to ₹5,123.2 million. Cost of materials and services consumed was ₹5,267.4 million, exceeding revenue from operations.

Employee benefits expense was ₹258.6 million, while finance costs rose to ₹217.4 million from ₹190.4 million in the prior year quarter.

After tax expense of ₹20.4 million, the net profit for the period was ₹53.6 million, down from ₹1,166.0 million in the previous year. Basic earnings per share (EPS) were ₹0.43, compared to ₹10.41 in the same quarter last year.

| Metric | Q1FY27 (Unaudited) | Q1FY25 (Restated) |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | ₹5,110.1 million | ₹9,157.3 million |
| EBITDA | ₹338.0 million | ₹1,800.0 million |
| EBITDA Margin | 6.61% | 19.34% |
| Profit Before Tax | ₹74.1 million | ₹1,461.8 million |
| Net Profit | ₹53.6 million | ₹1,166.0 million |
| Basic EPS | ₹0.43 | ₹10.41 |
Standalone Results
On a standalone basis, revenue from operations was ₹3,332.4 million, down from ₹3,778.0 million in Q1FY25. Standalone net profit fell 22% year-on-year to ₹68.6 million from ₹87.8 million. Standalone basic EPS was ₹0.54.
What the Numbers Show
The divergence between standalone and consolidated performance highlights the impact of subsidiaries on overall margins. While the standalone entity maintained a profit margin of approximately 2%, the consolidated group’s margin compressed significantly due to higher material costs in the broader group structure. Additionally, finance costs at the consolidated level increased 14% year-on-year to ₹217.4 million, suggesting rising interest burdens despite debt repayment initiatives funded by IPO proceeds. The sharp contraction in EBITDA margin from 19.34% to 6.61% underscores the pressure on operational efficiency amid declining revenues.
Strategic Developments
During the quarter, the company acquired an 80% stake in Melcon Transformers and Electricals Private Limited for ₹24.0 million, making it a subsidiary. The remaining 20% stake, valued at ₹20.0 million, will be paid as deferred consideration over the next two years.
The company also disclosed the utilization of its initial public offer (IPO) proceeds. Of the ₹7,000.0 million raised through the fresh issue, ₹5,111.5 million had been utilized as of June 30, 2026. Key utilizations included ₹1,664.4 million for repaying borrowings of subsidiary Saatvik Solar Industries Private Limited and ₹2,957.9 million towards setting up a 4 GW solar PV module manufacturing facility in Odisha.
Accounting Policy Changes
The Group changed its accounting policy for inventory valuation from First In First Out (FIFO) to the moving weighted average cost method with effect from March 31, 2026. Comparative figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, have been restated accordingly. The change resulted in a decrease in profit before tax of ₹33.7 million for the restated prior year quarter.
Suresh Surana & Associates LLP served as the independent auditors for the review of the interim financial information.
