| Metric | Q1FY26 | Q1FY25 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | ₹0 lakh | ₹0 lakh | - |
| Other Income | ₹63.01 lakh | ₹114.46 lakh | -44.9% |
| Total Expenses | ₹70.81 lakh | ₹40.62 lakh | +74.3% |
| Profit Before Tax | (₹7.80 lakh) | ₹73.84 lakh | Turned Loss |
| Net Profit | ₹172.14 lakh | ₹44.96 lakh | +282.9% |
The bottom-line improvement was primarily attributable to a substantial deferred tax benefit of ₹179.94 lakh. Current tax expense was nil for the quarter. In comparison, total tax expenses in Q1FY25 stood at ₹28.88 lakh, including current tax of ₹1.38 lakh and deferred tax of ₹27.50 lakh.
What the Numbers Show
The divergence between the operational loss and the reported net profit highlights the dominant role of tax accounting adjustments in the quarter’s profitability. While other income declined sharply from ₹114.46 lakh in Q1FY25 to ₹63.01 lakh in Q1FY26, and total expenses increased by over 70%, the deferred tax credit of ₹179.94 lakh more than doubled the final net profit figure compared to the prior year. This indicates that core operational metrics deteriorated, but statutory profit was bolstered by non-cash tax benefits.
Comprehensive Income
Other comprehensive income for the quarter surged to ₹12,513.75 lakh, up from ₹1,658.62 lakh in Q1FY25. This included items that will not be reclassified to profit and loss, amounting to ₹14,601.81 lakh, partially offset by an income tax effect of (₹2,088.06 lakh). Consequently, total comprehensive income reached ₹12,685.89 lakh, significantly higher than the ₹1,703.58 lakh reported in the previous year’s quarter.
Earnings per share (basic and diluted) stood at ₹68.86, compared to ₹17.98 in Q1FY25. The EPS figures are not annualised for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
