The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on August 12, 2026. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) stood at ₹2.61, up from ₹2.20 in the prior quarter.

Financial Performance

Revenue growth was supported by increased activity across key segments. The manufacturing segment contributed ₹10,852.72 lakh, while the trading segment accounted for ₹19,708.82 lakh. Total income for the quarter was ₹306.76 crore, including other income of ₹0.73 crore.

Profit before tax and exceptional items stood at ₹11.25 crore, compared to ₹10.68 crore in the previous quarter and ₹6.08 crore in Q1FY26. Finance costs decreased slightly to ₹14.94 crore from ₹15.43 crore in the prior quarter.

Segment-wise Results

The manufacturing segment delivered a result of ₹23.06 crore, up from ₹17.78 crore in the previous quarter. The trading segment reported a result of ₹3.49 crore, down from ₹9.46 crore previously. The windmill segment posted a minor profit of ₹0.15 crore.

What the Numbers Show

The significant year-on-year improvement in net profit—from ₹0.69 crore in Q1FY26 to ₹8.05 crore in Q1FY27—highlights a recovery in operational profitability. This surge contrasts with the prior year’s period, which included an exceptional loss of ₹4.99 crore due to a fire incident at the Pithampur plant in April 2025. The current quarter saw no such exceptional items, allowing underlying operational gains to flow directly to the bottom line. Additionally, while revenue grew 17.9% YoY, finance costs remained relatively stable at ₹14.94 crore, suggesting improved leverage efficiency or stable debt servicing costs despite higher operational scale.
