Ujaas Energy reported a standalone net profit of ₹325.07 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a 30.76% increase from ₹248.60 lakh in the corresponding period of the previous year. The growth was primarily fueled by a sharp rise in other income, which stood at ₹718.85 lakh compared to ₹656.10 lakh in Q1FY26. This surge included ₹409.38 lakh from bad debt recoveries and ₹257.67 lakh in interest income on an arbitration award for a 15 MW solar power plant from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Nashik. Total revenue rose 11.00% year-on-year to ₹1,022.14 lakh, while profit before tax increased to ₹425.81 lakh from ₹317.01 lakh. The results were published in newspapers Free Press and Choutha Sansar on July 31, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 and Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone financial results at a meeting held on July 30, 2026. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by statutory auditors Ashok Khasgiwala & Co. LLP, pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015. The Board also reconstituted the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC), inducting Geeta Mundra as an additional member effective July 30, 2026.
Financial Performance
The following table summarises the key financial metrics for the quarter:
| Particulars: | Q1FY27 (₹ Lakh) | Q1FY26 (₹ Lakh) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations: | 303.29 | 264.89 | +14.50% |
| Other Income: | 718.85 | 656.10 | +9.56% |
| Total Revenue: | 1,022.14 | 920.99 | +11.00% |
| Total Expenses: | 596.33 | 603.98 | -1.27% |
| Profit Before Tax: | 425.81 | 317.01 | +34.32% |
| Net Profit: | 325.07 | 248.60 | +30.76% |
| EPS (Basic): | ₹0.24 | ₹0.22 | +9.09% |
Revenue from operations grew 14.50% year-on-year to ₹303.29 lakh. Total expenses declined slightly by 1.27% to ₹596.33 lakh, aided by lower other expenses which fell to ₹276.13 lakh from ₹265.14 lakh in the prior year quarter, despite a rise in cost of materials consumed to ₹228.12 lakh. The company reported a deferred tax expense of ₹100.74 lakh for the quarter.
Segment-wise Results
The Manufacturing and Sale of Solar Power Systems segment was the primary contributor to profitability, while the Solar Power Plant Operation segment continued to face headwinds.
| Segment: | Revenue (₹ Lakh) | Result PBT (₹ Lakh) |
|---|---|---|
| Solar Power Plant Operation: | 315.38 | (92.53) |
| Manufacturing & Sale of Solar Systems: | 667.47 | 559.23 |
| EV: | 0.71 | (9.35) |
| Un-allocable Income: | 38.58 | (29.75) |
The Manufacturing and Sale of Solar Power Systems segment reported a segment result profit of ₹559.23 lakh, compared to ₹414.25 lakh in Q1FY26. In contrast, the Solar Power Plant Operation segment incurred a loss of ₹92.53 lakh, widening from a loss of ₹114.03 lakh in the previous year quarter but reversing a profit of ₹162.47 lakh in the preceding quarter (Q4FY26). The EV segment reported a loss of ₹9.35 lakh.
What the Numbers Show
The primary driver of profitability improvement was non-operational other income rather than core operational efficiency. While revenue from operations grew modestly by 14.50%, other income surged significantly due to one-time recoveries and arbitration interest. This indicates that net profit growth is heavily dependent on exceptional items rather than sustained operational margin expansion. The Solar Power Plant Operation segment continues to face profitability challenges, posting a loss for the quarter, though it improved year-on-year.
Audit Qualification
Statutory auditors Ashok Khasgiwala & Co. LLP issued a qualified conclusion regarding accrued interest income on Fixed Deposits with Axis Bank. The company accrued ₹4.06 lakh as interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which had not been credited by the bank. This discrepancy exists between the balance per books of account and the bank confirmation. The cumulative uncredited amount for the year ended March 31, 2026, was ₹17.49 lakh. Adjusting for this qualification would reduce total income to ₹1,018.08 lakh and net profit to ₹321.01 lakh, though earnings per share remain unchanged at ₹0.24.
Corporate Governance Updates
The Board reconstituted two key committees effective July 30, 2026:
- CSR Committee: Chaired by Anurag Mundra (Director and CFO), with members Nilesh Rathi (Independent Director), Vikalp Mundra (Director), and Geeta Mundra (Director).
- Nomination and Remuneration Committee: Chaired by Nilesh Rathi (Independent Director), with members Surabhi Agrawal (Independent Director), Girish Kataria (Independent Director), and Geeta Mundra (Non-Executive Director).
These changes were made in compliance with Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, and Regulation 19 of the SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015.
