AI summary

Revenue from operations rose 13% YoY to Rs 8,930 lakhs in Q2 FY26 and to Rs 18,626 lakhs in H1 FY26. Despite growth, the company posted a loss of Rs 137 lakhs for the quarter versus a profit of Rs 104 lakhs a year ago, and Rs 66 lakhs loss for H1 versus Rs 219 lakhs profit earlier. Profit before exceptional items turned negative. An exceptional item of Rs 170 lakhs (insurance claim settlement) was recognised. Auditor flagged the May 2024 fire incident as Emphasis of Matter.

Likely market impact

Weak near-term earnings despite top-line growth as costs outpaced revenue; margin pressure and fire-related disruption remain key overhangs for the stock.
