Basant Agro Tech India Ltd reported strong annual performance for FY2026 ending March 31. Revenue from operations grew 22.7% to Rs 56,799 Lacs from Rs 46,274 Lacs in the previous year. Profit after tax (PAT) jumped 68.2% to Rs 701.04 Lacs from Rs 416.60 Lacs. However, EBITDA margin compressed from 6.15% to 5.54% as expenses grew faster than revenue. The company declared a 5% dividend on equity shares. Significantly, operating cash flow turned negative at Rs -3,438.14 Lacs compared to positive Rs 4,389.46 Lacs in FY2025, primarily due to a large inventory buildup of Rs 6,221.65 Lacs and increase in trade receivables. Current borrowings increased substantially from Rs 9,353 Lacs to Rs 15,217 Lacs to fund working capital. Auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion.
Revenue and profit growth are positive for shareholders, but the sharp turnaround to negative operating cash flow is a concern and may weigh on sentiment. The clean audit opinion provides credibility.
