September-quarter revenue rose 36.6% to Rs 55,823 lakh, but standalone profit after tax fell to Rs 1,864 lakh from Rs 2,256 lakh. Half-year profit doubled to Rs 7,995 lakh, while operating cash flow was negative Rs 1,417 lakh. The review flagged an Rs 730 lakh excise demand plus interest and equal penalty; duty was paid under protest; appeal is pending and no provision was made. FY2026 included Rs 186 lakh exceptional labour rules charge.
Revenue and half-year profit improved, but weaker quarterly profit, negative cash flow and excise risk could limit near-term stock performance.
