Consideration and approval of the Un-audited Financial Results of the Company for the quarter & half-year ended 30th September, 2025
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Hindusthan Urban Infrastructure Limited reported Q2 FY26 revenue from operations of ₹6,919 lakhs, up about 19% year-on-year from ₹5,818 lakhs, driven mainly by the High Tension Insulators segment. However, the company swung to a net loss of ₹4,330 lakhs for the quarter, against a profit of ₹2,729 lakhs in Q2 FY25, almost entirely because of a one-time exceptional charge of ₹4,630 lakhs from selling its stake in subsidiary Hindusthan Speciality Chemicals to DCM Shriram (deal completed on 25 August 2025). Stripping out the exceptional item, the company actually turned around to a profit of ₹384 lakhs from a loss of ₹218 lakhs a year ago, with EBITDA margins expanding sharply on better insulator pricing and lower finance costs. For the half-year, revenue rose about 11.5% to ₹13,298 lakhs, but a net loss of ₹4,348 lakhs was reported. The statutory auditor K.N. Gutgutia & Co. issued a clean limited review report with no qualifications or emphasis-of-matter language.
The headline net loss is likely to dent short-term sentiment, but the underlying business is clearly improving with strong topline growth and expanding margins in the core insulator segment. Investors should track the still-pending settlements around the ₹3,980 lakh escrow for tax and GIDC demands, and the ongoing negotiation with DCM Shriram over transition-period losses at the divested subsidiary.
