AI summary

Unaudited consolidated Q2 and H1 FY2027 results show revenue from operations of Rs 428.24 crore, up 10.7%, and profit after tax of Rs 31.92 crore versus a Rs 7.91 crore loss last year. H1 profit rose about 209% to Rs 68.89 crore, helped by no exceptional charge against Rs 44.75 crore last year. Operating cash flow was Rs 74.38 crore. Auditors highlighted the Rs 171.55 crore CCI penalty, still under appeal with no provision.

Likely market impact

Profit recovery supports sentiment, but the pending Rs 171.55 crore penalty and uncertain battery recycling costs remain major risks.
