GHCL Limited reported Q2 FY26 standalone revenue from operations of ₹721.29 crores, down about 9% from ₹792.79 crores in Q2 FY25, with H1 FY26 revenue at ₹1,517.16 crores versus ₹1,623.28 crores in H1 FY25. Net profit for Q2 fell sharply to ₹107.36 crores (from ₹154.73 crores, a drop of roughly 31%) and H1 profit came in at ₹252.14 crores versus ₹305.28 crores last year. Profit before tax margin compressed to about 20% from nearly 25% a year ago, driven by higher power, fuel and other expenses. The Board approved a share buyback of up to ₹300 crore at ₹725 per share (about 4.31% of paid-up capital) with record date November 14, 2025, and also received approval for a 20-year renewal of its lignite mining lease valid until December 8, 2043. Total outstanding debt stood at ₹117.53 crores with no defaults, and the statutory auditor issued an unmodified limited review report.
Weaker top line and a sharp fall in quarterly profit point to near-term earnings pressure, but the ₹300 crore buyback at ₹725 supports the stock price and rewards non-promoter shareholders. The renewed mining lease is a positive for long-term raw material security, while a potential mining tax liability from the Supreme Court ruling remains a key monitorable.
