The board approved audited financial results for Q4 and full year ended March 31, 2026. Total income grew 9.8% to ₹16,825 Lakhs from ₹15,323 Lakhs. However, profit before tax declined 5.3% to ₹6,209 Lakhs (vs ₹6,554 Lakhs), mainly due to significantly higher finance costs (₹295 Lakhs vs ₹36 Lakhs) and doubled depreciation (₹1,292 Lakhs vs ₹537 Lakhs). PAT declined 4.3% to ₹4,668 Lakhs. The company also declared a dividend of ₹0.67 per share and approved a preferential issue of equity shares to non-promoters, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. Significant capital expansion is underway with ₹17,253 Lakhs invested in property, plant and equipment during the year.
PAT declined year-on-year despite revenue growth, indicating margin pressure from higher depreciation and finance costs due to heavy debt-funded expansion. The proposed preferential issue will dilute existing shareholders. Investors should monitor the company's ability to monetize its expansion given the significant increase in borrowings from ₹2,964 Lakhs to ₹12,806 Lakhs.
