Poultry Healthcare grew 18%. Consolidated PAT jumped 71% to INR 143.31M and H1 FY26 consolidated PAT nearly doubled to INR 316.27M, driven by Hester Africa profitability and forex.

Likely market impact

Mixed results - standalone weak on government order delays, but consolidated strong on Hester Africa. Recovery in H2 hinges on resumption of institutional orders.
