KIOCL reported a net profit of ₹1,813 lakhs in Q3 FY26 (Oct–Dec 2025), reversing a loss of ₹4,779 lakhs in the same quarter last year, driven mainly by strong income from services (₹5,161 lakhs vs just ₹61 lakhs YoY). Total revenue for the quarter stood at ₹17,539 lakhs, down from ₹19,122 lakhs in Q3 FY25. For the nine-month period, the company still posted a loss of ₹3,682 lakhs, but this was a big improvement from the ₹16,772 lakh loss a year ago. The core Pellet Plant and Pig Iron Plant segments continued to report losses. The company also booked a one-time gratuity provision of ₹111.58 crores in Q3 after the ceiling was raised from ₹20 lakh to ₹25 lakh.
The return to quarterly profit is a positive signal, but the nine-month bottom line is still in the red and the core manufacturing segments are loss-making, so investors should track sustainability rather than just the headline turnaround. The large gratuity provision and the auditor's emphasis-of-matter on the absence of an Audit Committee (no Independent Directors) are governance red flags worth noting.
