Revenue from operations rose to Rs 303.75 cr in Q1 FY27 (up 36% YoY from Rs 222.92 cr), aided by higher volumes. However, net profit fell sharply to Rs 6.23 cr (from Rs 12.06 cr) and PBT dropped to Rs 10.77 cr (from Rs 16.24 cr). Costs of raw materials, power and fuel, chemicals, and finance expenses all rose meaningfully. EPS stood at Rs 0.71 versus Rs 0.38 (restated). Auditor O P Bagla and Co LLP issued an unmodified limited review opinion.
Strong top-line growth overshadowed by sharp margin compression on higher input and finance costs. Mixed near-term read; watch margin recovery.
