The board approved unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q1 FY26 (quarter ended 30th June, 2025). Standalone revenue from operations stood at Rs. 2,377.03 crores with profit after tax of Rs. 634.58 crores, compared to Rs. 2,412.22 crores revenue and Rs. 557.48 crores PAT in Q1 FY25. The board also approved acquisition of a 49.99% stake in Thriveni Pellets Private Limited for a total consideration of about Rs. 485.88 crores (Rs. 200 crores cash plus Rs. 285.88 crores via share swap on preferential basis), and a 19.40% stake in Mandovi River Pellets Private Limited for Rs. 16.49 crores. The board cleared a public issuance of non-convertible debentures up to Rs. 2,500 crores in tranches, and incorporation of a wholly owned subsidiary in Dubai's DMCC zone with an estimated capital outlay of around Rs. 597 crores. Additionally, 31 lakh equity shares were allotted on conversion of warrants, two new independent directors were appointed, one director was re-designated, and an EGM was scheduled for 11th September 2025. Statutory auditors issued an unqualified limited review report on both standalone and consolidated results.
The Q1 results show strong sequential recovery in profits driven by the mining segment, though YoY revenue was marginally lower. The acquisitions and Rs. 2,500 crore NCD plan signal aggressive expansion and capital raising, which could lead to equity dilution (preferential share issue) and higher debt, while the Dubai subsidiary indicates global expansion plans. Existing shareholders may see short-term dilution but longer-term growth potential from vertical integration in pellets and iron ore.
