AI summary

Revenue from operations for H1 FY26 rose to Rs 24,530.08 lakhs from Rs 14,692.50 lakhs, up about 67% year on year. Q2 FY26 revenue was Rs 13,796.50 lakhs versus Rs 9,000.32 lakhs in Q2 FY25. Standalone profit before tax for H1 FY26 grew to Rs 551.86 lakhs from Rs 270.25 lakhs. Consolidated PAT jumped to Rs 399.29 lakhs from Rs 203.30 lakhs, nearly doubling. However, operating cash flow stayed negative at about minus Rs 2,145.84 lakhs, driven mainly by a sharp Rs 9,908 lakh jump in inventory.

Likely market impact

Strong top-line and profit growth are positive, but persistent negative operating cash flow and rising inventory signal working capital strain. Watch quality of earnings ahead.
