AI summary

Q2 FY26 revenue rose 6.4% to Rs 702.61 crore and profit 15.5% to Rs 12.06 crore; EPS Rs 0.57. H1 revenue rose 4.0% to Rs 1,471.69 crore and profit 19.4% to Rs 29.58 crore, but operating cash flow was negative Rs 41.70 crore versus positive Rs 19.34 crore. H1 margin before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation improved to 6.05% from 5.82%, while Q2 margin slipped to 5.75% from 6.03%. A new Rs 51.59 crore tax demand is contested.

Likely market impact

Profit growth is positive, but negative operating cash flow and a new Rs 51.59 crore tax demand may weigh on sentiment.
