For the half year ended 30 September 2026, revenue was Rs 23,002.66 lakh, up 8.6%, but profit after tax fell 14.3% to Rs 263.59 lakh. EPS declined to Rs 1.21 from Rs 1.41. Net operating cash flow was negative Rs 319.65 lakh. Borrowings of Rs 12,740.15 lakh were close to equity of Rs 13,265.26 lakh. The EBITDA margin narrowed from about 4.7% to 4.1%. The limited review was unmodified.
Higher revenue did not lift profit, and the EBITDA margin narrowed. Negative operating cash flow and borrowings near equity may weigh on sentiment.
