Consolidated revenue from operations grew 16.5% to Rs. 88,511.53 crores from Rs. 75,955.13 crores in FY2025. Net profit after tax surged 35.6% to Rs. 8,188.35 crores, with PAT attributable to owners at Rs. 8,165.64 crores. Basic EPS increased to Rs. 277.62 from Rs. 205.30. The Board recommended a dividend of 2400% (Rs. 240 per share of Rs. 10 face value) aggregating Rs. 7,072.32 crores. Operating margin expanded from 17% to 19%, while net profit margin improved from 8% to 9%. Debt-equity ratio improved to 0.28 from 0.31. Exceptional items included Rs. 88.48 crores for statutory impact of new labour codes and Rs. 50.07 crores for impairment. The auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion.
Strong 35.6% PAT growth and margin expansion are positive signals for shareholders. The clean audit with unmodified opinion and improved leverage ratios indicate financial health. The significant dividend payout demonstrates confidence. However, investors should note the pending CCI penalty cases (Rs. 1,872.61 crores total) disclosed as emphasis of matter.
