Signal: Growth reaccelerated
The read
The key inflection is record revenue growth of 38.3% YoY to ₹578.01 million, but EBITDA growth of only 10.9% and a 9.6% margin show that scale is not yet converting into proportional operating profit; this follows the prior quarter's 9% margin and marks a second consecutive quarter of YoY margin contraction.

P&L walk
Consolidated revenue rose 38.3% YoY to ₹578.01 million, but EBITDA increased only 10.9% to ₹55.3 million and EBIT rose 14.0% to ₹28.46 million, so operating conversion lagged the top line; PAT still grew 30.0% to ₹11.45 million.
Segments
Castings remains the core driver, contributing ₹3,758.86 million of revenue and ₹504.90 million of segment result, while the standalone parent PAT of ₹17.66 million was materially above consolidated PAT of ₹11.45 million, indicating drag below the parent level.
Key positives
- Revenue reached a record ₹578.01 million, up 38.3% YoY, supported by strong domestic demand and new business wins.
- Standalone revenue grew 44.3% YoY to ₹560.41 million and standalone PAT rose 108.5% to ₹17.66 million, materially ahead of consolidated growth.
- Finance costs declined 5.1% YoY to ₹87.45 million, while segment assets rose 6.0% YoY in line with depreciation growth of 5.4%.
Key concerns
- Consolidated EBITDA increased only 10.9% YoY to ₹55.3 million against 38.3% revenue growth, with margin at 9.6%; operating conversion remains the central thesis risk.
- Consolidated EBIT grew 14.0% YoY to ₹28.46 million, well below revenue growth, indicating that higher sales are not yet producing proportional operating profit.
- Standalone PAT of ₹17.66 million exceeded consolidated PAT of ₹11.45 million by ₹6.21 million, highlighting material drag from the broader group.
