Signal: Margin expansion
The read

Key positives
- Consolidated revenue reached ₹5,487.46 million, +16.0% YoY, accelerating from the +8.3% to +9.0% growth reported in the last two quarters of FY26.
- Gross margin expanded 160bps YoY to 47.2%, with cost of materials consumed declining to 53.1% of revenue from 54.7%; the filing does not identify whether this was input-cost, pricing or mix-led.
- EBITDA margin expanded 270bps YoY to 14.7%, the strongest margin level in the recent series after 12.0% in Q1FY26.
- PAT rose 25.5% YoY to ₹387.62 million and EPS rose 24.8% to ₹1.26, broadly tracking one another.
Key concerns
- Other expenses increased 24.5% YoY to ₹1,072.42 million, materially faster than revenue growth of 16.0%, which could limit further margin expansion if sustained.
- Depreciation increased 21.9% YoY to ₹259.45 million, faster than revenue, while the filing does not provide fixed-asset or CWIP data to assess whether new capacity is coming on stream.
- The filing discloses ₹41.46 million revenue and ₹4.19 million net loss from two subsidiaries whose interim information was not reviewed, although management states these subsidiaries are not material.
