11 Aug 2026 · Analysis by Alpha Inflection

Signal: Growth reaccelerated

The read

The operating trajectory improved sharply at the top line, with consolidated revenue growth accelerating to +20.7% YoY and gross margin expanding 233bps to 47.6%, but the thesis remains dependent on whether this margin improvement persists because PAT grew only +6.8%, finance costs rose +35.7%, and other income contributed 42.4% of PBT.

P&L walk

Consolidated revenue increased to ₹1,15,351.37 lakh, +20.7% YoY and +7.9% QoQ, gross margin expanded to 47.6% from 45.3% on a cost-of-materials and inventory basis, EBITDA rose +17.3% to ₹139.16 Cr, but PAT grew only +6.8% to ₹4,429.82 lakh because other income represented 42.4% of PBT.

Segments

There is no reportable segment split, but standalone PAT of ₹6,863.62 lakh grew +43.1% YoY versus consolidated PAT growth of +6.8%, showing that subsidiaries materially diluted group earnings conversion.

Key positives

• Consolidated revenue increased +20.7% YoY to ₹1,15,351.37 lakh, accelerating from +5.3% YoY in Q4FY26.
• Gross margin expanded 233bps YoY to 47.6%, despite cost of materials increasing to 52.1% of revenue from 51.2%; the filing does not disclose the reason.
• Standalone EBITDA rose +37.1% YoY to ₹128.41 Cr on revenue growth of +17.8%, with employee cost growing only +10.1%.

Key concerns

• Consolidated PAT growth of +6.8% lagged revenue growth of +20.7% and EBITDA growth of +17.3%, with finance costs rising +35.7% YoY.
• Standalone PAT of ₹6,863.62 lakh grew +43.1% YoY, while consolidated PAT grew only +6.8%, highlighting weak earnings conversion from subsidiaries.
• The 233bps gross-margin expansion lacks a disclosed driver and needs confirmation in subsequent quarters before being treated as structural.
