Quarterly revenue rose 38.08 per cent year on year and quarterly EBITDA (excluding other income) came in at Rs 206.89 mn compared with Rs 147.81 mn a year earlier, yielding a quarterly EBITDA margin of 14.61 per cent.

Management attributed the order momentum to demand across steel, mining, cement, railways, power and engineering sectors and said improved execution and mix supported second half performance.

Management described FY26 as an execution-led year supported by sustained demand, operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management that underpinned margin stability and strong operating leverage. The board noted continued focus on expanding product offerings, strengthening domestic and export market presence and delivering on existing order book to convert revenue visibility into growth. Management remained optimistic about medium- to long-term prospects, citing continued industrial capex, asset refurbishment and import substitution as drivers of future demand.
