The company reported a 96 per cent year-on-year surge in consolidated net profit to Rs 64.1 mn for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, while revenue from operations declined nine point two per cent to Rs 1,268.6 mn compared with the same period a year earlier.

The company's stock on the BSE fell one point one nine per cent to end at Rs 46.57. Market participants noted that the stock market remained shut on account of Shri Ram Navami on the day of the report.
