Separately, the firm reported consolidated net profit rose 83.77 per cent to Rs 138.2 mn in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with Rs 75.2 mn in the year earlier quarter. Revenue from operations increased 10.31 per cent year on year to Rs 1.6857 billion (bn) for the quarter ended 31 December 2025. The company attributed the rise to higher project execution and improvements in operational efficiency. Margins improved as fixed costs were spread over higher volumes during the quarter.

The stock market reaction was modest as shares declined by one point six eight per cent to end at Rs 129.05 on the BSE. Trading volumes were not disclosed in the release and market commentators interpreted the fall as a routine correction following the earnings update.
