Revenue from operations decreased by 7.8 per cent year on year to Rs 8,320.6 mn in the quarter ended 31 December 2025. Management said the operational focus remains on order execution and supply chain management while pursuing new contracts.

The scrip declined by 1.24 per cent to Rs 588.70 on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The company will proceed to convert the LOI into a final purchase order before commencing manufacturing. Investors will watch order flows and quarterly performance for signs of recovery. Analysts will assess delivery timelines and cost implications for profit margins.
