Q1 profit came with a non-operating contribution
EKC reported consolidated net profit of Rs 30.16 cr on revenue of Rs 346.31 cr in Q1FY27. Other income of Rs 10.15 cr contributed alongside profit before tax of Rs 38.54 cr, so the quarter's earnings were not derived solely from operations. The filing was made after market close on 13 Aug 2026.

Tax absorbed 21.74% of pre-tax profit
Tax was Rs 8.38 cr, equivalent to a 21.74% tax rate, leaving consolidated net profit of Rs 30.16 cr. There is no prior-quarter or year-earlier tax comparison to assess whether the rate helped or hurt profit growth. No management commentary or market-reaction history was provided with the results.
