Price around the results
Revenue growth converted into a larger operating gain
In consolidated Q2FY27 results, revenue increased 32.47% sequentially, while operating profit rose 96.25% to Rs 29.79 cr. The sharper profit growth reflects operating leverage: expenses grew 16.47%, well below revenue growth. Net profit consequently increased 122.49% to Rs 20.58 cr.
Margin expansion came mainly from cost control
Operating margin widened 9.66 percentage points to 29.74% because revenue grew faster than expenses. Interest expense fell 6.25% sequentially, while depreciation rose 10.03%, so the margin improvement was primarily operational rather than driven by lower depreciation. Other income contributed 4.09% of pre-tax profit, making it a limited part of reported profit quality.
Tax rate added to the sequential profit increase
The tax rate declined 5.08 percentage points to 20.59%, providing an additional lift to net profit beyond the operating improvement. The 29.74% operating margin was 18.20 percentage points above the 11.54% median among 208 Industrials peers that had reported the quarter. The available quarter-on-quarter trend shows a sharp increase from the 20.08% margin recorded in Q1FY27.
