Operating profit fell even more sharply, down 54.55% year-on-year to Rs 75 crore from Rs 165 crore, according to Univest's analysis of the company's filing — meaning profit dropped much faster than sales in the quarter.
Net profit Rs 32 crore (−34.7% YoY, vs Rs 49 crore); revenue from operations Rs 565 crore (−12.13% YoY, vs Rs 643 crore); operating profit Rs 75 crore (−54.55% YoY, vs Rs 165 crore).
Investors will watch whether revenue and margins stabilise in the next quarter. Separately, Sahi reported that the company's proposed amalgamation with Ambuja Cements continues through regulatory and judicial steps, with an NCLT Ahmedabad Bench hearing date of November 19, 2026 for the scheme.
