Sandeep Rao,

MD & CEO

We commenced FY26 with a clear objective: to pivot the business from a phase of reset to one characterized by sustainable, scalable, and reliable growth . Whilst our transformation journey remains intact, our financial performance during this quarter was primarily impacted by short-term disruptions arising from an unscheduled operational shutdown at Mangalore on account of facility upgradation resulting in delayed deliveries and reduced sales volumes during the quarter.

While these factors influenced current quarter results, they are transitory. The underlying fundamentals of the business remain strong, supported by a resilient operating model, robust compliance framework, and a diversified portfolio across key markets.

  • Regulated Markets constitute 75% of our total revenues in Q2’26 (Q1’26 - 77%; Q2’25 – 76%)

  • Operational challenges led to deferred deliveries of higher Gross margin products (Revenues of ~INR 300-350mn with Gross margins of ~INR 180-200mn), hence impacting the Gross margins for the current quarter.

Regulated markets and a healthy product mix continue to be a hallmark of the business. We are also actively working to strengthen the balance sheet, aiming to reduce debt through a combination of rights issue and operating leverage, resulting in a lighter and healthier financial position

  • Operating costs for the current quarter was impacted by certain one-time costs of ~INR 40mn primarily related to unscheduled operational shutdown at Mangalore on account of facility upgradation.
