Kamdhenu Limited achieved its highest-ever quarterly net profit of ₹286.88 crore for Q1FY27, representing a 34% year-on-year increase from ₹214.24 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company also posted its highest-ever profit before tax (PBT) of ₹364.29 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. According to the company's unaudited financial results approved by the Board on July 29, 2026, this represents a significant milestone in the steel products manufacturer's financial performance.
The company's revenue from operations increased 8.97% to ₹2,133.55 crore in Q1FY27, up from ₹1,957.78 crore recorded in the same quarter of the previous financial year. Total income reached ₹2,307.44 crore, compared to ₹2,043.96 crore in Q1FY26, driven by both higher revenue from operations and a substantial increase in other income. The results demonstrate the company's ability to expand its business operations despite challenging market conditions.
The surge in profitability was primarily fueled by a sharp rise in other income, which more than doubled to ₹173.89 crore from ₹86.18 crore year-on-year. This category included unrealized and realized gains on investments measured at fair value through profit or loss, which contributed ₹159.07 crore in the current quarter compared to ₹69.89 crore in Q1FY26. The disproportionate rise in net profit relative to revenue growth highlights the impact of non-operating income on Kamdhenu's bottom line, with the company's earnings per share (basic) standing at ₹1.02, up from ₹0.76 in the previous year's first quarter.
While cost of materials consumed increased to ₹1,474.24 crore from ₹1,298.75 crore, reflecting input cost pressures or volume growth, employee benefits expense rose moderately to ₹157.32 crore from ₹130.24 crore. Finance costs remained low at ₹2.19 crore, down significantly from ₹2.89 crore in the prior period, indicating effective debt management. The company's operating profit margin (OPM) stood at 9.89% in the June 2026 quarter, compared to 10.89% in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, reflecting the impact of higher operational costs on profitability despite strong revenue growth.
The company announced the convening of its 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) with further details to be communicated separately. The results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. With material costs rising significantly, investors will monitor how management plans to offset input cost pressures while maintaining operational efficiency levels. The company confirmed it has no subsidiaries other than Kamdhenu Jeevandhara Foundation, a Section 8 company involved in CSR activities, which is not considered material for consolidation purposes.
