OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE Standalone Results
During the Financial Year 2025-26, the Company operated in a business environment marked by fluctuating steel prices, persistent pricing pressure arising from imports, and changing demand dynamics across key end-user industries. Despite these headwinds, the Company remained focused on strengthening its operational capabilities, improving efficiencies across its manufacturing facilities, and enhancing customer engagement to sustain its market position.
On a standalone basis, the Company reported Revenue from Operations of Rs. 1,79,837.62 Lacs as against Rs. 1,91,290.69 Lacs in the previous financial year. The decline in revenue was primarily attributable to softer realisations and competitive market conditions during the year.
The Company continued to emphasise operational excellence through prudent cost management, process optimisation and efficient utilisation of manufacturing resources. As a result, the Company maintained a healthy operating performance, reporting an EBITDA
of Rs. 13,870.48 Lacs during the year as compared to Rs. 14,510.22 Lacs in the previous financial year.
The Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood at Rs. 1 1,502.20 Lacs, while the Profit After Tax (PAT) amounted to Rs. 8,787.86 Lacs during FY 2025-26, as against Rs. 13,158.63 Lacs and Rs. 9,880.74 Lacs respectively, in the previous financial year. The moderation in profitability was mainly on account of lower revenues, increased finance costs and higher depreciation resulting from ongoing capital investments. Despite the challenging operating environment, the Company continued to invest in expanding its manufacturing capabilities, strengthening its product portfolio and enhancing operational efficiencies. These strategic initiatives are expected to improve capacity utilisation, support long-term growth and reinforce the Company’s competitive position in the industry.
Consolidated Results
During the Financial Year 2025-26, on a consolidated basis, the Company continued to strengthen its business operations through its diversified portfolio and strategic initiatives, while navigating a dynamic business environment characterised by volatile raw material prices, competitive market conditions and evolving customer demand.
On a consolidated basis, the Company reported Revenue from Operations of Rs. 2,13,636.36 Lacs during FY 2025-26 as compared to Rs. 1,91,631.11 Lacs in the previous financial year, registering a healthy growth of around 11.48%. Total Revenue increased to Rs. 2,14,905.07 Lacs from Rs. 1,93,875.93 Lacs in FY 2024-25, reflecting improved business performance and increased contribution from the subsidiaries.
The Group delivered a robust operating performance with EBITDA increasing to Rs. 16,710.51 Lacs from Rs. 14,540.41 Lacs in the previous financial year, representing a growth of 14.92%. The improvement in operating profitability was driven by higher revenues, improved operational efficiencies and better cost optimisation across the Group.
Profit Before Tax (PBT) increased to Rs. 13,518.07 Lacs from Rs. 13,161.20 Lacs in FY 2024-25, while Profit After Tax (PAT) improved to Rs. 10,305.71 Lacs as against Rs. 9,882.52 Lacs in the previous financial year, demonstrating the Group’s resilience and its ability to sustain profitability despite increased finance costs and depreciation associated with ongoing expansion initiatives.
EXPANSIONS AND PRODUCT EXTENSION
During the Financial Year 2025-26, the Company continued to pursue both organic and inorganic growth initiatives aimed at strengthening its manufacturing capabilities, diversifying its product portfolio and expanding into new high-growth business segments.
A key operational milestone during the year was the successful ramp-up of the Direct Forming Technology (DFT) line at the Company’s Mangaon, Maharashtra manufacturing facility. The state-of-the-art DFT technology enables the production of a wide range of structural hollow sections with enhanced precision, reduced changeover time, improved material utilisation and lower manufacturing costs. The increased acceptance of DFT products, coupled with improved capacity utilisation at the Mangaon facility, contributed significantly to the Company’s record sales volumes during FY 2025-26 and strengthened its value- added product portfolio.
During the year, the Company also successfully implemented the Resolution Plan approved by the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in respect of RCI Industries & Technologies Limited, pursuant to which the Company acquired a 95% equity stake in the entity. Subsequently, the subsidiary was renamed JTL Defence Limited, marking the Group’s strategic entry into the defence and non-ferrous alloy manufacturing business. JTL Defence Limited has completed the post-resolution restructuring process and commenced a new phase of operations under the JTL Group.
Further, during the year, Company acquired 47.97% equity stake in Powersol Metalcraft Limited, thereby making it an Associate Company. This strategic acquisition is expected to create operational synergies, strengthen the Company’s manufacturing ecosystem and support its long-term diversification strategy.
The combined impact of these strategic initiatives was reflected in the Company’s operational performance, with the Company achieving its highest-ever annual sales volume of 3,95,900 MT during FY 2025-26. The continued ramp-up of the Mangaon facility, increasing contribution from value- added products and improved export performance have further reinforced the Company’s growth trajectory and positioned it well for future expansion.
