Revenue from operations rose to Rupees 17,204.50 crore, up from Rupees 14,462.39 crore a year ago, though slightly lower than Rupees 17,612.62 crore reported in the previous quarter.
Total income stood at Rupees 17,235.20 crore in Q4 FY26, compared to Rupees 17,642.89 crore in Q3 FY26 and Rupees 14,501.52 crore in Q4 FY25. Total expenses increased to Rupees 16,267.09 crore from Rupees 13,713.00 crore a year ago, reflecting higher procurement and operating costs, though they declined marginally from the previous quarter. Profit before tax came in at Rupees 968.11 crore, up 22.8 percent year-on-year but down 21.7 percent sequentially.
Sequential performance was impacted by higher inventory adjustments and operating costs.
