Virat Crane Q1 Revenue Grows 10% to ₹44.68 Cr; Net Loss Narrows to ₹0.97 Cr
Virat Crane Industries reported a 10.3% YoY increase in revenue to ₹44.68 Cr for Q1 FY27, up from ₹40.50 Cr. Despite the growth, the company remains loss-making with a net loss of ₹0.97 Cr, primarily due to high operational and depreciation costs from its new Adawinekkalam plant. Management has explicitly guided for an operational breakeven by Q3 FY 2026-27 as capacity utilization improves. The company maintains a strong promoter holding of 74.5%, providing some stability during this transition phase.
