Rs 0.51 Cr PAT in Q1; Revenue up 40% YoY but Profit drops 62% on thin margins
Sarthak Industries reported a weak Q1 FY27 with Net Profit falling 62.5% YoY to Rs 0.51 cr, despite a 39.6% increase in total revenue to Rs 82.50 cr. The decline in profitability was driven by higher purchase costs and a loss in the Cylinder business segment. Trading remains the primary revenue driver, accounting for 97.6% of sales, but segment margins are under pressure. Finance costs also rose 42% YoY to Rs 0.57 cr, further impacting the bottom line.
