Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Blue Star Limited delivered revenue from operations of INR 3377.92 crores for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, supported by steady demand across key segments despite facing multiple external headwinds.
The operating profit (EBITDA excluding other income) came in at INR 174.95 crores, yielding an operating margin of 5.2%. Profit before tax stood at INR 125.62 crores, while net profit for the period was recorded at INR 102.51 crores.
The quarter's performance was impacted by an unprecedented escalation in commodity prices, currency depreciation, and a delayed onset coupled with an abrupt end of the summer season, which created inventory pile-up challenges for room air conditioners in the trade channel.
The Electro-Mechanical Projects and Commercial Air Conditioning Systems segment achieved healthy revenue expansion, powered by robust order inflows for data center MEP projects, although order finalizations in other commercial office and factory segments remained muted due to cost escalations.
The Unitary Products segment witnessed solid top-line growth in room air conditioners, though bottom-line margins compressed due to unabsorbed input cost increases and subdued market operating prices.
The company maintained a healthy liquidity profile, closing the quarter with a net cash position of INR 900.25 crores, bolstered by an improvement in working capital management.
Carried-forward order book stood higher at INR 7764.38 crores, providing good revenue visibility for the medium term, particularly from industrial and data center infrastructure demand.

04 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Segment revenue grew by 15.1% to INR 1625.05 crores, driven by strong order bookings and execution momentum in data center MEP projects.
Revenue from the Unitary Products segment increased by 12.7% to INR 1689.31 crores, backed by investments in advertising, trade schemes, and consumer finance offers supporting tertiary sales.
What drove margins
Margins across product lines were impacted by an unprecedented escalation in commodity prices and depreciation of the Indian Rupee, which could not be fully passed on through primary selling prices.
Unitary Products segment result declined to INR 49.69 crores (2.9% of segment revenue) due to pressure to liquidate old room AC trade inventory at subdued market prices.
05 · Demand, customers & order book
Where demand is coming from
The carried-forward order book as of June 30, 2026, grew by 13.5% year-over-year to INR 7764.38 crores, up from INR 6843.04 crores a year ago.
The projects business experienced strong order inflows primarily driven by investments in data centers, counterbalancing sluggishness in general commercial offices and factories.
06 · Segments, products & geography
Which parts of the business are doing the work
Segments and products
Segment revenue reached INR 1625.05 crores with a segment result of INR 110.22 crores. Data center investments drove project bookings, while commercial refrigeration faced muted demand from ice cream OEMs.
Revenue declined by 9.7% to INR 63.56 crores due to continued policy and regulatory uncertainties in the MedTech Solutions business, offsetting steady growth in Industrial Solutions.

Tax expense for the quarter decreased to INR 32.08 crores from INR 42.41 crores in Q1FY26.
09 · Pressure points & risks
What is not going smoothly
