01 · Business model
What does Krishna Defence and Allied Industries do?
Krishna Defence and Allied Industries Limited operates as a specialized engineering and manufacturing enterprise catering primarily to the defence sector, supplying critical systems, components, and special steel alloys to the Indian Navy, Indian Army, and major public and private shipyards.
The company maintains vertically integrated manufacturing operations anchored by facilities in Gujarat, including its foundry and fabrication unit in Halol for defence products and its Kalol plant for dairy equipment and metal stampings.
Beyond its core naval shipbuilding sections and specialized steel profiles, the company has diversified into dairy equipment—such as milk cooling tanks, milking machines, and automated robotic collection units—providing a secondary revenue stream alongside its defence portfolio.
In alignment with national indigenisation mandates and Make in India initiatives, Krishna Defence collaborates closely with research organizations like the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and its divisions for technology transfers and the domestic development of specialized import-substituted military hardware.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented 20.1% of reported quarterly operating revenue. This is a calculated net-profit-to-sales ratio, not a company-reported operating margin. It measures the outcome after expenses and tax; it does not, by itself, establish how margins changed versus another period.
Profit before tax was equivalent to 26.6% of quarterly operating revenue. The distinction between pre-tax and post-tax profit matters when interpreting earnings; neither ratio identifies an underlying cost driver without a properly matched comparative period.
Total income exceeded operating revenue by ₹2.65 crore. This is the disclosed difference between the two lines, not incremental sales. The distinction matters when assessing how much of the quarter’s reported income came from the operating top line.
Ratios above are calculated from the reported quarterly figures. They are analytical descriptions, not company-reported margin guidance or an investment recommendation.
