Ador Welding Limited commenced FY27 with consolidated revenue from operations reaching INR 309.46 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2026. Company disclosures in the investor presentation attribute this performance to healthy order inflows and strong demand momentum carried over from FY26 across both domestic and export channels.
