Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
During the second quarter of fiscal 2027, consolidated revenue from operations reached INR 1,408.66 crore, marking a 45.71% expansion compared to INR 966.77 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year. Total consolidated income rose to INR 1,435.94 crore from INR 992.27 crore a year ago.
Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at INR 114.52 crore, representing a 36.41% increase over INR 83.95 crore reported in Q2 FY26. Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was INR 23.30 compared to INR 17.35 in the year-ago period.
On a sequential basis, consolidated revenue rose 6.14% from INR 1,327.21 crore in Q1 FY27, while quarterly PAT moderated by 5.23% from INR 120.84 crore, reflecting seasonal monsoon patterns and continued input cost pressures.
Standalone financial highlights issued by the company noted a 16% year-on-year growth in lubricants volume, driven by robust market execution despite challenging macroeconomic conditions and supply volatility originating from West Asia.
Management highlighted that key raw material prices remained elevated due to ongoing geopolitical disruptions in West Asia, prompting calibrated pricing interventions and effective sourcing strategies to safeguard per-litre margins.
Segment performance demonstrated broad-based strength, with OEM franchise workshops, factory-fill accounts, and industrial-infrastructure-mining verticals registering double-digit volume gains, while the marine segment also contributed positively.
The subsidiary Tirex expanded its footprint across original equipment manufacturers, charge point operators, and fleet segments, recording a 78% surge in revenue from electric vehicle fast-charging infrastructure during the quarter.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented 8.1% 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 10.9% 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 ₹27.28 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.
