Electrosteel Castings Q4FY26 Consolidated PAT at ₹16 Crore, FY26 PAT at ₹161 Crore
Electrosteel Castings reported Q4FY26 consolidated PAT of ₹16 crore, down 90.5% YoY. FY25-26 consolidated PAT was ₹161 crore, down 77.2% YoY. Total income declined in Q4FY26 and FY25-26 due to muted demand. The company expects demand to recover by Q2FY27, driven by the Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0.
The substantial decrease in financial results and operational volumes warrants a medium impact. However, the positive outlook and government initiatives provide some mitigation.
The company reported significant year-on-year declines in revenue, EBITDA, and PAT for both the quarter and the full financial year, indicating a negative financial performance.
Electrosteel Castings Limited (ECL) announced its audited consolidated and standalone financial results for the fourth quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a consolidated total income of ₹1,530 crore for Q4FY26, a decline of 12.0% year-on-year. For the full financial year FY25-26, consolidated total income stood at ₹6,133 crore, down 17.6% YoY.
Consolidated EBITDA for Q4FY26 was ₹99 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 6.5%. For FY25-26, consolidated EBITDA was ₹574 crore, a significant decrease of 50.5% YoY, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 9.4%. Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter was ₹16 crore, a substantial drop of 90.5% YoY. For the full year, consolidated PAT was ₹161 crore, down 77.2% YoY. The FY25-26 PAT includes a provision of ₹38 crore made in compliance with the new labor code.
On a standalone basis, total income declined by 23.3% YoY to ₹1,228 crore in Q4FY26 and by 23.6% YoY to ₹5,228 crore in FY25-26. Standalone EBITDA for Q4FY26 was ₹57 crore, and for FY25-26, it was ₹499 crore, a 55.2% decrease YoY. Standalone PAT for Q4FY26 was a loss of ₹11 crore, and for FY25-26, it was ₹131 crore.
The company's physical performance also saw a decline, with DI pipes, Fittings, and CI Pipes volume at 1.48 lakh tons in Q4FY26, down from 1.89 lakh tons in Q4FY25. For FY25-26, volumes were 5.84 lakh tons compared to 7.81 lakh tons in FY24-25.
Looking ahead, ECL anticipates demand restoration by the early second quarter of FY2026-27. The government's approval of Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0 with an enhanced budget outlay of approximately ₹8.69 lakh crore up to December 2028 is expected to create substantial medium-to-long-term demand opportunities for the Ductile Iron pipe industry.
