Premier Explosives Limited has released the transcript of its conference call pertaining to the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The call, hosted by Stellar IR Advisors Private Limited on February 20, 2026, featured insights from Managing Director Mr. T.V. Chowdary and Chief Financial Officer Mr. Vijay Kumar.
Mr. Chowdary highlighted that the company's performance in Q3 FY26 demonstrated disciplined execution across its defense and explosives segments, despite a dynamic operating environment. He noted that the year-on-year moderation was due to an elevated base in the corresponding prior period, which included higher dispatches of chaffs and flares, and also due to execution timing. The underlying demand and operational momentum remain strong, supported by a healthy order book of ₹1,294 crores, representing 3.1x of FY25 revenue. A significant development during the quarter was securing a major order worth ₹429 crores from the Ministry of Defense for chaffs and flares for the Indian Air Force in October.
Financially, for Q3 FY26, Premier Explosives reported revenue from operations at ₹81.4 crores, with an operating profit of ₹11.6 crores and an operating margin of 14.3%. The net profit stood at ₹6 crores, with a PAT margin of 7.4%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, revenue from operations was ₹299.1 crores, operating profit was ₹39.1 crores, and net profit was ₹39.2 crores.

During the Q&A, management discussed the status of new orders, including the ₹430 crore chaffs and flares order, and the expansion of RDX and HMX production at Katepally, expected to contribute ₹150-200 crores in revenue in FY27. They also addressed potential revenue in FY27 from the chaffs and flares order, with approximately 50% to be executed within one year. The company is targeting ₹500-550 crores for FY26, acknowledging potential delays in inspections and deliveries. Future capex for FY27 is planned at approximately ₹60 crores for expansions at Katepally and PDK plants, including RDX and HMX capacity.
