Hindustan Aeronautics reported a 10.5% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 1,669 crore for the quarter ended September 2025 (Q2 FY26), compared to Rs 1,510 crore in the same period last year. However, the figure came in slightly below estimates of Rs 1,750 crore.
Revenue from operations increased 10.9% YoY to Rs 6,628 crore, up from Rs 5,976 crore in Q2 FY25, reflecting healthy execution across key defence contracts.
On the operational front, EBITDA stood at Rs 1,557.4 crore, down 5% YoY from Rs 1,639.6 crore last year, and below street estimates of Rs 1,860 crore. The EBITDA margin declined to 23.5%, compared to 27.4% in the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher input costs and cost overruns in certain projects.
Hindustan Aeronautics continues to play a key role in India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem, executing major projects such as the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) and the Dornier-228 aircraft, alongside engine manufacturing for the Indian Air Force and Navy.
