Tube Investments of India Limited reported a strong set of consolidated results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with total net profit nearly doubling year-on-year to ₹234.01 crore from ₹158.19 crore in Q4 FY25 — an 84% jump — driven by a sharp improvement in operating performance and significant EBITDA margin expansion.
Revenue from operations for Q4 FY26 rose 20% year-on-year to ₹6,214.74 crore from ₹5,149.96 crore in Q4 FY25. Total income including other income stood at ₹6,331.83 crore against ₹5,308.21 crore in the year-ago quarter. On a sequential basis, revenue grew 7.1% from ₹5,800.99 crore in Q3 FY26.
EBITDA: The standout number
EBITDA for Q4 FY26 came in at approximately ₹580 crore — a 66% surge from ₹350 crore in Q4 FY25. EBITDA margin expanded sharply to 9.4% from 6.54% in the year-ago quarter — a 286 basis point improvement reflecting strong operating leverage as revenues scaled and cost efficiency improved. Profit before exceptional items and tax stood at ₹508.95 crore against ₹341.69 crore in Q4 FY25, a 49% year-on-year jump. Profit before tax after exceptional items of ₹10.97 crore came in at ₹497.98 crore versus ₹333.61 crore in Q4 FY25.
Total expenses for the quarter rose to ₹5,822.79 crore from ₹4,966.49 crore — a 17.2% increase, meaningfully below the 20% revenue growth rate, confirming the operating leverage that drove margin expansion. Cost of materials consumed was the largest expense line at ₹3,826.30 crore, while employee benefits expense rose to ₹614.60 crore from ₹476.68 crore.
Full-year FY26 performance
For the full year ended March 31, 2026, Tube Investments delivered total revenue from operations of ₹22,847.43 crore against ₹19,464.65 crore in FY25 — a 17.4% increase. Total income for the year stood at ₹23,234.64 crore versus ₹19,835.71 crore. Full-year profit after tax from continuing operations reached ₹1,116.27 crore from ₹1,054.29 crore in FY25, with total profit including discontinued operations at ₹1,118.22 crore. Profit before tax for the full year came in at ₹1,850.53 crore against ₹1,653.20 crore in FY25 — a 11.9% increase.
What drove the Q4 turnaround?
The sharp improvement in EBITDA margin — from 6.54% to 9.4% in a single year — reflects improved product mix, operating leverage on higher volumes across Tube Investments’ diversified engineering and manufacturing businesses spanning tubes and strips, mobility products, and its CG Power subsidiary. The deceleration in expense growth relative to revenue growth is the clearest indicator of the operational efficiency gains that characterise the Q4 FY26 performance.
An exceptional charge of ₹10.97 crore impacted the quarter’s PBT — a modest amount relative to the scale of underlying operational improvement — and a loss on fair valuation of compulsorily convertible preference shares of ₹6.70 crore was also recorded in the quarter.
