Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited (KPCL) reported a sharp decline in its financial performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (Q2 FY26), as both revenue and profitability fell year-on-year amid a high base and lower project execution during the quarter.
The company’s revenue from operations fell 42% YoY to Rs 386.4 crore, compared to Rs 668.1 crore in Q2 FY25. Total income stood at Rs 393.6 crore, down from Rs 684.4 crore a year earlier.
EBITDA for Q2 FY26 stood at Rs 581 million, compared to Rs 936 million in the corresponding quarter last year — marking a 38% YoY decline. Consequently, EBITDA margin contracted to 15.37%, down from 21.73% in Q2 FY25, reflecting input cost pressure and slower realization of high-margin projects.
Despite cost optimization efforts, the company’s profit before tax dropped to Rs 57.4 crore, compared to Rs 96.2 crore a year ago. Net profit for the quarter stood at Rs 43.8 crore, down from Rs 69.1 crore in Q2 FY25, a 37% decline YoY.
For the half-year ended September 2025, KPCL reported total income of Rs 683.7 crore, down from Rs 1,352 crore in H1 FY25. The company attributed the subdued performance to deferred deliveries in its gas compression and refrigeration segments, though management expects recovery in the second half of the year as new orders ramp up.
