Quarter Snapshot
Q2 FY27 delivered 69.0% YoY revenue growth to Rs.3,518.92 Cr and 79.8% PAT growth to Rs.650.04 Cr, with EBITDA margin of 28.57% inside management's 28-29% FY27 band and H1 annualized revenue tracking 2.67% above the Rs.14,000 Cr guidance. Margin pass-through held despite ammonium-nitrate inflation, and leverage of 0.59x net debt/H1 EBITDA leaves headroom for the pending ~USD 1.35 bn Omnia acquisition. Watch items are cash conversion (CFO/PAT 0.69x), the growing Turkish hyperinflation charge, and the H2 capex step-up required under the Rs.2,050 Cr plan.
Q2 FY27 Expectations vs Results

|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | "likely ahead on a very weak base" (monsoon-hit Q2FY26) | +69.00% YoY (Rs.3,518.92 Cr) | Played out |

| Defence run-rate | "the guidance line most at risk"; needs a step-up from Q1's Rs.933 Cr | Single-segment disclosure — not observable in the filing | Not observable |
| Inventory gain promised in May '26 | Watch whether it shows up | Filing shows a further Rs.(106.12) Cr build, no disclosed gain — not addressed in the filing; remains open for the call | Not observable |
| Omnia debt drawn post-Sep 14 would show in later filings | "would only show in later filings" | Borrowings Rs.1,704.65 Cr vs Rs.1,467.84 Cr at Mar-26; no bulk deal debt visible | Played out |
| Omnia completion-timeline update | "which completion timeline management now guides to" | Filing repeats only "subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals" — remains open for the call | Not observable |
