Shakti Pumps Reports Q4 Revenue Growth Amid Profit Decline Due to Cost Pressures

Shakti Pumps India reported a 28.9% rise in consolidated revenue to Rs 857.8 crore in Q4 FY26, driven by a 51% increase in solar pump installations. However, net profit fell 65.2% to Rs 38.3 crore due to higher raw material and logistics costs, and lower realizations under Maharashtra's scheme. EBITDA margin declined to 9.7% from 24.6%. For FY26, net profit dropped 36.9% despite a 7.2% revenue increase. The board recommended a final dividend and approved key director reappointments, subject to shareholder approval.
