Orient Electric Reports 79.7% Profit Increase and 23.5% Revenue Growth in Q1 FY27
Orient Electric reported a 79.7% year-on-year rise in standalone net profit to Rs 31.49 crore for the quarter ended June 2026, up from Rs 17.52 crore in the same period last year. Revenue increased 23.5% to Rs 949.76 crore, driven by growth in Electrical Consumer Durables and Lighting Switchgear segments. Despite higher expenses and an exceptional loss related to asset write-downs, the company improved EBITDA margins through cost management and portfolio mix. Shares declined slightly following the results amid ongoing commodity price concerns.
