Cochin Shipyard Q1 Net Profit Falls 19% Amid Revenue Growth and Margin Pressure
Cochin Shipyard reported a 19.4% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 151.45 crore for Q1 FY27, despite a 2.4% rise in revenue to Rs 1,094 crore. The decline was driven by lower revenue and profits in the ship-repair segment, while shipbuilding revenue increased by nearly 60%. EBITDA fell 20% to Rs 193 crore, with margins contracting to around 17.6%. Total expenses and finance costs also rose. The company noted a fine for non-compliance with SEBI rules on board composition, with pending government appointments of independent directors.
