Thermax Q1 Net Profit Falls 85% Amid Project Cost Overruns and Rising Expenses
Thermax reported an 85 percent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 22-25 crore for Q1 FY27, mainly due to a Rs 91 crore project cost overrun in its Industrial Infra segment and rising expenses. Despite the profit drop, consolidated operating revenue increased by about 7 percent to approximately Rs 2,303 crore. Order booking rose 2 percent to Rs 2,809 crore, with the order backlog up 23 percent to Rs 14,045 crore. Lower export sales also affected profitability in the Industrial Products segment.
