Patil Automation H1 FY27 income rises 36%, net profit 48%

Patil Automation Limited reported consolidated total income of Rs 100.45 crore for H1 FY27 ended September 30, 2026, up 36.20% year on year, while consolidated net profit rose 47.84% to Rs 11.14 crore. Profit growth exceeded income growth, and consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) margin increased 177 basis points to 19.39%.

How did PAL perform in H1 FY27?

PAL reported higher consolidated total income, EBITDA and net profit in H1 FY27, with total income rising to Rs 100.45 crore from Rs 73.75 crore in H1 FY26. The company’s press-release headline described the increase as 37%, while the performance table reported the precise year-on-year increase as 36.20%.

Consolidated EBITDA rose 49.90% to Rs 19.48 crore in H1 FY27 from Rs 12.99 crore a year earlier. Consolidated net profit increased 47.84% to Rs 11.14 crore from Rs 7.54 crore. Both EBITDA and net profit therefore grew faster than total income during the half year ended September 30, 2026.

PAL’s H1 FY27 total income of Rs 100.45 crore was more than half of its FY26 total income of Rs 172.79 crore. Its H1 FY27 EBITDA of Rs 19.48 crore was below the FY26 figure of Rs 30.65 crore, while H1 FY27 net profit of Rs 11.14 crore compared with FY26 net profit of Rs 19.07 crore. The release provides no quarterly H1 split or FY27 full-year forecast.

Why did PAL's consolidated margins improve?

PAL’s consolidated EBITDA margin improved to 19.39% in H1 FY27 from 17.62% in H1 FY26, an expansion of 177 basis points. A basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point, making the reported increase equivalent to 1.77 percentage points.

The margin movement accompanied EBITDA growth of 49.90%, compared with total-income growth of 36.20%. PAL calculates EBITDA on total income, rather than on revenue alone, according to the performance table. The disclosure does not provide cost, pricing, project-mix or subsidiary-level details that would identify the individual causes of the margin change.

Consolidated net profit margin also increased to 11.09% in H1 FY27 from 10.22% in H1 FY26, a gain of 87 basis points. Net profit rose by Rs 3.60 crore year on year, from Rs 7.54 crore to Rs 11.14 crore, while total income increased by Rs 26.70 crore over the same comparison.

How did PAL's standalone results compare with consolidated results?

PAL’s standalone total income grew faster than consolidated total income in H1 FY27, increasing 41.42% to Rs 104.01 crore from Rs 73.55 crore. Consolidated total income increased 36.20% to Rs 100.45 crore from Rs 73.75 crore during the same H1 FY26 comparison.

Standalone EBITDA rose 39.18% to Rs 18.04 crore from Rs 12.96 crore, and standalone net profit grew 38.23% to Rs 10.40 crore from Rs 7.53 crore. These rates were below the consolidated EBITDA increase of 49.90% and consolidated net-profit increase of 47.84%.

Standalone EBITDA margin declined by 28 basis points to 17.34% from 17.62%, while standalone net profit margin decreased by 23 basis points to 10.00% from 10.23%. This differed from the consolidated outcome, where EBITDA margin rose 177 basis points and net profit margin rose 87 basis points. PAL increased its stake in Mii Robotics to 70% during the half, but did not quantify that entity’s contribution to income, EBITDA or profit.

What capacity, client and funding steps did PAL report?

PAL commissioned a 15,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Faridabad during H1 FY27 to strengthen its presence in North India and expand manufacturing capability. The company also disclosed three manufacturing facilities at MIDC Chakan, Pune, spanning about 2 lakh square feet, and a 13,000-square-foot Advanced Design Hub in Pune.

PAL said it secured a strategic spot-welding line project from a leading Tier-1 customer, added more than five defence-sector clients and executed automation projects for high-demand artillery-shell production. It also onboarded more than 10 new clients across electric vehicles, automotive and defence. The announcement does not name customers or provide contract values, order-book values or delivery schedules for these projects.

PAL completed a Rs 95.95 crore preferential-issue allotment through equity shares and convertible warrants to support business expansion and capacity enhancement. The company did not state how the Rs 95.95 crore would be divided among the Faridabad facility, Mii Robotics, working capital or individual projects.

Managing Director Manoj Patil said the 70% Mii Robotics stake adds depth to PAL’s robotics capabilities, while PAL Green Energy addresses solar trackers, module assembly lines and battery energy storage system (BESS) automation. He also said engineering teams are pursuing opportunities in defence, railways and data-centre energy storage. These are management-stated opportunities and plans, not reported H1 FY27 revenue, order values or targets.

What does PAL provide to customers?

PAL describes itself as an automation-solutions provider serving automotive and non-automotive industries since its 2015 founding in Pune. Its stated services include design, manufacturing, testing, installation, modification and maintenance of automation systems for automotive, electric vehicles, defence, construction equipment, renewable energy, white goods and general engineering.

The company’s portfolio includes welding lines, assembly lines, special purpose machines and material-handling systems. PAL said it has delivered automation projects in more than 10 countries and has a domestic presence in Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka and other manufacturing hubs. The H1 FY27 release does not provide sector-wise income, export income or product-wise order data.

Conclusion

PAL’s H1 FY27 disclosure shows consolidated profit and EBITDA increasing faster than total income, alongside a 177-basis-point rise in consolidated EBITDA margin to 19.39%. The comparison with standalone figures shows a different margin pattern: standalone total income rose 41.42%, but standalone EBITDA margin declined 28 basis points to 17.34%.

The next developments to watch are PAL’s use of the Rs 95.95 crore preferential issue, the operating development of the 15,000-square-foot Faridabad facility and the financial contribution of its 70% Mii Robotics stake. Management has also identified solar, BESS, defence, railways and data-centre energy storage as pursuit areas, but the release gives no revenue target, order-book figure or delivery timetable for those activities.
