Key financial summary table (₹ crore)

What stands out in these disclosures

Two trends appear clearly in the reported numbers. First, revenue from operations increased in FY26 compared with FY25, and Q4 FY26 also showed year-on-year growth in both revenue from operations and PAT. Second, full-year PAT declined versus FY25 despite higher revenue, which is consistent with the reported rise in total expenses at the annual level.

The quarterly bridge shows that other income was materially higher in Q4 FY26 compared with Q4 FY25, contributing to the jump in total income for the quarter. EBITDA was reported higher year-on-year for March 2026, while EBITDA margins were largely stable at around 30.3%.

Conclusion

Paushak’s FY26 audited disclosures show higher revenue from operations at ₹218.60 crore alongside a lower full-year PAT of ₹39.33 crore. Q4 FY26 strengthened year-on-year with PAT of ₹12.51 crore and revenue from operations of ₹55.14 crore, and the Board recommended a ₹2.50 per share final dividend subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM.
