IRB Infra Toll Revenue Up 24% YoY to ₹773 Cr in Sep 2026
IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd reported a significant 24% year-on-year growth in toll revenue for September 2026, reaching ₹773 Crores (₹7,725 Million) compared to ₹622 Crores (₹6,223 Million) in September 2025. This robust performance is attributed to healthy traffic growth driven by enhanced economic activity and the commencement of the festive season. The company's wholly-owned subsidiaries saw a 17% increase in toll revenue on a like-for-like basis. Several new projects commenced toll collection during the period, contributing to the overall revenue.

Onix Solar posts consolidated PAT of ₹1.49 Cr in Q2 FY27, reversing year-ago loss
Onix Solar Energy (formerly ABC Gas International) reported consolidated PAT of ₹1.49 Cr for Q2 FY27, against a standalone net loss of ₹0.76 Cr in Q2 FY26 — a year-on-year turnaround to profit, the anchor read for this quarter. Revenue, however, fell on both comparisons: consolidated revenue from operations of ₹32.42 Cr is down roughly 25% YoY from the year-ago standalone ₹43.37 Cr, and down about 66% sequentially from Q1 FY27's ₹94.51 Cr. Solar module manufacturing/EPC revenue is order-linked and lumpy rather than smooth quarter-to-quarter — Q1 FY27's consolidated P&L carried an outsized ₹52.76 Cr inventory drawdown that inflated that quarter's print, so this quarter's drop reads as reversion from an unusually large base rather than a fresh deterioration trend, though the scale of the sequential fall is still material. Margins moved accordingly: consolidated NPM was 4.59% and OPM (EBITDA margin) 6.93% this quarter, sharply below Q1 FY27's 22.11%/29.74% but an improvement on the year-ago quarter's negative 1.74%/1.38%. No exceptional or extraordinary items were booked in any period shown, so these are clean operating-basis moves. Standalone PAT (₹1.92 Cr) was actually higher than the consolidated figure (₹1.49 Cr) — the gap is explained by the first-time consolidation of 99%-owned subsidiary Nexgenix Solar Manufacturing Pvt Ltd, which appears to have dragged on group profit this quarter per the auditor's review note. There is no street consensus to grade this against — a web search turned up no analyst previews or brokerage estimates for this micro-cap, so vs-street is unknown. The company also has no formal prior guidance on record and no prior concall notes in our files, so there is nothing to grade the print against on that front either; management's outcome letter for this filing covered only the results approval and a proposed shift of the registered office from the Maharashtra (Mumbai) RoC to Gujarat, pending shareholder approval — an administrative item with no P&L impact this quarter. The next print should clarify whether the business is reverting to a steadier run rate: FY26 full-year consolidated revenue was ₹240.85 Cr (~₹60 Cr/quarter average), above which Q1 FY27 sat and below which Q2 FY27 now sits.

PNG Jewellers Q2 FY27 Revenue Up 22.4% YoY, Retail SSSG 25.5%

The franchise business grew 34.7% YoY, while E-commerce declined 83.6% YoY due to a strategic recalibration towards higher-margin jewellery products. The share of gold coin & bar sales in retail normalized to ~15.8%. Rakhi Sales saw strong growth of 142% in value. Gold revenue grew 23.5%, diamond 21.0%, and silver 12.0% YoY. The retail stud ratio improved to 11.8%, and old gold exchange increased to 38%. The company rebranded LiteStyle to YOOU and opened 2 new stores, bringing the total to 80.
