BEPL Q1: consolidated PAT +43% YoY to ₹65.6 Cr as revenue surges 53%, NPM slips

Bhansali Engineering Polymers reported a strong first quarter of FY27 on a consolidated basis, with revenue from operations up 53.3% year-on-year to ₹472.15 Cr (from ₹307.91 Cr) and net profit up 42.9% to ₹65.60 Cr (from ₹45.89 Cr). Sequentially, revenue rose 38.2% and PAT 27.1% over Q4 FY26's ₹341.61 Cr / ₹51.60 Cr. Basic EPS came in at ₹2.64 versus ₹1.84 a year ago. The standalone print is materially the same story — PAT ₹65.14 Cr, EPS ₹2.62 — with the ₹0.46 Cr gap being the equity-method share of joint venture Bhansali Nippon A&L; the two bases do not diverge.

The topline surge was volume/trading-led rather than pure ABS demand: purchase of stock-in-trade jumped roughly 3.9x YoY to ₹75.14 Cr (from ₹19.50 Cr) and cost of materials consumed rose to ₹265.93 Cr (from ₹181.86 Cr). Because the incremental traded volume carries thinner margins, profit grew slower than revenue — net margin eased to 13.89% from 14.37% a year ago and 14.66% last quarter, so PAT growth (+43%) trailed revenue growth (+53%). There are no exceptional or one-off items on either side, so reported and adjusted growth are identical. Other income was slightly lower YoY at ₹9.75 Cr (vs ₹11.36 Cr), and finance costs remain negligible (₹0.09 Cr), reflecting a near-debt-free balance sheet.

The stock went into the print at ₹113.1, up 11.4% over the past month of trading.

For context: this is the highest quarterly PAT in the last 6 quarters on our records; PAT has now risen for 3 consecutive quarters; revenue is at a 6-quarter high.

The company gives no formal guidance and no brokerage consensus/preview exists for this small-cap, so the print cannot be benchmarked against a street number. Alongside the results the board declared a Re.1/- (100%) first interim dividend for FY27 (record date 23 July 2026), consistent with its steady payout posture. The read-through into next quarter is a genuinely higher revenue run-rate, but with the margin mix now leaning more on lower-value traded goods — the key thing to watch is whether that mix normalises or continues to dilute profitability.
