Deccan Gold Mines' consolidated (primary) numbers for Q1 FY27 show a net loss of ₹8.73 Cr, versus a ₹28.13 Cr loss in the year-ago quarter and a swing from a ₹5.74 Cr profit in Q4 FY26. Net sales from operations were ₹0.18 Cr, down 6.8% YoY and down 69.9% sequentially (Q4 FY26 had been lifted by a large other-operating-income item); total income from operations (including that operating income line) was ₹0.60 Cr. The YoY narrowing in the loss is not revenue-led: total consolidated expenses nearly halved to ₹15.97 Cr from ₹31.37 Cr a year ago, driven mainly by employee benefits expense falling to ₹40.01 Cr from ₹175.44 Cr and finance cost falling to ₹6.14 Cr from ₹36.45 Cr, while other expenses rose to ₹66.04 Cr from ₹51.49 Cr. At the standalone (parent-only) level the company was profitable — PAT of ₹1.15 Cr on total income of ₹11.44 Cr, EPS ₹0.06 — reflecting other operating/other income booked at the parent, a materially different picture from the consolidated loss.
Q1 FY-2027 vs prior quarters
There is no analyst/street consensus available for this micro-cap exploration name, so vs-street cannot be assessed, and no management press release accompanied this filing — only the board-outcome letter, which covers corporate actions rather than results commentary. Against the FY2027 guidance given on the Q4 FY26 call (₹900 Cr revenue and 75% EBITDA margin from Jonnagiri, ₹300 Cr revenue and 30-35% PAT margin from Kyrgyzstan), this quarter is too early to judge: the first physical gold doré at the Kyrgyzstan Altyn Tor project was produced only on August 6, 2026 — after the June 30 quarter-end — so none of that ramp shows up in these numbers yet. Two other quarter-end items stand out: the auditors' Emphasis of Matter flags a ₹224.81 Cr unsecured inter-company loan to Kyrgyzstan subsidiary Avelum Partner LLC (plus ₹30.96 Cr accrued interest at 15% p.a.), with recovery contingent on Avelum reaching commercial production; and the board approved a preferential issue of CCDs, equity shares and warrants aggregating roughly ₹137.7 Cr to non-promoter investors at ₹191.90 per share/unit, pending EGM approval on September 2, 2026 — a funding round that will dilute the current ~19.87 Cr-share base once converted.
The stock went into the print at ₹215.9, up 5.4% over the past month of trading.
For context: revenue is at a 6-quarter high.
Management provided positive revenue and profit guidance for FY2027, with expected revenues of Rs.900 Crores and EBITDA of 75% from the Jonnagiri project, and Rs.300 Crores revenue and 30-35% PAT margin from the Kyrgyzstan project. They anticipate reaching peak production levels for Jonnagiri (1 ton/year) and Kyrgyzsta

Figures in filing are Rs Millions, converted to Rs Crore (÷10). Consolidated PBT-tax (-15.37 Cr) reconciles to the reported 'Total Profit/Loss for period' of -8.73 Cr via a +6.64 Cr equity-method share of profit from associates (Geomysore Services India, Kalevala Gold Finland), confirmed against the auditor's review report (Rs 63,478k + Rs 2,966k thousand = Rs 6,644k). Tax expense nil for the quarter on both bases. Consolidated PAT figure used is the 'Total Profit/Loss for period' (post-minority split), matching the convention used in our comparison-context data.
