KRBL Q1 results
In April to June 2025 quarter (Q1FY26), KRBL has reported a 32 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) increase in revenue at ₹1,584 crore. Export revenue grew by 98 per cent on account of growth in private label sales. Domestic revenue grew by 15 per cent. Domestic revenue is driven by robust volume growth in the branded business. Realisation sustained despite moderation in rice prices, the company said.
Gross profit jumped 46.6 per cent Y-o-Y at ₹415 crore, margins improved to 25.7 per cent from 23.2 per cent in Q1FY25. Gross margin mainly benefited from lower average basmati cost of goods sold (COGS).
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) jumped 61.9 per cent Y-o-Y at ₹225 crore; margins expanded 250 bps to 13.9 per cent from 11.4 per cent in the year-ago quarter.
ICRA rating on KRBL
Over the medium term, the growth in domestic sales for the company is likely to remain supported by the strong demand from metro cities, along with an increase in demand for basmati rice from tier-1 and tier-2 cities. Additionally, due to an improvement in the standard of living, there is a shift of customers from non-branded rice to branded rice in India. Further, steady contribution from its renewable energy generation business segment continues to aid its profit margins to an extent, according to ICRA.
The company's facilities are located in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, ensuring easy access to the key raw material, i.e., paddy, which is procured during the harvest season (October to January).

Tariff Shock: $7 bn India–US auto parts trade braces for big impact
The US's new tariffs on Indian auto components are set to cause immediate disruption, with analysts and industry experts warning that 15-20 per cent of India's exports to its largest auto-parts market could be lost in the short term, ToI reported. The US accounts for 27 per cent of India's auto component exports, meaning around 8 per cent of the country's total production will be directly affected, said Jitin Makkar, group head and senior vice-president (corporate ratings) at ICRA . According to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA), exports to the US stood at nearly $7 billion in 2024. Of this, $3.6 billion worth of parts and components for cars and small trucks will now attract a 25 per cent duty. The bigger hit will come from the remaining $3 billion, which includes commercial vehicle parts, construction equipment components, off-highway machinery, and tractor and farm equipment parts, all of which will face a reciprocal tariff of 50 per cent. While larger original equipment manufacturers are already exploring alternative markets, the impact will be most severe for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that make up the bulk of the sector. Noble Cast Comp, an aluminium casting manufacturer in Bhosari, sends 60 per cent of its products to the US. Its chairman and managing director, Nitin Bhagwat, said American customers were already asking the company to share the tariff burden, which would squeeze profit margins. In Pimpri Chinchwad, R K Industries exports computer numerical control machined components to global auto firms, with 20 per cent of its shipments going to the US. 'Effects are expected to be felt from next month, with US customers likely seeking price reductions due to increased landing costs and clients may also explore alternative suppliers from countries with lower costs,' said the company's operations head, Nilesh Khaire. The effective duty rates will range from 25-28 per cent to 45-50 per cent, depending on the product category, and the extent of the impact will vary based on how essential the exported component is. Ravindra Patki, managing partner at Vector Consulting Group, said, '30-40 per cent of India's auto component exports to the US comes from programmes in which India is one of multiple approved suppliers with a defined share of business.' For larger exportable parts, Indian suppliers will be at a disadvantage compared with exporters from countries such as Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia, which face lower tariffs of 15-19 per cent. Component makers say much will depend on their individual ties with US buyers. Sipra Engineering managing director M Umadi said, 'US customers, accounting for 28-32 per cent of exports, have assured support if we maintain cost, quality and delivery standards, but may request cost reductions later.'

Startup IPOs deliver only 36% long-term return for investors: Report
Investors in initial public offerings (IPOs) of new-age tech companies have earned just 36% average returns, and only 32% of those who invested after listing have made gains, according to a report by advisory firm Client Associates. Titled The New-Age IPO Performance Analysis, the report examined 25 new-age tech IPOs launched between May 2020 and June 2025 across sectors including fintech, logistics, consumer internet, and software-as-a-service (SaaS). It assessed investor returns at three stages, pre-IPO, IPO, and post-IPO, using the BSE 500 as a benchmark. Mixed outcomes Startups like Ixigo and Zaggle delivered strong pre-IPO returns of 89.21% and 62.47%, respectively, while Ola Electric posted a 60.13% loss in the same phase. Overall, pre-IPO investments generated average returns of 43%, outperforming IPO and post-IPO investments. 'This assessment tells you that most prices have been driven by frenzy rather than business fundamentals,' said Shashank Agarwal, associate director at Client Associates. 'Unless you're an institutional investor, most retail investors chase market noise.' While companies such as Zomato and PolicyBazaar have fared better, others including Paytm, Ola Electric, and Mobikwik have significantly underperformed. The report argued that hype and narrative, rather than strong fundamentals, have driven most retail participation. IPO wave In 2024 alone, 13 new-age tech companies went public, raising close to Rs 29,070 crore. The list includes Swiggy, Go Digit, TBO Tek, Awfis, Ola Electric, FirstCry, Ixigo, and Unicommerce. The surge in tech-led IPOs has been fuelled by digital adoption, favourable demographics, and strong capital inflows, a shift from earlier IPO waves dominated by industrial and BFSI compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange rose 121% between September 2021 and May 2025, compared with just 37% for those listed on the National Stock Exchange. Investors in BSE-listed shares earned 84% more annually than those holding NSE's unlisted shares over the past four years. Agarwal said BSE's listed status gives investors confidence, while NSE's IPO delays and regulatory challenges have made investors more cautious. Despite this, retail investors are actively buying unlisted shares of market infrastructure firms such as NSE and the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), even though these are illiquid and hard to trade. Unlisted vs listed returns Over the last four years, NSE's unlisted shares have returned 37%, while listed rival BSE surged 194%. Similarly, NSDL's unlisted shares gained 35% compared with a 69% return from listed competitor CDSL. The report concluded that while pre-IPO investments in select new-age companies have delivered strong returns, the IPO and post-IPO phases have been far less rewarding for most retail investors. It cautioned that chasing hype without assessing business fundamentals exposes investors to significant downside risk.
