The quarter, explainedfrom the filing and the statements

Graphite India Ltd. reported revenue of ₹806 cr for July to September 2026, +13.5% on the year and +5.4% on the quarter.

Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹98.0 cr, a margin of 12.2%, +469 bps on the year and −287 bps on the quarter. Operating costs grew +7.8% against revenue growth of +13.5%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.

Net profit was ₹128 cr, +39.1% on the year and −18.5% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹6.56. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew faster, at +143.3%; other income, one-offs or tax held the headline back.

Capital goods and EPC revenue follows project execution, which makes quarters uneven; the order book and new orders tell more about the year than one quarter does.
