Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Ltd. reported revenue of ₹814 cr for January to March 2026, +3.6% on the year and +40.6% on the quarter. Over the last four quarters revenue comes to ₹2,654 cr, −6.9% on the four before.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹104 cr, a margin of 12.8%, −1,191 bps on the year and −467 bps on the quarter. It is the narrowest margin of the last 8 quarters (range 12.8% to 25.8%). Operating costs grew +19.9%, faster than revenue at +3.6%, so operating profit grew less than sales.
Net profit was ₹194 cr, −14.2% on the year and +45.9% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹6.10. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax fell 70.1%, so 56 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business. The tax rate was 17% against an average of 24% over the previous 8 quarters, which lifted profit this quarter. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹957 cr, +39.5% on the four before.
Metal margins move with the spread between product prices and coal and ore costs, so large quarterly swings are normal here and say more about prices than about the business. The quarterly statements do not carry volumes, realisation per tonne and the cost of coal and ore; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹30.08 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹471.05 trades at 15.7 times trailing earnings.
Written from the quarterly statements. The filing read adds the balance sheet and cash flow filed with this quarter, the auditor's review, segment results, one-off items line by line and what management said on the call.
Half or more of pre-tax profit came from other income. What is it, and does it repeat?
Other income was 79% of profit before tax, against 41% a year earlier.

Operating margin fell sharply on the year. Pricing, input costs, or mix?
