Vedanta Q2 FY26 Profit Drops Amid One-Time Costs Despite Revenue Growth
Vedanta, a big company, announced its financial results for the period between July and September.
Their profit went down a lot, almost 59%, compared to last year.
This happened mainly because they had a special, one-time cost of over Rs 2,000 crore.
However, the money they earned from their business operations actually went up a little bit.
Their earnings before interest, taxes, and other costs (EBITDA) also increased by 12%, helped by better prices and gains from foreign money.
After the results were released, their stock price on the stock market went down.
Vedanta reported a 58.69% year-on-year drop in net profit to ₹1,798 crore for Q2 FY26.
The profit decline was mainly attributed to a one-time cost of ₹2,067 crore incurred during the quarter.
Revenue from operations increased by 5.94% to ₹39,868 crore compared to the same period last year.
EBITDA saw a 12% year-on-year increase to ₹11,612 crore, driven by higher premiums and forex gains.
Vedanta's shares closed 2.62% lower at ₹493.60 on the BSE following the results announcement.
