Kalpataru Limited announced a significant loss of ₹4,688 lakhs for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, as reported on November 10, 2025. This loss reflects a steep decline compared to the previous year, where the company reported a profit of ₹2,794 lakhs for the same period. The financial results, which were reviewed by the company's Board of Directors, indicate that while the revenue from operations increased to ₹79,377 lakhs, the total expenses surged to ₹81,018 lakhs, leading to a negative net income for the quarter ending September 30, 2025.

The company's total income for the first half of the fiscal year reached ₹1,27,244 lakhs, marking an increase from ₹1,07,929 lakhs over the same period last year. However, the rise in revenue was overshadowed by costs, as operational expenses climbed significantly, including a ₹63,142 lakhs cost of sales and other operational expenses. Employee benefits and finance costs also saw increases, further impacting the company's bottom line. The share of losses from associates and joint ventures accounted for an additional ₹162 lakhs, exacerbating the overall loss.

Despite the challenges faced in this quarter, Kalpataru Limited's management remains optimistic about future recovery. The company continues to operate with several subsidiaries, though some are facing their own financial difficulties, which have raised concerns regarding their going concern assumption. The Board's approval of the financial results was accompanied by an unmodified review report from KKC & Associates LLP, the company's statutory auditor, signaling adherence to regulatory standards. Moving forward, investors will be keenly observing how Kalpataru Limited addresses these financial setbacks and steers its operations towards profitability.
