Overall, we remain buoyant about radio’s prospects in the years to come,” said ENIL CEO Prashant Panday.

Godrej Industries Q1 profit rises to Rs 725 cr on strong consolidated gains
MUMBAI: Godrej Industries’ June quarter numbers read like a mixed-genre script, a drama of losses on the standalone front, but a blockbuster on the consolidated stage. For Q1 FY26, the conglomerate clocked a consolidated net profit of Rs 725.35 crore, up from Rs 640.86 crore in the year-ago quarter and a sharp leap from Rs 416.13 crore in Q4 FY25. The earnings ride was powered by total income of Rs 5,718.97 crore, a 9 per cent rise year-on-year, buoyed by its FMCG, agri-business, chemicals, and real estate subsidiaries.
Segmental muscle showed in the expense sheet too cost of materials consumed stood at Rs 2,420.69 crore, while purchases of stock-in-trade rose to Rs 143.79 crore. Inventory changes delivered a significant positive swing at Rs 3,349.68 crore (credit), compared with Rs 2,011.01 crore last year, cushioning the operating line.
Finance costs came in at Rs 113.53 crore, with depreciation at Rs 576.29 crore. Profit before tax surged to Rs 1,058.56 crore from Rs 872.61 crore in Q1 FY25.
However, on a standalone basis, it was a different story, the company posted a net loss of Rs 29.98 crore, reversing from a Rs 105.26 crore profit a year earlier, hurt by higher input costs and flat revenue growth (Rs 1,018.29 crore versus Rs 986.45 crore in Q1 FY25).
Margins on the consolidated level held strong, with operating margin at 8.90 per cent and net profit margin at 16.26 per cent, an improvement from last year’s 15.09 per cent. Earnings per share stood at Rs 10.37, more than double the Rs 5.44 posted in the March quarter.
With a net worth of Rs 10,137.54 crore and debt-equity ratios steady (gross at 6.42), Godrej Industries appears well positioned for its next growth leg, even if the standalone arm needs a few scenes rewritten.

The quarter also saw Rs 5,400 lakh of IPO proceeds fully deployed for working capital, while Rs 3,626.22 lakh earmarked for general corporate purposes has also been utilised. However, Rs 5,458.43 lakh remains unutilised including Rs 1,098.50 lakh for a planned DVCP Studio, Rs 2,838.20 lakh for IT infrastructure across R K Swamy and its subsidiaries Hansa Research and Hansa Customer Equity, and Rs 1,521.73 lakh for new CEC and CATI facilities.

Venky’s hatches higher Q1 profits as poultry powers past feed cost squeeze
MUMBAI: In the corporate coop this quarter, Venky’s (India) Ltd has laid a golden egg. The poultry-to-oilseed giant reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 15.83 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2025, up from Rs 15.78 crore a year ago, despite battling feed cost pressures and softer margins in its core poultry segment.
Revenue from operations climbed 7.15 per cent year-on-year to Rs 865.83 crore, compared with Rs 808.02 crore in Q1 FY25. Total income stood at Rs 877.52 crore, buoyed by Rs 11.69 crore in other income.

Segment results showed poultry still feeling the heat with a loss of Rs 5.55 crore, while animal health (Rs 23.18 crore) and oilseed (Rs 10.05 crore) kept the ledger in the black.
Expenses rose to Rs 855.75 crore from Rs 717.63 crore last year, driven by higher material costs (Rs 553.08 crore) and feedstock price volatility. Finance costs edged up to Rs 4.29 crore, while depreciation came in at Rs 9.21 crore.
Earnings per share for the quarter stood at Rs 11.24, compared with Rs 11.24 in the previous quarter and Rs 9.44 a year earlier. On the balance sheet, total assets grew to Rs 2,09,115 lakh, while liabilities were steady at Rs 59,975 lakh.
While the poultry flock faced headwinds, the diversified revenue mix helped Venky’s keep its Q1 nest egg intact proving that in this business, you can still rule the roost if you spread your wings wide enough.
