Management Commentary: Paramount Communications Limited reported revenue from operations of Rs 428 crore in Q2FY26, up 20.3% YoY over Rs 355.9 crore in Q2FY25.

During April ’25, the US Administration increased tariff on imports from India by 10% which was further increased to 25% on 2nd August ’25. Further on India, a penal oil tariff of 25% was also imposed. As the company has substantial revenue from USA exports (more than 40% share in H1FY26) which is being exported on DDP basis, the company had to bear a substantial part of this increase in tariff on goods under transit, finished goods and goods under production. Furthermore, for new orders we are facing stiff competition from other countries at lower tariff structures. As a result, the company’s margins are under pressure in the short term. We are actively working to de-risk ourselves from this situation by covering the export deficit from our domestic market, while also reviewing the dynamic trade situation between both countries. The company expects impact on its revenue and profitability to be temporary. The domestic market remained strong during the quarter which helped us sail through the period and we anticipate stronger demand in the coming months driven by the expanding renewables sector and continued capex in power generation and transmission. There is also improvement in demand for the railway and telecom products of the company. Result PDF
