JSWINFRA’s strategy of augmenting capacity, modernizing infrastructure, and pursuing selective acquisitions is well aligned with India’s long-term port sector growth ambitions, as the government targets a fourfold expansion of capacity to 10,000MTPA by FY47 from the current ~2,700MTPA.

Vodafone Idea’s (Vi) reported EBITDA declined 1% QoQ (vs.3%/5% QoQ for Bharti India Wireless/RJio), ~1% above our estimates, as lower network opex (+1% QoQ) was offset by higher SG&A costs (+8% QoQ).

We reiterate our Neutral stance on NTPC with a TP of INR380. After a 17% correction in the share price over the last 12M, valuations at 11x FY27 P/E appear relatively reasonable, even as the long-term project pipeline continues to build up, supported by an expanding footprint in nuclear, PSP, renewables, and green chemicals.

IOCL’s EBITDA/PAT came in 16%/20% below our estimates in 1QFY26, impacted by higher-than-anticipated refining inventory loss (USD4.8/bbl).

Amara Raja’s (ARENM) 1QFY26 PAT at INR1.9b was below our estimate of INR2.1b due to lower-than-expected other income. Margins remained under pressure at 11.5% due to higher non-lead alloy costs and higher power costs.

Revenue stood in line with our estimate at INR67.4b, rising 25% YoY but declining 4% QoQ. Muted volumes QoQ were offset by healthy NSR.

Glenmark Pharma (GNP) reported a lower-than-expected performance in 1QFY26, as revenue/EBITDA/PAT came in 9%/14%/15% below our estimates.

Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail (ABFRL) delivered a better-thanexpected operational performance in 1QFY26, with revenue growth of 9% YoY (strong performance in Ethnics and TMRW) and EBITDA growth of 25% YoY (~22% beat,) driven by 16-24pp improvement in profitability for Ethnics and Luxury Retail.

Spandana Sphoorty’s (SPANDANA) 1QFY26 loss stood at ~INR3.6b (vs. a loss of INR4.3b in 4QFY25). 1Q NII declined ~70% YoY to ~INR1.3b (~8% miss). Operating loss stood at INR587m (PQ: operating profit of INR251m).

IndoStar Capital Finance (IndoStar) delivered a weak performance in 1QFY26, with muted disbursements and weak AUM growth, impacted by tighter stringent underwriting and seasonal factors.
