The full read
Almondz Global Securities logged a 34% revenue jump to ₹72.55 crore in the March quarter, but profit didn't follow the trend. Net profit dropped to ₹5.37 crore compared to ₹6.04 crore in the same period last year. Management pointed to two pillars for the coming fiscal year: a completed biofuel plant in Odisha and a ₹260 crore order book in infrastructure advisory. The biofuel facility remains the primary point of uncertainty. While construction is finished, the company awaits procurement contracts from oil marketers, which are now slated for June. If those contracts land, they provide the revenue base for the advisory segment's projected 18-20% growth. For now, Almondz is caught in a familiar transition—trading current profitability for the promise of pending industrial tenders. June is the next real test.
