What’s new

• Board approved doubling sulphur dioxide capacity to 105 tpd from 45 tpd.
• Standalone Q1 net profit surged to ₹2.43 cr from ₹0.19 cr on revenue more than doubling.
• Consolidated profit of ₹16.73 cr included one-off GST incentive of ₹5.61 cr.

Why it matters

For a micro-cap with near-full utilisation and zero debt, this organic expansion at 1.5% of market cap can double output of a key chemical without diluting equity. The sharp profit jump is flattered by a low base and a shutdown; the real story is the growth trajectory the capex unlocks.

What we’re watching

• Funding mix (internal accruals or debt) and any impact on debt-free balance sheet.
• Whether revenue growth sustains as the base normalises and GST incentive fades.
• Execution timeline and any revenue contribution before the two-year completion.

The full read

Amal's board approved a ₹12 crore capacity expansion that will double sulphur dioxide output to 105 tonnes per day from the current 45 tonnes. For a debt-free micro-cap with near-full utilisation, this is a strategic step that can double the company's key chemical production without equity dilution. The capex is just 1.5% of market cap, affordable but meaningful. Standalone Q1 net profit jumped to ₹2.43 crore from ₹0.19 crore, but revenue more than doubled off a low base, and a planned maintenance shutdown skews comparability. Consolidated profit of ₹16.73 crore includes a ₹5.61 crore one-off GST credit from the subsidiary. The expansion story, not the base-effect profit, is the real news here.
