What’s new

  • FY26 revenue grew ~11% to ₹47,856 lacs; net profit rose ~10% to ₹1,097 lacs.
  • Capital work-in-progress jumped more than four-fold to ₹1,873 lacs.
  • Cash fell to ₹28 lacs while borrowings increased to fund the expansion.

Why it matters

The earnings are routine. The balance sheet is not. Century has drained its cash and taken on debt to fund a massive capacity build-out, a bet that now hinges entirely on the new projects delivering returns.

What we’re watching

  • The commissioning timeline for the projects behind the capex spike.
  • Whether higher borrowings will fund the ongoing cash shortfall.
  • Q1 FY27 growth to justify the heavy investment.

The full read

Century Extrusions posted unspectacular growth in FY26. Revenue rose ~11% to ₹47,856 lacs. Net profit climbed ~10% to ₹1,097 lacs. The real story is on the balance sheet. Capital work-in-progress surged from ₹426 lacs to ₹1,873 lacs. That is a more than four-fold increase in projects under construction. This build-out drained the company's cash to just ₹28 lacs and pushed borrowings higher. The audited numbers are unmodified. The growth is modest. The capex is not. Century has bet heavily on new capacity, and it is doing so with a near-empty cash till. The open question is whether the projects coming online can justify that concentration of resources.
