The full read
Natraj Proteins finished FY26 with a net profit of ₹113.51 lakhs, a shift from the ₹146.27 lakhs loss recorded in the previous year. This return to profit happened while revenue from operations fell to ₹10,112.13 lakhs from ₹11,778.29 lakhs in FY25. The statutory auditors returned an unmodified opinion on the annual accounts approved by the board on May 22, 2026. The company traded volume for efficiency, prioritizing margin improvement over top-line growth. While the profit represents a positive change, the shrinking revenue base leaves the firm with a clear task: proving this profitability can persist during periods of demand growth. The turnaround is the main development in the recent results.
