The full read
Seshasayee Paper's net profit nearly doubled to ₹33.59 crore in the June quarter. Revenue climbed 27.7% to ₹492 crore. Compare: a year ago, profit was ₹17.06 crore and revenue ₹385.33 crore. The profit surge far outpaced revenue growth, pointing to cost leverage on a zero-debt balance sheet. These are routine quarterly numbers: no guidance change, no strategic pivot. Along with the results, the board appointed R.J. Ramesh, a deputy general manager of the Tamilnadu Industrial Investment Corporation, as an additional nominee director replacing Kumar Jayant. That move is procedural and awaits shareholder approval. But the headline story is that, after trailing twelve-month profit drop of 32%, this quarter's 97% jump marks a sharp reversal. The challenge is sustaining 27.7% revenue growth in a paper market.
