HBL Engineering reports strong Q2 FY26 results driven by rail signaling

HBL Engineering Limited's board of directors, at their November 8, 2025 meeting, approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The company reported a total income from operations of ₹1203.16 crores for standalone results, with net profit after tax at ₹382.20 crores. Consolidated total income from operations reached ₹1222.90 crores, and net profit after tax was ₹387.28 crores for the quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for standalone and consolidated results stood at ₹13.78 and ₹13.96, respectively.

The company highlighted that the rail signaling business had an "extraordinarily good" Q2 FY26, with management not expecting similar results in any single quarter in the coming years, indicating that FY26 will be an "exceptional year." This performance should not be used as a basis for future expectations.

The report also noted exceptional items totaling ₹23.82 crores (standalone) and ₹23.85 crores (consolidated), primarily due to unrecoverable costs incurred during the development of high-performance batteries for torpedoes.
