Mumbai, Aug 6 (IANS) Varroc Engineering on Thursday reported a 26.5 per cent year-on-year (YoY) decline in consolidated net profit for the June quarter (Q1 FY27), as margin pressure and an exceptional item weighed on earnings despite robust growth in revenue and operating profit.

The decline in profitability came despite a sharp increase in revenue and operating earnings, with the company indicating that an exceptional item impacted the bottom line during the quarter.
Revenue from operations rose 29.9 per cent year-on-year to Rs 2,634.2 crore, compared with Rs 2,027.6 crore a year earlier, it said in its regulatory filing.
