TruAlt Bioenergy Limited reported a net loss of ₹37.94 crore in Q2 FY 2025–26, widening from ₹18.66 crore in the same quarter last year.
The company’s revenue from operations declined 70% year-on-year to ₹114.86 crore from ₹388.22 crore, while total income stood at ₹129.61 crore, down 68% from ₹404.83 crore in Q2 FY 2024–25.
The company informed that the decline was primarily due to planned, safety-driven shutdowns, commissioning pauses and process stabilisation across three of TruAlt’s five manufacturing units in Karnataka as part of its 1,300 KLPD dual-feed integration initiative.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) turned negative at ₹4.55 crore, against a positive ₹17.26 crore a year ago, while the company reported a loss before tax (PBT) of ₹49.18 crore, widening from ₹16.26 crore in the same quarter last year.
TruAlt emphasised that the temporary dip in volumes and profitability was the result of deliberate shutdowns meant to enable long-term operational resilience. The dual-feed integration is expected to allow the company to shift from a seasonal, mono-feed model to year-round operations spanning up to 330 days annually, compared to around 140 days earlier.
For the first half of FY 2025–26 (H1 FY26), the company reported a consolidated net loss of ₹33.27 crore, narrowing from a ₹40.25 crore loss in the previous year’s first half, despite the shutdown period. Revenue from operations for H1 stood at ₹418.75 crore, compared to ₹585.62 crore in H1 FY 2024–25.
TruAlt’s Compressed Biogas (CBG) segment delivered breakout growth of 286% with H1 income of ₹20.70 crore and a PAT of ₹9.71 crore, marking a sharp 659% surge from the previous year whereas EBITDA for the CBG vertical rose to ₹13.89 crore with an impressive 68.29% margin.
Commenting on the performance, Managing Director, TruAlt Bioenergy, Vijay Nirani said, “Q2 and the first half of FY 2025–26 must be seen as the investment phase in TruAlt’s long-term transformation. We chose to build for a sustainable future rather than perform for the moment, and prioritised undertaking safety-driven shutdowns and commissioning activities across three of our largest units as part of the 1,300 KLPD dual-feed integration.”
