Topline for Q2 FY27 came in at ₹394 cr, and ₹293 cr in the preceding Q1 FY27 quarter.
On a sequential basis revenue grew +34.7%. Sequential moves are the quickest read on demand momentum because they strip out the base effect of a year-old quarter, though seasonality can distort a single quarter.
Total expenses for the quarter were ₹187 cr, or 47.3% of revenue.
Net profit of ₹173 cr works out to a net margin of 43.9%.
Below the operating line, CENTRAL DEPO SER (I) LTD reported profit before tax of ₹231 cr, a tax charge of ₹57.09 cr (effective rate 24.7%), interest cost of ₹0.03 cr. Reading these together with operating profit shows how much of the quarter's earnings were driven by the core business versus financing and tax movements.
Sequentially, net profit moved from ₹118 cr in Q1 FY27 to ₹173 cr in Q2 FY27, a change of +47.5%.
Across the trailing four quarters CENTRAL DEPO SER (I) LTD has generated revenue of ₹1,254 cr and net profit of ₹504 cr, a trailing net margin of 40.2%. The trailing view smooths out one-off quarters and is the number most valuation multiples are built on.
On a full-year basis, FY26 revenue was ₹1,145 cr with net profit of ₹456 cr and EPS of ₹21.82, versus the prior year where revenue grew +5.8% and profit declined -13.4%.
For the coming quarters the numbers worth tracking on this page are revenue momentum, the operating margin trend, the interest burden and whether EPS keeps pace with profit growth. A single weak quarter matters less than the direction over three to four consecutive quarters.
