Mazagon Dock Profit Climbs 9%, Revenue Surges 14.6%, But Margins Squeeze
Overview

Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders posted a 9% year-on-year net profit increase to ₹879.8 crore for Q3 FY26, fueled by a 14.6% jump in revenue to ₹3,601 crore. However, margins softened as expenses rose, leading to an 8.5% EBITDA growth. The company's shares closed 1.3% lower on the NSE.

Margin pressure was evident despite strong operational progress. EBITDA grew 8.5% year-on-year to ₹887 crore, but the EBITDA margin dipped to 24.6% from 26% in Q3 FY25. This softening reflects increased input costs and operating expenses. Higher consumption of materials, employee benefits, and subcontracting costs weighed on profitability, only partially offset by operating leverage gains from higher revenues.

Nine-Month Performance

For the nine months ended December 31, FY26, Mazagon Dock reported revenue from operations of ₹9,155.9 crore, a rise from ₹8,257.5 crore in the corresponding period last year. Net profit for the nine months stood at ₹2,081.4 crore, marginally lower than ₹2,088.2 crore reported in the same period last year.
