Elitecon International Ltd (EIL) demonstrated explosive financial growth in the first half of the 2026 fiscal year, characterised by a massive surge in top-line revenue. Quarterly Results show net sales climbed 318 per cent to Rs 2,192.09 crore, with net profit rising 63 per cent to Rs 117.20 crore compared to the previous quarter. This momentum is even more pronounced on a half-yearly basis; net sales skyrocketed by 581 per cent to Rs 3,735.64 crore, while net profit jumped 195 per cent to Rs 117.20 crore compared to the same period last year. This rapid scaling follows a conservative 2025 fiscal year, where the company reported annual net sales of Rs 548.76 crore and a net profit of Rs 69.65 crore.

With Deloitte appointed as the Tax and transaction advisor, EIL is moving forward with the integration process, which currently awaits final regulatory and NCLT approvals.
