Mumbai, Aug 7 (NationPress) The real estate developer Signature Global has reported an alarming 43.71% decline in its net profit for the first quarter (Q1) of FY26, totaling Rs 34.4 crore compared to Rs 61.1 crore in the preceding quarter (Q4 FY25). The profit dip occurred despite the company experiencing significant growth in operational revenue, which emphasizes the impact of rising costs and reduced other income during this period.
Revenue from operations surged by 66.33% to Rs 865.6 crore in Q1 FY26, a substantial increase from Rs 520.4 crore in Q4, as noted in the company’s stock exchange filing.
Conversely, other income saw a substantial drop of 34.80% to Rs 32.6 crore, down from Rs 50 crore in Q4.
Consequently, total income reached Rs 898.3 crore, representing a 57.49% rise from the previous quarter’s Rs 570.4 crore, according to the company’s regulatory statement.
On the expenditure side, total expenses escalated by 71.30% to Rs 852.6 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to Rs 497.7 crore in Q4.
Despite this profit reduction, Signature Global continued its expansion efforts. In line with its long-term growth plan, the company acquired 9.96 acres of land in Sohna during Q1, which has a development potential of approximately 0.53 million sq. ft.
Commenting on the results, Pradeep Kumar Aggarwal, Chairman and Whole-Time Director of Signature Global, stated, "Building on the strong momentum from FY25, we achieved a substantial performance in the first quarter of FY26, with operational revenue doubling year-on-year. This growth underscores our ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of high-quality homes."
He also mentioned that the successful launch of the premium project Cloverdale SPR in Sector 71 along the Southern Peripheral Road significantly contributed to this quarter’s results.
Looking forward, the company has numerous new project launches planned and is optimistic about maintaining its growth trajectory.
Meanwhile, the board of directors approved two significant appointments during the quarter. Kundan Mal Agarwal was re-appointed as an Independent Director for a second term of five years commencing April 2, 2026, pending shareholder approval.
Additionally, M/s. Deepak Sharma & Associates were appointed as the Secretarial Auditor for a five-year term starting FY25-26.
