Praj Industries Ltd, India’s leading industrial biotechnology and process engineering company, reported a mixed Q2FY26 performance. While revenue growth remained steady, profitability declined due to delayed order execution and higher deferred tax expenses. However, a strong order book and robust demand in bioenergy projects signal long-term resilience.

Will Praj Industries’ Strong Order Book Fuel a Bioenergy-Led Comeback?
