Why Did Gravita India Report Strong Revenue Growth Despite Margin Pressure?
Gravita India delivered a strong top-line performance in Q1 FY27, with revenue crossing ₹1,475 crore and healthy growth in net profit. However, the quarter also reflected pressure on operating margins, as EBITDA growth lagged revenue growth. Investors will closely monitor whether margin compression proves temporary while the company's growth momentum continues.
