New Delhi, May 15 (PTI) Jain Irrigation Systems on Friday reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 19 crore for the fourth quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal on higher expenses.

The Maharashtra-based company had posted a net profit of Rs 27.86 crore in the year-ago period, according to a regulatory filing.

Total income for the March quarter rose to Rs 1,824.63 crore from Rs 1,750.15 crore, but expenses remained higher at Rs 1,774.91 crore as against Rs 1,703.71 crore.

Anil Jain, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, said Q4FY26 was marked by global uncertainties and a sharp rise in polymer prices in March following geopolitical developments.


"Despite these headwinds, the company delivered consolidated revenue growth of 4.3 per cent YoY, led by strong performance in the Hi-Tech and Agro Processing segments. This quarter was also good on cash generation of Rs 233 crore, almost 97 per cent of EBITDA," he said.

The company said it continues to closely monitor the evolving global environment, which may impact input costs and international trade flows.

"We expect improved policy continuity and a revival of irrigation and infrastructure spending, supporting stronger demand," he said.

Going forward, the company said it would remain focused on revenue growth, improving collections from project receivables and generating sustainable free cash flow.
