Hyderabad, July 18 – Alkali Metals Ltd (NSE: ALKALI) reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Q1FY26), posting a net loss of ₹115.3 lakh, significantly lower than the ₹332.46 lakh loss recorded in Q1FY25. The performance was supported by a robust 40.5% YoY increase in revenue from operations, which rose to ₹2,061.13 lakh in Q1FY26 from ₹1,466.74 lakh in the same period last year.
The revenue surge was led by a 69.5% jump in domestic sales and steady export growth of 22.8%. Operating costs remained controlled, with lower power and fuel expenses offsetting higher material costs. The shift reflects improved sales mix and early signs of margin stabilization.
As of market close on July 18, the stock settled at ₹99.50, up 1.72% from the previous close. It traded within a range of ₹98.00 to ₹102.00. The VWAP stood at ₹100.10, with 0.35 lakh shares exchanged, generating a turnover of ₹0.35 crore.
