Mumbai, August 6, 2025: Shipping Corporation of India Land and Assets Limited (SCILAL) has reported a good start to the financial year. The company saw its standalone net profit for the first quarter rise to ₹14.34 crore, a 19.6% increase from the ₹11.99 crore it made during the same period last year. This growth was due to stable performance from its business segments and low operational costs.

The shares of the company closed lower by 1.65%, or ₹0.82, at ₹48.72. The shares made an intraday high of ₹50.31 and a low of ₹48.06.

Shipping Corporation of India Land and Assets Limited (SCILAL) is a public sector company that was created to manage the non-core assets of the Shipping Corporation of India, which are primarily land and property. The company’s main sources of income are rent, lease recovery, and fees from its training institute. It is listed on both the NSE and BSE with the ticker symbol SCILAL and is headquartered in Mumbai, India.

Key Financial Highlights (₹ in lakh)

 The company’s revenue from operations was ₹571 lakh, with an additional ₹2,110 lakh coming from other income, bringing the total income to ₹2,681 lakh. This is an increase from the previous quarter’s total income of ₹2,599 lakh and the same quarter last year’s ₹2,462 lakh.

The company managed to keep its total expenses low at ₹746 lakh. As a result, its profit before tax was a solid ₹1,935 lakh. After accounting for a tax expense of ₹501 lakh, the net profit came to ₹1,434 lakh (₹14.34 crore). It’s worth noting that the company had a loss in the previous quarter due to a one-time tax adjustment, but otherwise, its performance has been consistent. The earnings per share (EPS) for this quarter were ₹0.31.

The tax expense in Q4FY25 spiked due to deferred tax accounting of ₹23,771 lakh, resulting in a quarterly loss. Excluding this anomaly, quarterly performance remains consistent.

Segment-Wise Performance

 The company’s business is split into two segments. The Marine Training Institute (MTI), which had faced losses, turned things around this quarter with a small profit of ₹2 lakh on a revenue of ₹490 lakh. The “Others” segment, which includes income from investment properties like rent and interest, was the main contributor to the company’s success, generating a profit of ₹1,933 lakh from a total revenue of ₹2,191 lakh. The company’s balance sheet remains strong, with a large asset base of ₹352,501 lakh and a low debt level.
