NLC India Q4 results today:  State-run NLC India announced its financial results for the March quarter (Q4FY24) on Monday, May 19, reporting a net profit of ₹468.46 crore — a 311% jump compared to ₹114 crore in the same quarter last fiscal year. However, on a sequential basis, the net profit declined from ₹696 crore reported in the December quarter, impacted by the rise in employee expenses, which soared 58% YoY to ₹1,093.59 crore.

Revenue from operations also declined both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, coming in at ₹3,972 crore in Q4FY25, compared to ₹4,034 crore in Q4FY24 and ₹4,900 crore in Q3FY25.

The drop in revenue was largely attributed to a weaker performance in the mining segment, where revenue slipped to ₹1,963 crore in Q4FY25 from ₹2,139 crore a year ago. In contrast, the power generation segment posted a 10% YoY increase in revenue, rising to ₹3,263 crore.

On the operating front, the company reported an EBITDA of ₹997.26 crore, translating into an EBITDA margin of 25.11%. In comparison, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (Q4FY24), the EBITDA stood higher at ₹1,096.04 crore with an EBITDA margin of 27.17%.

This indicates a year-on-year decline in both operating profit and margin, reflecting increased pressure on operating efficiency.
