November 14, 2025 | Chennai: MRF Ltd. today announced its financial results for the quarter ended 30th September 2025, delivering steady growth in revenue and profitability supported by favorable raw material prices and robust operational performance.

Financial Performance

MRF’s consolidated total income increased by 7% to Rs 7,487 Crores for the quarter ended 30th September 2025, compared to Rs 6,994 Crores in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The consolidated profit before tax stood at Rs 699 Crores, up from Rs 631 Crores recorded in the same quarter last year.

The provision for tax for the quarter amounted to Rs 173 Crores. After accounting for taxes, the consolidated net profit for the quarter stood at Rs 526 Crores, compared to Rs 471 Crores in the corresponding quarter ended 30th September 2024.

Overall, the financial performance for the quarter showed improvement, with profit growth primarily driven by the softening of raw material prices.

Operational Highlights

Traditionally, the second quarter experiences lower sales due to monsoon-related impacts. Despite this, OEM (Original Equipment) sales continued to register strong double-digit growth, and exports performed well even amidst tariff-related challenges.

Towards the latter part of the quarter, the Government’s announcement on GST rate reduction led to a temporary slowdown in replacement sales. However, the revised GST structure is expected to positively influence market demand in the upcoming quarters.

Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors has declared an Interim Dividend of Rs 3/- per share (30%) on equity shares of Rs 10 each, for the financial year ending 31st March 2026.

It’s not just about your strategic gameplay for real money — a lot of factors contribute to your success in Chicken Road. Practice matters, but several preparations and considerations should take place if you opt for the best results in your gambling lane.

How to Choose the Best Chicken Road Platform

Not all Chicken Road websites are equal — the wrong choice can quietly chip away at your winnings, speed, and overall experience. A smart approach is to treat site selection like bankroll management: strategic, data-based, and not driven by flashy banners. The ideal platform should balance fair play certification, withdrawal reliability, and mobile optimization, since over 72% of Chicken Road players use smartphones for live sessions. Below is a non-trivial breakdown showing what truly separates a trusted, high-performance Chicken Road site from the rest.

Effective Chicken Road Gameplay for Real Money

Many players believe that everything boils down to their gambling strategies. While their value shouldn’t be underestimated, punters may forget about the must-have basics to stick to:

• Verify your profile on the target platform. It will secure your online presence, letting you opt for faster withdrawals without additional checks.

• Set stop-loss and stop-win points to advance your gambling experience.

• Check whether the target operator supports mobile Chicken Road gameplay for real money. For fewer browser-based errors and delays, consider brands with dedicated apps for Android and iOS users. Don’t forget to check their compatibility with your device.

At the end of the day, your Chicken Road progress isn’t just how you play the game. A lot depends on your attention to details — access to convenient payment methods for deposits and withdrawals, availability of the latest SSL protocols on the chosen casino site, and more.

14th November 2025 — Building on the strong and growing acceptance of its VST FIELDTRAC brand across Europe, VST Tillers Tractors Ltd. showcased an expanded, feature-rich range of products at AGRITECHNICA 2025. The company’s participation reaffirmed its commitment to innovation, versatility, and customer-focused engineering excellence.

At AGRITECHNICA 2025, VST showcased its latest attachment-ready models, featuring provisions for front TPL, front PTO, and under-belly mower compatibility — enhancing versatility across agricultural, municipal, and landscaping applications. Equipped with Stage V–compliant engines and refined ergonomics, these upgrades underscore the brand’s commitment to delivering European standards of performance, comfort, and environmental responsibility.

The displayed models include:

929 FIELDTRAC Black Special Edition (24.5 HP) with Mid ROPS
929 FIELDTRAC (24.5 HP) with Cabin + Standard Bucket Front Loader
932 FIELDTRAC with Cabin + Grabber Bucket Front Loader
929 FIELDTRAC HST (Hydrostatic Transmission)
939 FIELDTRAC (35 HP)

With the model specific features and an attachment-ready architecture — including provisions for front TPL, front PTO, and under-belly mower compatibility — broadening their functional range across multiple European applications without the introduction of new implements at the show.

Feature Usability and Advantages

Hydrostatic Transmission (HST): Offers seamless speed variation, superior manoeuvrability and effortless control, reducing operator fatigue and improving precision during loader operations, mulching, and mowing.

Cabin Comfort: The factory-fitted cabin provides enhanced operator protection against dust, cold and noise — ensuring longer, more comfortable working hours in varying weather conditions typical of European climates. It also improves visibility and ergonomics for municipal and vineyard operations.

Front Loader Options: The front loader and grabber-bucket combinations allow quick handling of materials such as soil, gravel, compost or waste, supporting municipal maintenance, landscaping and estate management.

Mid ROPS Design: The Mid-mounted ROPS offers safety and a low overall height, making it ideal for orchard, vineyard and greenhouse work where canopy clearance is limited.

Attachment-Ready Design (front PTO, front TPL, under-belly compatibility): Enables rapid conversion for snowblade or snow-blower use in winter, rotary broom or brush for street cleaning, and flail or mid-mount mowers for park and verge maintenance — features widely valued by municipalities, vineyards, golf courses, and small-holding contractors.

The product features are well-suited for the need of compact, versatile tractors in Southern and Central Europe, particularly for municipal contracting and horticultural sectors. The positive feedback from the visitors, distributors and channel partners reinforces VST’s strategy for a stronger European presence.

“Our participation at AGRITECHNICA 2025 reinforces VST’s commitment to delivering compact, reliable and sustainable mechanisation solutions for the global market. The encouraging response from our European distributors validates our design direction and future roadmap,” said Antony Cherukara, CEO, VST Tillers Tractors Ltd.

Nisus Finance Reports H1 FY26 Results; Consolidated Revenue at INR 142.3 Crore, Higher Than FY25 Full-Year Revenue of INR 67.3 Crore

Mumbai, November 13, 2025: Nisus Finance Services Co. Ltd. (BSE: NISUS) has delivered its strongest half-yearly performance to date, with H1 FY26 results surpassing full-year FY25 metrics and signalling a new scale of growth for the business. The company posted INR 74.89 crore in revenue from its core operations during H1 FY26, already exceeding the full FY25 revenue of INR 67.30 crore. The company achieved consolidated revenues (including New Consolidated Construction Co. Ltd. or NCCCL) of INR 142.30 crore in the first half, up sharply from INR 34.36 crore in H1 FY25, representing exceptional year-on-year expansion.

The sequential momentum remains robust: Q2 revenue stood at INR 46.17 crore, up 61% over INR 28.72 crore in Q1 FY26, driven by realisation of investment gains, increased transaction flow and enhanced contributions from both Indian and UAE operations. EBITDA for the half year reached INR 62 crore consolidated, with the ex-NCCCL margin hovering around 74%, one of the highest in the industry. Profit after tax (PAT) reached INR 35.6 crore, reflecting disciplined cost management, high operating leverage and diversified income streams.

Commenting on the results, Amit Goenka, Managing Director of Nisus Finance, said: “Our H1 results reflect the disciplined execution of our growth strategy and the value of our diversification across geographies, asset classes and business models. The acquisition and integration of NCCCL, the Dubai expansion and the strengthening of our capital base have positioned Nisus as a genuinely diversified alternative-investment and infrastructure platform with a global edge. We enter the next phase with clarity of purpose and confidence.”

The acquisition and integration of New Consolidated Construction Co. Ltd. (NCCCL) marked a significant milestone in Nisus’s growth journey, creating a fully integrated urban infrastructure platform with financing, asset management, and execution capabilities. NCCCL brought in FY25 revenue of INR 608 crore and an order-book of over INR 2,350 crore across 30+ projects with AAA developers. With a targeted 2× increase in its order-book to INR 5,000 crore with higher margin order book mix including— data centres, hospitals, institutional buildings, Grade-A offices, and industrial facilities, the platform provides significant scale potential and operational diversification.

Internationally, Nisus made its largest global investment to date in a 24-storey residential tower in Dubai’s Motor City — for INR 525 crore. Acquired at a deep discount to market value, the asset delivers a rental upside of ~38% and projected IRR in the range of 24%–32%. The transaction reinforces Nisus’s GCC strategy and positions Dubai as a core investment hub for its global real-estate business.

Complementing these strategic moves, Nisus achieved a landmark credit-rating milestone by becoming the first Indian AIF business to secure a BBB+ rating from CareEdge, signalling institutional-grade governance standards, zero-loss investment history and consistent investor returns. Balance-sheet indicators are equally compelling: the INR 110 crore facility raised for NCCCL’s acquisition has already been partly repaid by INR 60 crore via stake sales and internal accruals, share pledge levels have been reduced to ~18-19% and the company’s own capital contribution in investments has increased from INR 48 crore to INR 106 crore, indicating promoter conviction and financial discipline.

On the people and culture front, Nisus has introduced an ESOP programme to reward top performers, was awarded by prestigious Global Real Estate Institute in the “Fundraising of the Year” category for a uniquely structured INR 145 crore investment by our Fund and has earned the Great Place to Work® certification for 2025, reinforcing its commitment to culture, talent and performance.

With a high-quality platform, expanding footprint, strong balance sheet and a scalable business model, Nisus Finance is well-positioned to sustain momentum and deliver differentiated value to investors, partners and stakeholders.

Mumbai, India, November 13, 2025: – Nazara Technologies Limited (“Nazara”), a diversified global gaming platform, announced its financial results for Q2 and H1FY26, supported by sustained momentum across mobile gaming, PC/console publishing, and offline interactive gaming.

For H1FY26, Nazara reported revenues of INR 1,025.2 crore, growing 80.2% year-on-year, and EBITDA of INR 109.4 crore, an increase of 118.5% year-on-year. Core gaming EBITDA margin expanded to 23.2%, reflecting the strength of Nazara’s diversified portfolio. In Q2FY26, the company delivered revenues of INR 526.5 crore, up 65.1% year-on-year, and EBITDA of INR 62.0 crore, growing 146.4% year-on-year. Growth during the quarter was led by improving retention, deeper LiveOps engagement, and cross-platform distribution across mobile, console, and PC.

Mobile gaming remained the strongest contributor, led by global franchises such as Love Island, Big Brother, Kiddopia, Animal Jam, and WCC, supported by recurring content seasons and strong engagement metrics. Nazara’s PC/console publishing business continued to perform steadily through evergreen global titles like Human: Fall Flat, alongside incremental gains from catalogue monetization and platform expansion. Offline interactive entertainment brands Smaaash and Funky Monkeys delivered profitable growth driven by standardized centre playbooks, growing repeat footfall, and disciplined expansion.

Nazara’s Centers of Excellence in User Acquisition, Analytics, AI, and Growth are now deployed across multiple studios and franchises, improving LTV/CAC, retention, and marketing payback periods, while enabling faster and more data-led decision-making across the portfolio.

During the quarter, new regulations in India’s online skill-based real-money gaming space prompted Nazara to record an impairment on its investment in Moonshine Technologies (PokerBaazi) based on fair valuation as per accounting standards. Also, Nazara’s stake in Nodwin Gaming reduced below 50%, resulting in de-subsidiarization of the business. Consequently, Nazara measured its retained stake in Nodwin Gaming at fair value, leading to a one-time gain.

Commenting on the results, Nitish Mittersain, Joint Managing Director & CEO of Nazara Technologies, said: “Nazara continued strengthening its position as an IP-led, global gaming platform. In H1FY26, core gaming revenues grew 159% and EBITDA grew 253%, driven by deeper LiveOps engagement, global scale, and strong unit economics across mobile, console, and PC. We are evolving from publishing individual games to building and scaling long-term franchises. Our Centres of Excellence in UA, Analytics, AI, and Growth are creating portfolio-wide operating leverage. The accounting adjustments this quarter, including the Moonshine impairment and NODWIN fair value gain, are one-time items and do not impact operating cash flows or the momentum of our core business. As we complete 25 years, we refreshed our brand identity, including a new logo and our brand positioning line ‘Enter. Magic.’ in step with our commitment towards delivering magical, interactive gaming experiences to our global player base.”
