Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Standalone revenue for Q3 FY25 was INR 62.40 Cr. Consolidated revenue saw a decline compared to previous periods due to the off-season for the power business vertical, which contributed significantly in the first half of the year. The company is transitioning its power business from a subsidiary directly into EKI to streamline operations.
Geographic Revenue Split
The company is highly export-oriented, with 85.75% of revenue earned from outside India during FY 2024-25. Sales volume by credits is distributed as Europe (63%), Asia (15%), North America (13%), and Oceania (9%).
Profitability Margins
Standalone profit for Q3 FY25 was INR 4.69 Cr, representing a net profit margin of approximately 8% of revenue. The company has reported consecutive quarterly profits during the year, recovering from large operating and net losses in FY2024.
EBITDA Margin
Not explicitly disclosed as a percentage in the documents, but the company reported a standalone PAT of INR 4.69 Cr (8% margin) for Q3 FY25, indicating a return to core profitability following a disciplined cost optimization strategy.
Capital Expenditure
The company made a strategic investment in Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions Pvt. Ltd. by subscribing to preference shares.

Credit Rating & Borrowing
ICRA reaffirmed ratings at [ICRA]BB+ (Stable) / [ICRA]A4+ in December 2024, revising the outlook from Negative to Stable due to improved H1 FY2025 performance. However, the ratings were withdrawn in April 2025 at the company's request. Total rated bank facilities were reduced from INR 300 Cr to INR 60 Cr prior to withdrawal.
Operational Drivers

Capacity Expansion
Current inventory stands at approximately 7.6 million carbon credits as of Q3 FY25. The company is expanding its project development pipeline across Africa and Asia to increase the supply of high-quality credits.

Manufacturing Efficiency
Not applicable as a traditional manufacturer; however, the company focuses on 'operational efficiency' through cost optimization and restructuring subsidiary accounts into the parent entity.
Logistics & Distribution
Not disclosed as a percentage of revenue; distribution is primarily digital/contractual transfer of carbon credits across global registries.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
