Kochi-based Kings Infra Ventures Limited reported a 30.13% year-on-year increase in revenue for FY2025-26, with turnover rising to INR 162.15 crore from INR 124.63 crore a year earlier. The company also recorded growth across profitability metrics, including EBITDA, profit before tax and profit after tax. The performance came during a transition period following the passing of founder and former Chairman and Managing Director Late Shaji Baby John. Led by Managing Director Baby John Shaji, the company sharpened its focus on aquaculture and export operations, which supported farm-level growth and operational performance. The company has also outlined a five-pillar strategy for FY2026-27 aimed at strengthening efficiency, technology adoption, partnerships and revenue generation across its aquaculture and seafood businesses.
Kochi-headquartered Kings Infra Ventures Limited announced its audited financial results for the quarter and financial year ended 31 March 2026, reporting higher revenue and profitability driven by its aquaculture and export operations. The company said its focus on core business segments helped maintain growth during a year marked by organisational transition following the passing of its founder and former Chairman and Managing Director, Late Shaji Baby John.
Revenue from operations for FY2025-26 rose to INR 162.15 crore, representing a 30.13% increase from INR 124.63 crore reported in FY2024-25. During the fourth quarter, net revenue stood at INR 46.85 crore, compared with INR 32.36 crore in the corresponding period of the previous financial year, reflecting growth of 44.77%.
The company's EBITDA for the year reached INR 30.98 crore, up 27.22% from INR 24.35 crore in FY2024-25. Fourth-quarter EBITDA increased to INR 9.39 crore from INR 6.12 crore in the year-ago period, registering growth of 53.43%. The company attributed the improvement to volume expansion supported by disciplined cost management measures.
Profit before tax increased by 25.78% year-on-year to INR 22.30 crore, while profit after tax rose 24.41% to INR 16.36 crore. Earnings per share improved to INR 6.68 for FY2025-26 from INR 5.37 in the previous financial year.
According to the company, its strategic emphasis on aquaculture and exports delivered positive operational outcomes during the year. Farm operations recorded strong performance, supported by proprietary farming practices and established supply-chain partnerships.
On the exports front, the company acknowledged challenges arising from geopolitical tensions and disruptions to global trade flows. However, it indicated that it remains optimistic about future opportunities in overseas markets. Management noted that the proposed India-European Union Free Trade Agreement, expected to come into force by 2027, could support export growth in Europe, where the company already has an established presence through its premium seafood offerings.
For FY2026-27, the company has adopted a strategic roadmap built around what it calls the SCDMO framework—Synergise, Consolidate, Digitise, Monetise and Optimise. The framework was presented by Managing Director Baby John Shaji to the board and received its concurrence as the company's operational blueprint for the coming year.
Under the strategy, Kings Infra plans to expand partnerships with exporters, processing companies, distribution businesses and aquaculture technology providers. It also intends to streamline vendor relationships, strengthen high-value customer engagement and maintain lean operating structures aimed at protecting margins.
Technology deployment forms another key element of the plan, with investments proposed in farm-level systems such as micro-bubble aerators, automated feeders and real-time monitoring technologies. The company also intends to enhance enterprise resource planning integration to improve supply-chain visibility and traceability standards required by international buyers.
In addition, management plans to generate new revenue streams through consulting assignments, managed aquaculture farm contracts, new export product categories and the utilisation of existing land assets and brand value. Continuous performance monitoring and resource optimisation across business units will underpin the execution of the strategy as the company seeks to build on its FY2025-26 performance.
