Profit After Tax (PAT) almost doubled to Rs 475.82 lakhs, marking a 96.90 per cent YoY increase from Rs 241.66 lakhs, while the PAT margin improved by 575 basis points to 8.90 per cent.

These metrics underscore NRL's enhanced operational efficiency and strong focus on delivering sustainable results amid revenue challenges.
NRL's robust performance is further bolstered by its focus on strategic growth. The company has announced plans to expand into metal scrap processing, aluminium extrusion, and lithium-ion battery recycling. A state-of-the-art facility is planned for completion by 2027 to support these ventures, addressing the rising demand for sustainable industrial solutions, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) sector.
