Nava Limited Achieves Record Quarterly Income, Driven by Strong Energy and Mining Results​

Hyderabad, August 14, 2026: Nava Limited announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2026. The company reported a record-high consolidated total income, while standalone Profit Before Tax (PBT) rose significantly year over year.

The results reflect disciplined cost management and resilient operating performance across Nava’s diversified portfolio, supported by robust energy operations and healthy dividend flows from international business units. Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹1,212 crore, marking a 6.0% sequential rise. Total Income for the quarter reached ₹1,269 crore.

Key operational highlights include:

• Energy Performance: Energy revenue increased by 18.3% quarter-on-quarter, driven by strong Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and the availability of bilateral contracts across plants.
• Mining Momentum: Mining revenue saw a rise of 20.4% QoQ, attributed to higher sales volumes.
• Financial Transactions: Nava received US$15 million in dividend income from Nava Global during the quarter. Additionally, MEL collected US$15 million from ZESCO, reducing outstanding arrears to US$13.4 million.

Business and Project Updates​

Energy Sector: Maamba Solar Energy Limited’s 100 MW solar project is scheduled to commence power flow and commercial revenue generation by September 2026. Concurrently, MEL's Phase II 300 MW project is slated for phased commissioning by July 2027. This timeline was set following challenges related to rising costs associated with supply chain disruptions in West Asia, impacting vessel movements, container availability, and critical equipment delivery schedules; however, MEL remains well positioned to manage the marginal increase in capital expenditure.

Mining: In Côte d'Ivoire, exploration at Nava’s 360 sq. km concession for manganese has yielded promising results, enabling progress toward obtaining an exploitation permit. The company continues its search for resources like Lithium and Tantalum across Africa to diversify its mining portfolio beyond coal.

Agribusiness Projects:

• Nava Avocado Limited aims to complete all plantation activities across its divisions by the end of FY27 / Q1 FY 2028. Furthermore, the State-of-the-Art Packhouse is nearing commissioning in October 2026, well before the FY27 harvest season.
• Kawambwa Sugar Limited's sugarcane plantation project is progressing successfully under pivot irrigation systems. Construction and infrastructure development are advancing rapidly, alongside supplies of sugar and power plant equipment from India. The entire integrated sugar cane estate, including co-generation of power and distillery, is expected to be commissioned by March 2028.

Management Commentary​

Ashwin Devineni, Managing Director & CEO of Nava Limited, commented on the performance, stating that Nava’s record quarterly income reflects the strength of its diversified portfolio, disciplined cost management, and resilient operational performance. He added that strong energy and mining operations, combined with healthy dividend flows from international businesses, have significantly improved profitability.

Devineni noted: "As we continue to navigate near-term global uncertainties, our focus remains on operational resilience and disciplined execution. Our investments in renewable energy and commercial agriculture across Africa are designed to create the next phase of sustainable, geographically diversified growth and long-term value for our shareholders."
