VA Tech Wabag on Friday (November 7) reported a 20.1% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit at ₹84.8 crore for the September quarter, compared to ₹70.6 crore in the same period last year.

The Chennai-based water technology company’s revenue from operations grew 19.2% to ₹834 crore from ₹700 crore a year earlier, supported by project execution both in India and overseas.

For the half year ended September 2025, VA Tech Wabag reported consolidated revenue of ₹1,568.5 crore and a profit after tax of ₹150.6 crore, up 20% year-on-year, marking its 11th consecutive quarter of net cash-positive performance, the company said.

Rajiv Mittal, Chairman and Managing Director of VA Tech Wabag, said, “The strategic wins in Ultra-Pure Water and Compressed Bio-Gas open new avenues in the fast-growing ‘Future Energy Solutions’ segment. With a strong order book of around ₹158 billion and a well-diversified global presence, we are poised to accelerate our growth trajectory."

The shares of the company ended 2.38% in the green on Friday. The stock has fallen 17% in the year so far.
