    CurrentLoans and advances at INR146.45 crores as of March '26
    TargetMeaningful reduction in loans and advances

    Why it matters

    High working capital can strain cash flow; normalization indicates improved operational efficiency and better cash conversion.

    Our loan and advances stood at approximately INR146.45 crores as on March '26, and we expect that this will be reduced meaningfully in the near term as short-term positions are recovered.

    Q&A highlights

    5

    “The only differentiation is these people come with the international mandates, so because they are essentially property management companies. So therefore, they come with international mandates, but they do not have in-house capabilities to offer these services that we offer. And therefore, these are all outsourced services for them. ... we are the direct service providers to the customer.”

    Clarifies Krystal's competitive advantage as a direct service provider with in-house capabilities versus property management companies that outsource, which is crucial for winning large corporate mandates.

    Q4 FY26 Performance Overview

    Krystal Integrated Services reported a Q4 FY26 revenue of INR364.94 crores, marking a nearly 12% year-on-year decline.

Despite the revenue dip, PAT increased over 11% YoY to INR18.85 crores, with PAT margin expanding by 106 basis points to 5.16%, reflecting improved operational efficiency.
