Tempsens Instruments Share Price, IPO GMP, Results, Returns and Should You Buy?

Last updated: 26 October 2026

The Tempsens Instruments share price is around ₹535 on the NSE (latest available quote), about 78% above its IPO price of ₹300 but roughly 16% below its listing-day price of ₹634. The Udaipur-based maker of industrial temperature sensors, heaters and specialised cables listed after a ₹650 crore IPO that was subscribed 184 times and opened with a 111% premium, the biggest listing gain of the year so far. Since then the stock has cooled sharply and tested ₹486 earlier this month. This guide covers the latest NSE snapshot, recent sessions, the IPO and its final GMP, business model, yearly financials, valuation, peers, shareholding, key price levels and a balanced answer to the question most readers ask: should you buy Tempsens Instruments now?

Tempsens Instruments Business Overview

Tempsens, founded in 1987, is India’s largest manufacturer of contact and non-contact temperature sensors by revenue, with about 10.5% of the overall sensor market and about 21.3% of non-contact sensors in FY26.

Segment	What it sells
Temperature sensing	Thermocouples, RTDs, infrared pyrometers, online thermal imagers, furnace monitoring cameras
Electrical heating	Immersion, process, skid, cartridge, band, tubular and flexible heaters
Specialised cables	Control and power cables, instrumentation cables, thermocouple and RTD cables, nickel-alloy conductors

Business Mix (FY26)	Share of Revenue
Projects / OEM orders	67.55%
Replacement (MRO) orders	32.45%
Metal and petrochemical industries	41.13%
Customers buying across multiple segments	About 60%
Overseas revenue	About 28% (₹126 crore, up from ₹59 crore in FY24)
Top 10 customers	18.59%

Sensors used in steel plants, furnaces and chemical units wear out and are usually replaced every 12 to 24 months, which gives the company a repeat-revenue base on top of project orders. The company serves more than 3,800 customers.

Tempsens Instruments Yearly Financials (FY24 to FY26)

Year	Revenue from Operations (₹ Cr)	EBITDA Margin	Net Profit (₹ Cr)
FY24 (Mar 2024)	274.81	21.98%	40.92
FY25 (Mar 2025)	378.53	25.45%	62.56
FY26 (Mar 2026)	444.88	24.83%	71.07

Growth snapshot	Figure
Revenue CAGR (FY24–FY26)	27.2%
EBITDA CAGR (FY24–FY26)	36.1%
Net profit CAGR (FY24–FY26)	31.8%
Revenue growth FY25 / FY26	+37.7% / +17.5%
FY26 EBITDA	₹113.17 crore
FY26 PAT margin	15.6%
FY26 total income	₹455.86 crore
FY26 EPS (diluted)	₹8.33

Profits have grown faster than revenue over two years, but growth slowed noticeably in FY26 and margins slipped slightly as the company spent more on people, research and new business lines. The first results as a listed company, for the half year to September, are due by mid-November under market rules and will show whether growth is picking up again.

Tempsens Instruments Valuation and Key Ratios

Ratio	Value
Stock P/E (TTM)	About 71 (about 64 on FY26 diluted EPS of ₹8.33)
P/E at IPO price of ₹300	About 36
Price to book	Approx. 7.6x
Price to sales	Approx. 10x
ROE (FY26)	13.5%
ROCE (FY26)	21.6%
Debt to equity	0.15
Dividend yield	0.06%
Shares outstanding	Approx. 8.38 crore

Even after the fall from ₹634, the stock trades at roughly double the P/E at which the IPO was priced. A return on equity of 13.5% does not obviously justify 7 to 8 times book value, so the price still assumes that growth will pick up again and margins will stay above 24%.

Tempsens Instruments vs Peers

There is no listed Indian company that matches all three of Tempsens’ businesses, so comparisons are partial.

Company	EBITDA Margin (FY26)	Comment
Tempsens Instruments	24.8%	Sensors, heaters and cables; export share of about 28%
Thermo Cables	About 16.7%	Specialised cables
Wika India	About 10.2%	Pressure and temperature instruments

Tempsens earns clearly higher margins than the closest listed names, which supports a premium valuation. The flip side is that it is much smaller and more dependent on project orders from metal and petrochemical customers.

Tempsens Instruments Shareholding Pattern

Category	Before IPO	After IPO
Promoter and promoter group	80.51%	65.67%
Public and others	19.49%	34.33%

The promoters are Virendra Prakash Rathi, Vinay Rathi and Pratap Singh Talesara. Almost all of the ₹555 crore offer for sale (1.85 crore shares, about 22% of the company) came from selling shareholders, so most of the money raised went to them and not to the company. The fresh issue of ₹95 crore is meant for debt repayment, manufacturing expansion and general purposes.

Lock-ins matter here. Half of the anchor shares came out of lock-in in September. The rest, about 32 lakh shares or roughly 4% of the company, become free to sell in late November, which can add selling pressure around that time.

Tempsens Instruments Returns and Price Range

Comparison	Approx. Return
Since IPO price of ₹300	+78%
Since listing price of ₹634	-16%
From all-time high of ₹634.85	-16%
From all-time low of ₹486	+10%

Price Metric	Value
All-time high (listing day)	₹634.85
All-time low	₹486
IPO price	₹300

Tempsens Instruments Technicals: Key Price Levels

The stock is too new for 50-day or 200-day moving averages to be meaningful, so the levels below come from actual price action. They are reference points, not forecasts.

Level	Price (₹)	Why it matters
Resistance 3	634.85	Listing-day high and all-time high
Resistance 2	589.70	Mid-month high
Resistance 1	555–561	Recent breakdown zone
Current price	534.70	–
Support 1	530	Latest day low
Support 2	515	Early-month rebound close
Support 3	486	All-time low

A close below ₹486 would put the stock in uncharted territory below its post-listing range, while a recovery above ₹590 would suggest that the post-listing correction is over.

What to Watch Next

First half-year results as a listed company: revenue growth versus the 17.5% seen in FY26, and whether the EBITDA margin holds near 25%.
Order book and project timing: two-thirds of revenue comes from projects and OEM orders, so delays in customer capital spending show up quickly.
Anchor lock-in expiry in late November: a possible source of supply in the market.
Export growth: overseas sales more than doubled in two years, and the next leg depends on new regions and products.
Metal and petrochemical cycles: these two industries account for about 41% of revenue.
Debt repayment and capacity expansion: how quickly the fresh-issue money turns into higher output.

Should You Buy Tempsens Instruments Share Now?

No article can tell you what is right for your portfolio, so here is the evidence on both sides. This is not investment advice.

Points in Favour	Points of Caution
Largest Indian maker of temperature sensors, with a 21% share of non-contact sensors	P/E of about 64–71 is high for a business growing 17%
Revenue CAGR of 27% and profit CAGR of 32% over two years	Revenue growth slowed from 38% to 17.5% in FY26
EBITDA margin near 25%, far above listed peers	About two-thirds of revenue is project and OEM driven, which is lumpy
ROCE of 21.6% and low debt (D/E 0.15)	ROE of 13.5% is modest for the price paid
Replacement demand (about 32% of revenue) adds recurring income	Metal and petrochemical industries make up about 41% of revenue
Exports have more than doubled in two years	Most of the IPO was a sale by existing shareholders, not fresh capital
Strong institutional demand at IPO (QIB demand over 300x)	Remaining anchor lock-in ends in late November
Stock is already 16% off its high	Shares are volatile, with 4–5% daily moves and a 52% gap between the IPO price and the high

How different investors may look at it:

Investor Type	Possible View
IPO allottee with a gain	Still holds a profit of about 78% over the issue price, and may decide on a target based on the ₹590 and ₹634 levels
Long-term quality investor	May like the margins and market position, but may want a lower valuation or proof of growth first
Value-oriented	Will find 7.6 times book value and a P/E near 70 hard to justify
Short-term trader	Will watch the ₹530 and ₹486 supports, the ₹590 resistance and the November lock-in expiry

The honest summary: Tempsens is a well-run, high-margin niche manufacturer with a leading market position, but the stock is priced for strong growth that FY26 did not quite deliver. The first listed-company results will be the real test. Anyone considering it should decide their time horizon, position size and risk limit first, and speak to a SEBI-registered advisor.

Tempsens Instruments Stock Summary: Where It Stands Today

The stock is near ₹535, about 78% above its ₹300 IPO price, about 16% below its listing-day high of ₹634.85 and about 10% above its all-time low of ₹486. The business is profitable, lightly indebted and market-leading, yet growth is slowing, a large lock-in expiry is approaching and valuation is still rich.

Ather Energy Share Price, Results, Returns and Dividend

Last updated: 26 October 2026

The Ather Energy share price today is around ₹1,575 on the NSE (late-afternoon trade), up roughly 14% from yesterday’s close of ₹1,380. The jump follows the company’s Q2 FY27 results, in which Ather reported its first-ever quarterly net profit (₹1.26 crore), its second straight quarter of positive EBITDA and a 63% rise in revenue. This guide covers the latest NSE snapshot, recent sessions, quarterly and yearly financials, funding and capacity, valuation, competition, shareholding, key price levels and a balanced answer to the question most readers ask: should you buy Ather Energy now?

Ather Energy Last Trading Sessions

Session	Open (₹)	High (₹)	Low (₹)	Close / Last (₹)	Change
Today (results day)	1,365	1,640	1,345.70	1,575	+14%
Previous session (Friday)	1,431	1,442.30	1,356.90	1,380	-3.2%
Thursday	–	–	–	1,425.30	–
Friday of the week before	1,474.40	1,489.40	1,461.20	1,470	Flat

The stock had slipped about 6% over the previous week and was drifting lower into the results. Today’s move reverses that decline in a single session and takes the price back to the ₹1,575–1,610 zone where it traded in late August.

Ather Energy Q2 FY27 Results (Quarter Ended 30 September 2026)

Ather reported consolidated results for the quarter and half year ended 30 September 2026. The headline is the swing from a ₹154 crore loss to a small profit, supported by higher volumes, price actions and a better product mix.

Metric	Q2 FY27	Q2 FY26	YoY Change
Revenue from operations	₹1,464 crore	₹899 crore	+62.9%
Total income	₹1,527 crore	₹941 crore	+62.3%
EBITDA	₹74 crore	₹(91) crore	Turnaround
EBITDA margin	4.9%	(9.6%)	+1,450 bps
Net profit / (loss)	₹1.26 crore	₹(154) crore	Turnaround

Sequential view (Q2 FY27 vs Q1 FY27):

Metric	Q2 FY27	Q1 FY27	QoQ Change
Revenue from operations	₹1,464 crore	₹1,217 crore	+20.3%
EBITDA margin	4.9%	0.8%	+4.1 pts
Net profit / (loss)	₹1.26 crore	₹(51) crore	Turnaround

First half (H1 FY27): revenue rose to ₹2,681 crore from ₹1,543 crore (+74%), while the net loss narrowed to ₹50 crore from ₹332 crore.

Three points stand out. First, the operating turnaround is real: EBITDA has now been positive for two quarters in a row and margins widened by more than four points in one quarter. Second, the net profit is razor-thin. Operating revenue was still about ₹61 crore short of total expenses, so the ₹1.26 crore profit depends on other income. Third, the company says it could have sold roughly 13,000–15,000 more scooters a month with enough production capacity, which makes the capacity build-out the key driver from here.

Ather Energy Quarterly Results Trend (Last 5 Quarters)

Quarter	Revenue (₹ Cr)	EBITDA (₹ Cr)	EBITDA Margin	Net Profit / (Loss) (₹ Cr)
Q2 FY26	899	(91)	(9.6%)	(154)
Q3 FY26	954	(30)	(3.0%)	(85)
Q4 FY26	1,175	(30)	(2.5%)	(100)
Q1 FY27	1,217	~10	0.8%	(51)
Q2 FY27	1,464	74	4.9%	1.3

EBITDA margin has improved in each of the last five quarters, moving from about -10% to nearly +5%. Revenue has grown every quarter, and the sequential jump of 20% in Q2 is the strongest in this stretch. Margins are shown as reported on total income.

Ather Energy Yearly Financials (FY23 to TTM)

Year	Total Income (₹ Cr)	Net Loss (₹ Cr)
FY23 (Mar 2023)	1,806	(865)
FY24 (Mar 2024)	1,789	(1,060)
FY25 (Mar 2025)	2,305	(812)
FY26 (Mar 2026)	3,823	(517)
TTM (to Sep 2026)	Approx. 4,900	Approx. (235)

FY26 in detail: revenue from operations rose 62.8% to ₹3,672 crore, EBITDA loss narrowed to ₹257 crore from ₹531 crore (margin -6.7% vs -23%), and the net loss shrank 36% to ₹517 crore. Volumes grew 69% to about 2.63 lakh vehicles, and the retail network doubled from 351 to 700 Experience Centres.

Growth snapshot	Figure
FY26 revenue growth	+62.8%
FY26 volume growth	+69%
FY26 net loss reduction	36%
TTM revenue (approx.)	₹4,810 crore
Non-vehicle revenue (software, charging, accessories, service)	About 13% of income

Growth is strong, but the business has never reported a full-year profit. The TTM loss has fallen to roughly ₹235 crore, which is the clearest sign of how quickly the gap is closing.

Ather Energy Funding, Capacity and Balance Sheet

Item	Detail
IPO issue size	About ₹2,981 crore (issue price ₹321)
Hero MotoCorp warrants	76.19 lakh warrants for ₹960 crore subscribed in July
Preferential fundraise	Board approved up to ₹1,200 crore
Long-term debt to equity	Approx. 0.25
Current capacity	Approx. 35,000 units a month
Planned capacity	Approx. 77,000 units a month by early FY28
Factory 3.0 (AURIC), Phase 1	5 lakh units a year, 42,000 a month targeted by the end of FY27

Ather has little debt, and fresh equity from Hero MotoCorp and other investors funds the expansion. The risk is not solvency but execution: the new factory has to start on time and the cash burn has to keep falling as capacity doubles.

Ather Energy Valuation and Key Ratios

Ratio	Value
Stock P/E (TTM)	Not meaningful (net loss)
EPS (FY26)	₹(13.99)
EPS (TTM, approx.)	₹(6)
Price to sales (TTM)	Approx. 12.6x
Price to book	Approx. 15–25x (varies with the book value used)
Return on equity	Negative
Long-term debt to equity	Approx. 0.25
Dividend yield	0%
Shares outstanding	Approx. 38.3 crore

Because Ather has no meaningful earnings yet, the market is valuing it on growth, not profit. At about 12–13 times sales, the price already assumes that volumes, margins and market share keep improving for several years. Any slowdown tends to hit richly valued growth stocks hard.

Ather Energy vs Competitors: Electric Two-Wheeler Market

Ather’s closest rivals are listed parent companies whose electric arms sit inside much larger businesses, plus Ola Electric, the other pure-play. The table below shows the latest monthly registrations.

Brand	Units (latest month)	YoY Growth	Market Share
TVS Motor (iQube)	54,105	+126%	26.1%
Bajaj Auto (Chetak)	48,482	+139%	23.4%
Ather Energy	30,578	+56%	14.7%
Hero MotoCorp (Vida)	24,341	+83%	11.7%
Ola Electric	13,452	-3%	6.5%

This is the most important caution in the story. Ather’s share was about 18.6% in FY26 and about 17% for the first eight months of this year, but it has dipped to roughly 15% in the latest month as TVS and Bajaj more than doubled their volumes. Ather is growing, just slower than the two leaders. Ola Electric has lost the most ground, which is a benefit for the survivors. The four largest brands now hold about three-quarters of the market.

Ather Energy Shareholding Pattern

Category	Jun 2025	Dec 2025	Mar 2026	Jun 2026
Promoters	42.09%	40.86%	40.77%	40.72%
FIIs	24.07%	17.46%	17.22%	16.23%
DIIs	24.01%	28.10%	28.98%	29.29%
Public	7.46%	11.28%	10.78%	11.49%

Hero MotoCorp is the largest shareholder at about 30% and has been raising its stake, with a ₹1,758 crore purchase taking its fully diluted holding to roughly 32.8%. Co-founders Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain hold about 5% each. Foreign investors have trimmed their stake from 24% to 16% over the past year, while domestic institutions (mainly mutual funds) have stepped up. Hero’s repeated buying is a strong vote of confidence, though it also means a large part of the shares is held by long-term holders and not freely traded.

Ather Energy Returns and 52-Week Range

Period	Approx. Return
Today	+14%
1 month	+5%
6 months	+83%
1 year	+114%
Since IPO price of ₹321	About 4.9x

Returns are approximate and calculated at the current price.

52-Week Metric	Value
52-week high	₹1,744
52-week low	₹582.05
Below 52-week high (at ₹1,575)	Approx. 9.7%
Above 52-week low	Approx. 170%

Ather Energy Technicals: Key Price Levels

The levels below come from recent price action. They are reference points, not forecasts.

Level	Price (₹)	Why it matters
Resistance 3	1,744	52-week high
Resistance 2	1,640	Today’s intraday high
Resistance 1	1,610	Late-August high zone
Current price	1,575	–
Support 1	1,500	Earlier breakout zone
Support 2	1,470	Close in the middle of this month
Support 3	1,380	Last session’s close and the pre-results base

The stock has reclaimed the ₹1,470–1,500 zone it lost last week. Traders will watch whether it can hold above ₹1,500 and then retest the ₹1,744 high, while a fall back under ₹1,380 would erase today’s results rally.

What to Watch Next

Factory 3.0 start-up: trial production and the ramp to 42,000 units a month decide how quickly Ather can convert unmet demand into sales.
Mass-market EL platform: a lower-priced scooter is meant to take Ather into North India and Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns where it is still small.
Market share trend: a recovery above 16% would reassure investors; a further slide towards 13% would not.
Q3 festive quarter: volumes, margins and whether EBITDA margin can stay near 5%.
Other income dependence: the next quarter should show whether the company can post a profit from operations alone.
Subsidy rules: any change in government incentives for electric two-wheelers affects pricing and demand.

Should You Buy Ather Energy Share Now?

No article can tell you what is right for your portfolio, so here is the evidence on both sides. This is not investment advice.

Points in Favour	Points of Caution
First-ever quarterly net profit and a second positive EBITDA quarter	Net profit of ₹1.26 crore is tiny and relies on other income
Revenue up 63% year on year, 20% quarter on quarter	Market share has slipped from about 18.6% to about 15%
EBITDA margin improved from about -10% to +4.9% in five quarters	Trades at about 12.6x sales with no earnings to support it
Demand exceeds capacity; new factory adds a large step-up	Delays in Factory 3.0 would stall growth
Backed by Hero MotoCorp, which keeps adding to its stake	About three-quarters of volume comes from a single scooter family (Rizta)
Low debt (D/E about 0.25) and fresh equity funding	TVS and Bajaj are growing more than twice as fast
Premium brand with 13% revenue from software, charging and services	Stock rose 14% in one day and about 114% in a year, so expectations are high

How different investors may look at it:

Investor Type	Possible View
Long-term growth investor	May like the turnaround and capacity plans, but should size the position for high volatility
Value-oriented	Will find the valuation hard to justify on current earnings
Short-term trader	Will watch the ₹1,500 support, the ₹1,640 day high and the ₹1,744 record
Risk-averse investor	May prefer to wait for two or three more profitable quarters and for market share to stabilise

The honest summary: Ather has moved from a loss-making start-up to the edge of break-even faster than most expected, and demand is strong. But the profit is still symbolic, competition is intensifying, and the price already reflects a lot of good news. Anyone considering it should decide their time horizon, position size and risk limit first, and speak to a SEBI-registered advisor.

Ather Energy Stock Summary: Where It Stands Today

The stock is near ₹1,575, about 10% below its 52-week high of ₹1,744 and more than 2.7 times its 52-week low. The company has just reported its first net profit, positive EBITDA for the second time and a 63% jump in revenue, yet its market share is falling and the valuation leaves little room for error.

Updated on 24 Oct 2026

If you are planning to buy jewellery, coins or bars, the first thing you check every morning is the gold rate today. Prices of the yellow metal change almost every day, and even a small movement can change your final bill by thousands of rupees. This guide gives you today’s gold rate for 22 carat and 24 carat gold, per gram and per 10 gram prices, major city rates and practical tips so that you can buy at the right time and at the right price.

Gold prices in India have cooled a little after the strong run seen earlier this month, and the metal is trading slightly softer today. For buyers who were waiting for a dip, this is a window worth watching.

Gold Rate Today in India

The gold rate in India is set by a mix of global bullion prices, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, import duty and local demand. Below are the indicative rates for today. Your local jeweller may quote a slightly different number because of local taxes and daily rate cards.

Purity	Price per 1 gram	Price per 8 grams	Price per 10 grams
24K gold (99.9% pure)	₹14,247	₹1,13,976	₹1,42,470
22K gold (91.6% pure)	₹13,059	₹1,04,472	₹1,30,590

So the 24 carat gold rate today is around ₹14,247 per gram, while today gold rate (22 carat) stands near ₹13,059 per gram. The 1 gram gold rate today is the base figure that every other quantity is calculated from, so it is the most useful number to remember.

What Affects Gold Prices Every Day?

The gold rate is never random. Several factors push it up or down.

Global Gold Prices

International bullion prices are the biggest driver. When global gold rises, Indian prices follow, and when it falls, domestic rates ease.

Rupee vs Dollar

India imports most of its gold, so a weaker rupee makes imported gold costlier and lifts local prices even if global rates stay flat.

Import Duty and Taxes

Customs duty, GST and state levies change the final price. Any change in duty announced by the government shows up in the rate quickly.

Interest Rates and Inflation

When interest rates fall or inflation worries rise, investors move money to gold as a safe asset, which increases demand and price. When rates rise, gold often loses some of its shine.

Festival and Wedding Demand

The festive and wedding season is the busiest period for gold buying in India. Higher demand often supports prices, though large corrections can still happen.

Global Tensions

Geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility push investors toward safe-haven assets, and gold is the first choice for many of them.

How Is the Final Price of Gold Jewellery Calculated?

Many buyers are surprised when the bill is higher than the rate they saw online. This is how the final amount is calculated.

Final price = (Weight × gold rate per gram) + making charges + GST + hallmarking fee

Making charges: These typically range from about 8% to 25% of the gold value, depending on how intricate the design is. Machine-made pieces cost less than handcrafted ones.
GST: 3% is charged on the gold value and 5% on making charges.
Hallmarking fee: A small fixed fee per piece for BIS hallmarking.
Stone and other costs: If the jewellery has diamonds or gemstones, their weight and price are added separately.

Quick example: for a 10 gram 22K chain at ₹13,059 per gram, the gold value is ₹1,30,590. With 10% making charges (₹13,059) and GST, the total comes to roughly ₹1.48 lakh. So always ask for an itemised bill.

Tips to Buy Gold at the Right Price

Check the rate before you visit. Look up todays gold rate in your city so that you know what to expect.
Insist on BIS hallmark. Look for the 916 mark on 22K jewellery and 999 on 24K coins and bars. The six-digit HUID code should be present.
Compare making charges. Two shops can have the same gold rate but very different labour charges.
Ask about buyback and exchange policy. Know what deduction applies if you sell or exchange later.
Keep the bill and certificate. They are essential for resale, insurance and exchange.
Consider buying in parts. Spreading purchases over a few weeks helps you average out price swings.
Avoid cash-only deals. A proper invoice protects you.

Gold as an Investment Option

Jewellery is emotional and cultural, but if your goal is pure investment, there are better options than buying ornaments with heavy making charges.

Gold coins and bars: Physical 24K gold with lower making charges. Buy from trusted, certified sellers.
Sovereign Gold Bonds and gold ETFs: Allow you to invest without storing physical gold.
Digital gold: Lets you buy small amounts, even a single gram, through apps.
Gold mutual funds: Suitable for systematic monthly investing.

Most financial planners suggest keeping gold at around 5% to 10% of your overall portfolio as a hedge against inflation and market risk.

Gold Rate Trend: What Buyers Should Know

Gold touched very high levels earlier in the year and has since moved in a broad range. Prices were stronger in the first half of this month and have eased a little in the last few sessions. A softer rate often brings buyers back to showrooms, which can steady prices again, so it makes sense to watch the daily movement instead of waiting for a perfect bottom.

Remember that no one can predict the exact top or bottom. If you need gold for a wedding or a festival, buying in two or three instalments is a safe approach.

How to Check the Gold Rate Today Correctly

Compare the rate on at least two or three reliable sources.
Check whether the rate is for 22K or 24K, and whether it is per gram or per 10 grams.
Confirm if the quote includes GST and making charges. Most online rates do not.
Remember that morning and evening rates can differ because the market moves through the day.

Final Words

Whether you track the gold rate today for an upcoming wedding, a festival purchase or a long-term investment, the smartest approach is to stay informed, compare quotes and buy only hallmarked gold. Keep an eye on the daily rate, understand the difference between 22K and 24K, and always check the full bill including making charges and GST before you pay.

IRFC Q2 FY27 Results (Quarter Ended 30 September 2026)

IRFC announced its unaudited standalone results for the quarter and half year ended 30 September 2026 on 15 October 2026. Net profit rose about 10% year on year, and revenue grew faster than profit.

Metric	Q2 FY27	Q2 FY26	YoY Change

Interest expense	₹5,917 crore	₹4,544 crore	+30.2%

Sequential view (Q2 FY27 vs Q1 FY27):

Net profit	₹1,958 crore	₹1,927 crore	+1.6%
EPS	₹1.50	₹1.47	+2.0%

Three points stand out. First, profit growth of about 10% is steady but slower than revenue growth of 23%, because interest costs grew faster than income. Second, financing margin of 24% is lower than a year ago (28%) but better than Q1 FY27 (22%). Third, quarterly profit has now crossed ₹1,950 crore for the first time, which is a fresh high for the company.

Under the T+1 settlement cycle, the ex-dividend date normally falls on the record date itself, so shares must be held before the 23 October session to qualify. Confirm the exact ex-date on the exchange circular. The share price usually adjusts down by about the dividend amount on the ex-date.

Sep 2026	7,866	5,917	1,902	24%	1,958	1.50

Net profit has risen in six of the last eight quarters, and the climb from ₹1,613 crore to ₹1,958 crore over two years is the core of the IRFC story. Revenue, however, is mostly pass-through lease income, which is why margins stay in a narrow band.

IRFC Yearly Financials (FY22 to TTM)

Year	Revenue (₹ Cr)	Net Profit (₹ Cr)	EPS (₹)	Dividend Payout	ROE

5 years	12%	10%
3 years	5%	3%
TTM	13%	8%

Growth has slowed compared with the post-2020 boom years, but the trailing twelve months show a pickup in revenue. IRFC pays almost no tax, which is why profit before tax and net profit are nearly identical.

IRFC Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Item (₹ Crore)	Mar 2024	Mar 2025	Mar 2026	Sep 2026

Total liabilities / assets	4,85,082	4,88,835	5,16,676	5,27,977

Reserves have grown by about ₹11,400 crore in two and a half years, while borrowings have risen only about 5%. At September 2026, equity plus reserves are about ₹60,574 crore against borrowings of ₹4,31,483 crore, which works out to a debt-to-equity ratio of roughly 7.1. That is normal for a financing company.

Cash Flow (₹ Crore)	FY24	FY25	FY26

Investing activity	-8	-0	-3
Financing activity	-8,046	-2,572	21,560
Net cash flow	-140	5,658	-5,469

Operating cash flow turned sharply negative in FY26 because IRFC lent and leased more than it collected, and it funded that through fresh borrowing. Readers should watch this line, as it shows how fast the loan book is growing.

IFCI	67.50	101.41	18,187	0.00	60	-17.40	-19.68	4.90

IRFC grows faster than PFC and REC, but it also trades at a much higher P/E (14.2 against about 4–5) and offers a lower dividend yield and lower ROCE. The market is paying a premium for its zero-NPA, railway-backed profile and its steady growth, not for high returns on capital.

Support 3	76.50

The stock has now moved above most of these pivots, so traders will watch the 50-day average near ₹82.30 as the next hurdle and the 52-week low of ₹74.06 as the key floor.

Should You Buy IRFC Share Now?

No article can tell you what is right for your portfolio, so here is the evidence on both sides. This is not investment advice.

Points in Favour	Points of Caution
Record quarterly profit of ₹1,958 crore in Q2 FY27	Price is below the 50, 100 and 200-day averages
Revenue up 23% year on year	Profit growth is only about 10%, margins thinner than last year
Zero-NPA, government-linked borrower	ROCE of 5.64% and ROE near 13% are modest
₹1.15 interim dividend; trailing yield 2.61%	P/E of 14.2 is far above PFC and REC (about 4–5)
Reserves growing steadily (₹47,505 crore)	Debt-to-equity of about 7.1 makes profit sensitive to borrowing costs
P/E and price are well below the 52-week high	1-year return of about -37% shows a strong downtrend
DII holding has risen to about 4%	Government stake has been reduced from 86.36% to 82.90%
	Operating cash flow was -₹27,026 crore in FY26

How different investors may look at it:

Investor Type	Possible View
Dividend-focused, long-term	May like the payout and the stable earnings, but should compare yields with PFC and REC
Value-oriented	May note the price is far below its high, but should weigh the premium valuation against peers
Short-term trader	Will focus on the downtrend, the 50-day average near ₹82.30 and the ₹74.06 low
Risk-averse investor	May prefer to wait for the price to settle above key averages

The honest summary is that IRFC is a steady, low-risk-of-default business with modest returns on capital, and its price depends heavily on market mood towards PSU stocks. Anyone considering it should decide on their time horizon, position size and risk limit first, and speak to a SEBI-registered advisor.

IRFC Stock Summary: Where It Stands Today

The stock is near ₹80.70, about 9% above its 52-week low and about 41% below its high. The company has just reported its highest-ever quarterly profit and declared a ₹1.15 interim dividend, yet the chart is still below all major moving averages and valuation is richer than that of other railway and power financiers.

The gold to silver ratio is roughly 63.5, meaning one gram of 24K gold costs about 63.5 times one gram of silver.

Gold Rate Today in Top 6 States

Gold prices today are almost identical across major Indian states, because the base rate is set by international bullion prices and the rupee, not by local markets. Small differences of a few rupees per gram come from local taxes, transport costs and jeweller margins. Here is the gold rate today in six states with the highest jewellery demand, as reported for their major cities.

State	City	24K Gold (per gram)	22K Gold (per gram)	18K Gold (per gram)	24K Gold (per 10 gram)
Delhi	Delhi	₹14,622	₹13,404	₹10,970	₹1,46,220
Maharashtra	Mumbai	₹14,607	₹13,389	₹10,955	₹1,46,070
Tamil Nadu	Chennai	₹14,607	₹13,389	₹10,969	₹1,46,070
Karnataka	Bengaluru	₹14,607	₹13,389	₹10,955	₹1,46,070
Gujarat	Ahmedabad	₹14,612	₹13,394	₹10,960	₹1,46,120
West Bengal	Kolkata	₹14,607	₹13,389	₹10,955	₹1,46,070

Delhi has the highest 24K gold rate among these six cities today at ₹14,622 per gram, followed by Ahmedabad at ₹14,612. Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru and Kolkata share the same 24K rate of ₹14,607 per gram. Chennai’s 18K rate is slightly higher at ₹10,969 per gram.

Why Gold Prices Differ Slightly Between Cities

Even though the benchmark is the same, you may notice a small gap in the gold rate today between Delhi, Gujarat and the southern states. This happens for three reasons. First, jewellers’ associations in each city announce their own daily rates, which include local handling and transport costs. Second, regional demand patterns affect the premium dealers charge over the base price. Third, some cities have more wholesale competition than others, which narrows margins. For buyers, the difference is usually small, so making charges matter far more than the city-level rate.

Gold Price Trend This Week

The 10-day table tells a clear story. Gold prices today are lower than they were at the start of the period. The 24K rate fell by ₹322 per gram between 13 and 22 October, which is a decline of roughly 2.2%. The 22K rate fell by ₹296 per gram over the same period, a similar percentage drop.

The movement was not a straight line. Gold dropped for three straight sessions from 13 to 15 October, then recovered modestly on 17 and 19 October, with the 24K rate climbing back to ₹14,804 per gram. The sharp ₹196 fall on 20 October erased that recovery, and prices have since consolidated around ₹14,607 to ₹14,608 per gram. For buyers, this means the gold rate today is about 1.3% below the level seen on 19 October.

Silver Price Today in India

The silver price today is ₹229.90 per gram and ₹2,29,900 per kilogram. This is ₹100 per kg lower than Wednesday’s rate of ₹2,30,000. Silver prices today follow global trends and the rupee-dollar exchange rate, and they are also influenced by industrial demand from the solar, electronics and electric vehicle sectors. When the rupee weakens and global prices hold steady, silver becomes costlier in India. The reverse is also true.

Unlike gold, silver is both a precious metal and an industrial metal. That dual role makes it more volatile. A slowdown in factory demand can pull silver down even when gold holds steady, and a surge in solar manufacturing can push it up faster than gold.

Silver Rate Today per Gram, 10 Gram, 100 Gram and 1 Kg

Silver Rate Today in Top 6 States

Silver prices today are uniform across the major cities, so the rate is the same in every state listed below. Any difference you see at a shop comes from making charges, purity of the item and the jeweller’s margin, not from the base silver rate.

The silver price chart for 2026 has been volatile. Silver peaked at ₹3,10,000 per kg in mid-May, then fell sharply through June. It recovered during August, slipped again in September, and has now settled near ₹2,29,900 per kg. Today’s silver rate is about 26% below the May high, which shows how quickly silver prices can swing.

Gold and Silver Prices Today: What Is Driving the Market?

Several factors are shaping gold and silver prices today. Understanding them helps you judge whether a move is a short-term wobble or the start of a bigger trend.

1. International Bullion Rates

Indian gold and silver prices track benchmark global markets such as COMEX and the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). In the middle of October, COMEX gold traded near $4,190 per ounce and COMEX silver near $57.77 per ounce. When these benchmarks rise or fall, Indian rates usually follow within the same session.

2. Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate

Because India imports most of its gold and silver, the rupee matters as much as global prices. The rupee is trading near ₹94.5 per US dollar. A weaker rupee makes imported bullion more expensive. This is why Indian prices sometimes fall or stay flat even when COMEX prices rise: a currency effect can offset the global gain.

3. US Dollar and Bond Yields

A stronger US dollar and higher bond yields normally pressure bullion, because gold and silver pay no interest. A weaker dollar and softer Treasury yields tend to support prices. The dollar touched an 18-month high on 14 October before easing, which coincided with the soft patch in gold and silver prices.

4. Festive and Wedding Demand

India is the one of the world’s largest consumer markets for gold jewellery, and demand rises sharply around Dhanteras, Diwali and the winter wedding season. Jewellers often run offers during this period, and buyers tend to purchase ahead of time. Strong festive demand can support domestic prices, although it rarely overrides global trends on its own.

5. Import Duty and Taxes

Government duties and levies change the landed cost of bullion and are reflected in domestic prices. Any change in import duty can move gold and silver prices today by a noticeable amount, regardless of what happens abroad.

6. Industrial Demand for Silver

Silver is widely used in solar panels, electronics and electric vehicles. That demand makes silver more sensitive to manufacturing data and economic growth than gold is.

7. Wider Market Mood

Equity markets, crude oil and geopolitical news also influence bullion. On Thursday, the Sensex was trading near 73,710 and crude oil near $110 per barrel, a mix that keeps investors cautious. Gold is often bought as a hedge when markets are uncertain.

Gold vs Silver: Which One Looks Better Today?

Silver and Gold serve different purposes, so the better choice depends on your goal.

Feature	Gold	Silver
Main use	Jewellery, store of value, investment	Industrial use, jewellery, investment
Price volatility	Lower	Higher
Today’s rate	₹14,607 per gram (24K)	₹229.90 per gram
Ticket size	High	Lower, easier for small budgets
Safe-haven status	Strong	Moderate

Gold is widely treated as a long-term store of value and a hedge against inflation. Silver is cheaper per gram, which makes it accessible for small investors, but it moves more sharply in both directions.

How Much Will You Pay for Gold Jewellery Today?

The gold rate quoted above is only the base value. A jeweller adds making charges and GST on top. As an example, 10 grams of 22K gold has a base value of ₹1,33,890. With making charges of 12% (₹16,067) and 3% GST (₹4,499), the total comes to about ₹1,54,456.

Making charges vary widely from one shop to another, so they can change your final bill by thousands of rupees. Here is how the total for 10 grams of 22K gold changes at different making charge percentages, using today’s gold rate and a 3% GST on the total value.

Making Charge	Making Charge Amount	GST (3%)	Estimated Total
8%	₹10,711	₹4,338	₹1,48,939
10%	₹13,389	₹4,418	₹1,51,697
12%	₹16,067	₹4,499	₹1,54,456
15%	₹20,084	₹4,619	₹1,58,593

The same logic applies to silver. Ten grams of silver at today’s rate has a base value of ₹2,299. With making charges of about ₹276 and GST of about ₹77, the total is roughly ₹2,652. Always ask your jeweller for an itemised bill that separates the metal value, making charges and tax.

Understanding Gold Purity: 24K, 22K and 18K

Purity	Gold Content	Also Called	Best For
24K	99.9%	Pure gold, 999	Coins, bars, investment
22K	91.6%	916 gold	Traditional jewellery
18K	75%	750 gold	Diamond-studded and designer jewellery

Pure 24K gold is soft, so it is rarely used for jewellery. Jewellers mix it with metals such as copper and silver to create 22K and 18K gold, which are stronger and hold their shape. The lower the karat, the lower the price per gram, but the lower the gold content as well.

For silver, 999 purity indicates 99.9% pure silver, which is the standard for coins and bars. Sterling silver, commonly used for jewellery, is 92.5% pure and is marked as 925.

How to Check Hallmark and Avoid Fraud

Before you buy gold jewellery at today’s gold rate, follow these checks:

Look for the BIS hallmark. Genuine hallmarked gold carries the Bureau of Indian Standards mark, the purity grade (such as 22K916) and a 6-digit alphanumeric HUID code.
Verify the HUID. The unique ID can be checked on the BIS Care app or the BIS website, so you can confirm the item’s details.
Ask for a detailed invoice. The bill should list the weight, purity, rate per gram, making charges and GST separately.
Check net weight. Stones, enamel and other attachments are not gold, so confirm the net gold weight.
Compare rates. Check the day’s gold price from at least two sources before you pay.
Understand the buyback terms. Ask in writing how the jeweller will value your jewellery when you sell it back, including any deductions.

Tips for Buying Gold and Silver Today

Buy only BIS hallmarked gold jewellery with a 6-digit HUID, and check the purity mark (24K, 22K or 18K).
Compare the gold price today across two or three jewellers, and ask for a written breakdown of making charges.
For investment, consider 999.9 purity coins and bars from reputed refiners such as MMTC-PAMP, which sell 24K gold and 999.9+ silver with assayer-certified purity.
Spread your purchases across a few sessions instead of buying everything in one go, since daily gold and silver prices move frequently.
Keep the invoice safe, and check the buyback policy before purchasing coins and bars.

Tips for Selling Old Gold and Silver

Check the current gold and silver rate before you go, so you know what to expect.
Get your item tested for purity at a certified outlet. Jewellers usually deduct for impurities and wastage.
Compare offers from more than one buyer, and ask whether the rate is based on today’s price.
Carry your purchase invoice and ID. Original bills and hallmark details often help you get a better valuation.
Remember that buyback rates are generally lower than the rate at which you buy, because of purity deductions and margins.

Options to Invest in Gold and Silver

Physical jewellery is only one way to hold gold and silver. Investors also consider:

Coins and bars: Available in 24K gold and 999.9 silver, usually with lower making charges than jewellery.
Digital gold and silver: Platforms let you buy small amounts online and hold them in a vault. Check the provider’s credibility, charges and terms before investing.
Gold and silver ETFs: Exchange traded funds track the metal’s price and are traded on stock exchanges through a demat account.
Gold and silver mutual funds: Funds of funds that invest in the underlying ETFs, usable through a SIP.
