The company’s revenue also fell 47 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 140.5 crore from Rs 265.5 crore a year ago, according to its stock exchange filing.

Its EBITDA declined 56 per cent to Rs 29.2 crore from Rs 66.4 crore in Q2 FY25, with margins narrowing to 20.7 per cent from 25 per cent a year earlier.

During the first half of FY26, Arvind Smartspaces recorded bookings worth Rs 607 crore, slightly lower than Rs 666 crore in the same period last financial year.
