According to the company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements, sales reached Rs1.782 billion during the quarter, compared with Rs1.592 billion in the corresponding quarter of 2025. This represents an increase of around 12% year-on-year.

Overall, KSB Pumps’ first-quarter results point to a positive start to the year, with double-digit growth in sales and profit and an improvement in per-share earnings. The stronger bottom-line performance will be an important factor for investors as the company progresses through the remaining quarters of 2026.
