If Indian corporates were students, May 7, 2025, was the day they nervously stood outside the principal’s office—except the principal was the stock market, and the office was filled with analysts sipping chai and crunching numbers like papad. Yes, it was Q4 FY25 results day for some major Indian companies, and boy, did we see everything: from gold stars to “please see me after class” reports.

Let’s decode who aced it, who barely passed, and who needs summer school.

1. 

Coal India Ltd. – Still Smoking Hot

• Net Profit: ₹9,593 crore (YoY up 12%)
• Revenue: ₹37,825 crore (down 1% YoY)
• Dividend: ₹5.15 per share

Coal India might be digging dirt, but it’s digging gold in its financials. Even with a slight dip in revenue (maybe the coal wasn’t hot enough), profits soared like your uncle’s blood pressure during IPL. Operational efficiency, tight belt economics, and some smart cost-trimming helped this mining mammoth score big.

2. 

Punjab National Bank (PNB) – Paisa Nikalta Bank

• Net Profit: ₹4,567 crore (YoY up 52%)
• Net Interest Income (NII): ₹10,757 crore
• Dividend: ₹2.90 per share

PNB came out swinging like Virat Kohli on a Sunday. With a 52% jump in profit, this PSU bank proved it’s not just surviving—it’s thriving. Fewer bad loans, better provisioning, and a bit of desi jugaad, and voilà—money raining like wedding season.

3. 

MRF Ltd. – Inflation-Proof Tyres & Dividends

• Net Profit: ₹1,234 crore (YoY up 31%)
• Dividend: ₹229 per share

No, that’s not a typo. MRF has decided to drop a dividend bomb—₹229 a share. That’s more than a Zomato delivery boy makes in a day. The auto industry’s wheelman, MRF, rolled smoothly on the highway of high profits thanks to rising vehicle sales and better margins.

4. 

Dabur India Ltd. – Swadeshi Sobriety

• Net Profit: ₹320 crore (YoY down 8.4%)
• Dividend: ₹5.25 per share

Looks like rural India wasn’t sipping enough Chyawanprash this quarter. Dabur, our good old ayurvedic friend, saw profits take a herbal hit. Input costs pinched and demand sneezed—turns out immunity boosters aren’t immune to inflation.

5. 

Voltas Ltd. – Air-Conditioning the Profits

• Net Profit: ₹135 crore (YoY up 18%)
• Revenue: ₹2,150 crore

With Indian summers now hotter than political debates on Arnab’s show, Voltas laughed all the way to the bank. Their cooling products segment ensured that not just ACs but also profits saw a healthy 18% rise. Cool, literally.

6. 

Blue Star Ltd. – Chill Vibes & Chiller Revenue

• Net Profit: ₹105 crore
• Revenue: ₹1,850 crore

The other AC guy in town, Blue Star, also delivered a fresh report card—nothing dramatic, but solid. Profits up, market share stable, and everyone just… chillin’. The commercial refrigeration segment saw a surge, likely from more cold beers being stored for heatwaves and heartbreaks.

7. 

Tata Chemicals Ltd. – Steady as a Tata Should Be

• Net Profit: ₹340 crore
• Revenue: ₹3,200 crore

Tata Chemicals did what Tata companies do best—underpromise and overdeliver quietly. Their essential products saw consistent demand, and the margins didn’t fizzle like soda. Safe, steady, salt-of-the-earth performance—quite literally.

8. 

United Breweries Ltd. – Yeast Mode Activated

• Net Profit: ₹220 crore
• Revenue: ₹1,500 crore

Party season clearly didn’t stop for beer. Kingfisher’s parent United Breweries raised a toast to higher profits. While the Indian middle class drinks their frustration away (budget permitting), UBL is cashing in on premium demand.

9. 

HUDCO – Building Profits Brick by Brick

• Net Profit: ₹450 crore
• Revenue: ₹2,845 crore (YoY up 38%)

HUDCO’s construction loans and housing disbursements got a boost bigger than a contractor’s chai budget. The company built its way to a nearly 20% profit growth. Safe housing, solid returns. Mama approved.

10. 

Paytm – Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai (Still in Losses Though)

• Net Loss: ₹539.8 crore (slightly better than ₹549.6 crore YoY)
• Revenue: ₹1,911.5 crore (down 15.7%)

Paytm’s report card reads like a college kid saying, “Technically, I failed, but by less than last time.” Losses narrowed, but revenue fell. In short, the vibes were better, but the math teacher still gave them a red mark.

Summary Table

Final Thoughts: 

Bulls, Beers & Biryani

So, what did we learn from these results?

• PSU banks and coal are still solid bets in Bharat 2.0.
• FMCG is struggling with rural moods.
• ACs and beers are booming—because we can’t chill without chilling.
• Paytm still hasn’t found the QR code to profitability.

As markets digest these numbers, investors will play a cautious game of snakes & ladders—except the snakes are inflation and the ladders are dividends. Keep sipping chai, stay informed, and as always—invest like your dadi knits sweaters: slow, consistent, and with love.
