Doms draws bold Q1 lines with 26 per cent revenue surge
MUMBAI: Doms Industries is sketching a strong start to FY26 and the numbers are anything but sketchy. The stationery-to-hygiene products maker chalked up a 26 per cent year-on-year jump in consolidated revenue to Rs 56,227.72 lakh for the quarter ended June 2025, compared with Rs 44,501.17 lakh in the same period last year.
Net profit for the quarter stood at Rs 5,910.20 lakh, up from Rs 5,430.25 lakh in Q1 FY25, powered by robust demand for its stationery range, which contributed a hefty Rs 52,623.15 lakh in sales. Hygiene products chipped in Rs 3,604.57 lakh, though slightly down from the previous quarter.
Operating profit from stationery alone touched Rs 10,079.58 lakh, with hygiene adding Rs 243.99 lakh. After depreciation of Rs 2,040.90 lakh and finance costs of Rs 347.76 lakh, profit before tax clocked Rs 7,934.01 lakh.
Expenses rose to Rs 48,742.21 lakh, led by higher material costs of Rs 27,335 lakh and employee expenses of Rs 7,640.85 lakh, as the company ramped up production and workforce strength to meet demand.
On the capital side, Doms reported total assets of Rs 159,863.53 lakh against liabilities of Rs 45,585.72 lakh. From its IPO proceeds, Rs 19,819.96 lakh has been utilised, leaving Rs 13,452.49 lakh earmarked mainly for project expansion.
The company’s earnings per share came in at Rs 9.44, up from Rs 8.54 a year ago. With both pencils and profits pointing upward, Doms seems to be writing a growth story that’s hard to erase.

Raj Cooling Systems launches Agreyas appliances brand
Emraan Hashmi named brand ambassador for consumer appliance push.
MUMBAI: A company known for cooling solutions is now heating up its ambitions in the home appliances market. Raj Cooling Systems Pvt. Ltd. has launched a new consumer appliances brand, Agreyas, marking its entry into India’s rapidly expanding home appliances sector valued at more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The move represents a strategic diversification for the company, which has traditionally focused on cooling solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Through Agreyas, the firm plans to tap into growing consumer demand for energy efficient and technology driven household appliances.
To build brand visibility, Agreyas has appointed Emraan Hashmi as its brand ambassador. The campaign has been developed under the banner of Zoommantra Productions, with actor and filmmaker Rohit Roy contributing to the creative direction.
The brand’s initial portfolio will include mid premium air conditioners, washing machines, geysers and other white goods designed to cater to modern Indian households seeking efficient and reliable appliances.
Raj Cooling Systems, founder and chairman Kalpesh Ramoliya said the launch aligns with the company’s broader expansion plans.
“The launch of Agreyas is in line with our vision to build a strong presence in India’s consumer electronics and home appliances market. The brand has been developed as a standalone identity to meet the evolving needs of Indian consumers,” he said.
Hashmi said the collaboration comes at a time when Indian buyers are increasingly looking for innovative and functional home solutions.
“I’m looking forward to working with Agreyas at a time when consumers are seeking more innovative and efficient home products. The brand reflects changing consumer behaviour around functionality, innovation and ease of use,” he said.
Raj Cooling Systems plans to invest around 10 million dollars in developing the brand, with an additional 5 million dollars earmarked over the next three to five years for product development and distribution expansion.
Agreyas will follow a multi channel distribution approach, selling through online platforms, retail outlets and dealer networks aimed at both urban and semi urban markets across India.
With the launch, the company is positioning Agreyas as a standalone consumer facing brand while continuing to leverage its existing manufacturing, engineering and research capabilities built through its core cooling solutions business.
