What the reporting says

Trident shares jumped 13.42% after the company reported a 93.1% year-on-year rise in September-quarter profit to ₹175.5 crore and board approval for a ₹4,650 crore expansion and modernisation plan. Revenue from operations fell 3.8% to ₹1,719.48 crore, even as EBITDA rose 46.5%, according to market summaries. The reporting does not say when the expansion will begin or how it will be funded.

Why it matters

Trident’s stock moved sharply higher after Q2 numbers showed a strong profit increase to ₹175.5 crore and a 46.5% rise in EBITDA, even though revenue declined 3.8% to ₹1,719.48 crore. The board also cleared an in-principle ₹4,650 crore expansion and modernisation programme, which likely added to investor interest.
