Public research · Report of
ABREL (NSE: ABREL), Residential property development: revenue of ₹407.2 crore in FY26 (-66.6% on FY25), an EBITDA margin of -88.2%, net profit of ₹-103.2 crore and net debt of ₹3,204 crore.
ABREL, formerly Century Textiles, is transforming into a residential developer through wholly owned Birla Estates. Its projects span MMR, NCR, Bengaluru and Pune. Completed-contract accounting delays revenue and profit until handover, so bookings, collections and delivery schedules are more informative than near-term EPS. The pulp and paper business was sold to ITC on 1 August 2026.

ABREL develops residential and commercial real estate through Birla Estates. Completed-contract accounting delays revenue recognition, so project deliveries and sale conversion matter more than a single quarter's revenue. Pulp and Paper is discontinued after the ITC transfer completed in Q2 FY27.
