Segments
Chemicals drove the recovery with revenue of ₹1,610 crore, +25.1% YoY, and PBT of ₹352 crore versus ₹261 crore, but EV Products remained the drag with revenue of ₹29 crore and a ₹42 crore PAT loss versus a ₹14 crore loss YoY.
Key positives
- Consolidated revenue rose to ₹1,588 crore, +24.0% YoY, accelerating from the -1.1% YoY decline in Q3FY26.
- Chemicals EBITDA increased 29.4% YoY to ₹458 crore, ahead of Chemicals revenue growth of 25.1%, lifting segment EBITDA margin to 28.4% from 27.5%.
- Power and fuel cost declined to 12.5% of revenue from 15.0% YoY, while finance costs fell 13.3% YoY to ₹26 crore.
- Segment assets increased 20.4% YoY to ₹12,597 crore, supporting the group's expansion into EV and advanced materials.
Key concerns
- EV Products generated only ₹29 crore of revenue but reported a ₹42 crore PAT loss and a ₹30 crore EBITDA loss, showing that the new-energy platform remains materially loss-making.
- Consolidated EBITDA margin was approximately flat YoY at 26.9% despite 24.0% revenue growth because employee benefits and other expenses increased 38.0% YoY to ₹439 crore.
- Standalone revenue growth was only 10.9% YoY and standalone PAT growth was 7.5%, substantially below the consolidated growth rate.
