Highlights
Revenue growthRevenue +14% YoY to ₹2,474 Cr; EBITDA +12% to ₹310 Cr.
MarginsCarbon black spread ₹17,500/t ex-tariff refund; ahead of guidance.
Demand visibilityCustomers destocking; cautious buying; gradual H2 improvement expected.
Management confidenceDefensive on volumes; blames geopolitics; reiterates EBITDA guidance.

Growth

Consolidated revenue +14% YoY, EBITDA +12%, PAT +20%; the tariff refund flatters profit quality.

Outlook

EBITDA-per-ton double-digit growth over FY26 reiterated; the ~7% FY27 volume target is now 'challenging'.

Risks

Volumes weak from spot pullback; tariff refund likely non-recurring; crude volatility and elevated freight costs.
