Executive summary
Segment reporting was restructured into Living Essentials, Industrial Essentials, and Farm Essentials to better align with business operations and investor feedback, focusing on non-cyclical, sustainability-led products.
Revenue for Q1FY27 rose to ₹4,255 crore, up 14% year-over-year, driven by higher sales volumes across segments.
EBITDA declined to ₹555 crore from ₹649 crore year-over-year, mainly due to lower export pricing from the US to South-East Asia.
PAT dropped to ₹60 crore from ₹316 crore year-over-year, impacted by lower realizations, reduced other income, and lower JV income.
Net debt decreased to ₹5,692 crore as of June 2026, reflecting asset monetization.
