FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
The standalone and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, forming part of this Annual Report, have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and as amended from time to time.
The first three quarters of FY 2025-26, were marked by disruptions and uncertainties, particularly around pending regulatory clarity on mandatory use of rPET Chips in plastic packaging, which created challenges in planning and execution. The FY25-26 still concluded on a high note, reflecting both the resilience of Company’s business model and the agility of the teams in navigating a challenging
environment. Both - standalone and subsidiary businesses performed well during the last quarter of FY 25-26.
Full year performance is almost at par with FY24-25 numbers in terms of production, sale volume and revenue, however EBITDA and profitability were hit adversely due to weak performance of first nine months. On standalone basis, the total income of the Company was T1053.90 crore during financial year 2025-26 as against T1017.02 crore during financial year 2024-25. The EBITDA stood at T 56.95 crore as compared to T95.50 crore in the previous financial year. During the year under review, the Company earned Net Profit of T47.83 crore as compared to T75.48 crore in the financial year 2024-25.
On consolidated basis, the Company recorded a total income of R1499.08 crore during financial year 2025-26 as against R1483.64 crore in the previous financial year. The EBITDA stood at R141.71 crore as against R210.58 crore of the previous financial year. The consolidated net profit for the year was R38.21 crore compared to R103.12 crore of the previous financial year.
On March 31, 2026, the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change issued the much-awaited notification, clearing the smoke over adoption of rPET granules and reaffirming mandatory recycled plastics usage targets. This clarity has removed lingering uncertainty and has enhanced industry confidence and provided us the strong visibility of demand.
In view of this, the Group has taken decisive steps to strengthen its capacity and product portfolio. A 22,500-ton brownfield expansion of rPET granules at Warangal has commissioned and another 22,500-ton expansion and debottlenecking initiatives are underway, to push installed capacity to nearly one lakh tons by FY 26-27 end.
The performance of the Company during the current financial year 2026-27 is expected to improve, as positive signals emerge in both the standalone and consolidated businesses. Barring unforeseen circumstances, your Directors expect the Company to achieve better results during the year. A more detailed analysis and current outlook is available in the Management Discussion and Analysis section of this report.
