Management Commentary and Outlook
The management attributed the resilient performance to a favourable product mix and disciplined cost management, which helped maintain EBITDA margins at 12.9% for the full year. The company noted that it delivered a resilient performance in FY2025-26 despite a challenging operating environment marked by subdued paint industry demand and geopolitical uncertainties. Over the last five years, the company has doubled its revenues and nearly tripled its profits, scaling from annual revenues of just over ₹100 crore in FY2008 to approaching the ₹1,000 crore milestone in FY2026.
Strategic Outlook and CAPEX
Looking ahead, the company announced a ₹100 crore CAPEX program to be deployed over the next two years. The investment will focus on capacity expansion, debottlenecking, mining enhancements, and R&D initiatives. The CAPEX allocation includes 40% for Malaysian Operations, 30% for India Facilities, 15% for the Sievert JV in construction chemicals, and 15% for R&D and ESG. The company expects these investments to improve operational productivity, strengthen import substitution capabilities, and support growth across domestic and export markets.
Dividend and Corporate Actions
The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹1.25 per equity share of face value ₹5 each, representing 25%, for FY26. The total dividend outflow aggregates to ₹441.08 lakh. To determine entitlement, the Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from July 18, 2026, to July 31, 2026. The Record Date has been fixed as July 17, 2026.
