Management Commentary
Commenting on the results, Mr. Adhish Patil, CFO & COO, Aarti Drugs Limited, said:
"FY26 marked an important transition year for Aarti Drugs Limited, as the Company progressed through a major investment and commissioning cycle while navigating a challenging industry environment. Despite persistent macroeconomic headwinds, pricing pressure in select API segments, and elevated raw material volatility, our core business delivered a strong sequential recovery during Q4 FY26 supported by operational scale-up of the Sayakha facility, improving export traction and a better product mix."
Mr. Patil noted that the Sayakha facility achieved a milestone run-rate of approximately 1,000 tonnes per month in March 2026, and while temporary ammonia shortages impacted production, the project has entered a more stable operating phase. He also highlighted that pricing trends began stabilizing from September 2025 onwards, with the recovery trajectory strengthening further during Q4 FY26, even as sharp increases in key raw material prices and logistics costs — exacerbated by supply chain disruptions from geopolitical tensions in West Asia — created additional cost pressures. The company was able to partially offset cost inflation through calibrated price increases and improved product mix.
