The report received reasonable assurance from TÜV India Private Limited for its core indicators. Aarti Industries reported a turnover of ₹9,018 crore and a net worth of ₹5,955 crore for the period.

Operational Metrics

The company operates 16 plants and five offices globally. It serves customers in 30 states in India and 60 countries internationally. Exports contributed 57% of total turnover during the fiscal year.

Aarti Industries consumed 92,32,436 GJ of total energy in FY26, up from 80,75,770 GJ in the prior year. Renewable energy consumption fell to 1,93,406 GJ from 2,01,466 GJ. Total greenhouse gas emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources reached 902,826 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

Water consumption rose to 2,896,715 kilolitres from 2,648,487 kilolitres. The company generated 536,355 metric tonnes of waste, recycling 490,740 metric tonnes of plastic and other materials.

What the Numbers Show

Related-party transactions show a significant shift in capital allocation. While sales to related parties increased to 24.50% of total sales from 15.81%, loans and advances to related parties surged to 59.57% of total loans and advances, up sharply from 6.64% in FY25. This concentration suggests a heavy reliance on internal group financing rather than external debt or trade credit for liquidity management.
