Arvind Limited reported record quarterly financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with consolidated revenue rising 25% to ₹2,501 crore and EBITDA growing 39% to ₹258 crore. Profit after tax (PAT) increased 47% to ₹80 crore, reflecting robust demand across core textile businesses and the impact of its largest-ever acquisition, Dalco-GFT.
The company’s EBITDA margin expanded by approximately 100 basis points to 10.3%. While the textile division faced input cost pressures, the Advanced Materials Business (AMB) delivered significant growth, contributing ₹650 crore in revenue and ₹97 crore in EBITDA with a margin of 15%.
Financial Performance Overview
| Metric: | Q1FY26 | Q1FY27 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue: | ₹2,006 crore | ₹2,501 crore | +25% |
| EBITDA: | ₹186 crore | ₹258 crore | +39% |

Excluding the impact of the Dalco-GFT acquisition, organic revenue grew 17% to ₹2,344 crore, while EBITDA rose 26% to ₹234 crore. The acquisition, which represents Arvind’s majority stake (~61%) in the US-based technical textile firm, contributed ₹157 crore in revenue and ₹24 crore in EBITDA during the first 1.8 months of operations.
Business Segment Highlights
Volume growth remained a key driver across segments. Denim fabric volumes reached 17.5 million metres, the highest in sixteen quarters, up 34% year-on-year. Woven fabric volumes stood at 31.2 million metres, a 7% increase, while garmenting volumes crossed 11 million pieces for the first time, recording 13% growth.
The AMB segment saw broad-based expansion. The India business grew 40% to ₹493 crore in revenue. Globally, the Human Protection segment benefited from normalized defence procurement in India and easing tariff pressures in the US. The Composites business gained momentum from renewable energy and mobility applications. The Industrial segment achieved early double-digit growth due to higher capacity utilization, with expansion projects on track for execution in Q2.
Textile revenues grew 13% to ₹1,735 crore, driven by a 37% surge in denim revenue and 9% growth in woven fabrics. However, textile EBITDA margins contracted to 8.0% from 8.4% in Q1FY26 due to a sharp rise in raw material costs, which added approximately ₹19 crore in variable costs.
Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
Arvind Limited recently completed a ₹500 crore Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP), which was significantly over-subscribed by marquee institutional investors. The proceeds are primarily being utilized for debt reduction and balance sheet strengthening. The company spent approximately ₹98 crore on capital expenditure projects during the quarter and plans further investments of ₹450-500 crore in FY27.
Closing net debt stood at ₹2,158 crore as on June 30, 2026, an increase from ₹1,172 crore at the end of March 2026, largely due to debt taken to fund the Dalco-GFT acquisition. The company also recorded ₹10.7 crore in depreciation from intangible asset amortization and ₹10.6 crore in incremental finance costs from a $110 million loan related to the acquisition.
What the Numbers Show
The consolidation of Dalco-GFT introduced new cost dynamics alongside revenue growth. While the acquired entity delivered a healthy 15.1% EBITDA margin in its partial quarter (projected at 16.3% for a full quarter), it also added ₹10.7 crore in depreciation from intangible asset amortization and ₹10.6 crore in incremental finance costs from a $110 million loan. Furthermore, exceptional items of ~₹23 crore (net of tax) related to one-time transaction expenses were recorded. This indicates that while the acquisition boosts top-line scale immediately, the net profit impact is partially offset by upfront integration costs and higher interest outlays in the near term. Additionally, higher procurement of raw materials in anticipation of price escalation led to elevated working capital levels.
