Consolidated net profit after tax was ₹450.77 crore, reflecting strong performance across both tire and carbon black businesses. The consolidated debt service coverage ratio improved significantly to 4.72 from 2.21 in Q1FY26, indicating enhanced liquidity and operational efficiency.
Strategic Roadmap and Capacity Expansion
The company reaffirmed its target to reach ₹23,000 crore in revenue by FY30, supported by an overall capital expenditure plan of ₹6,800 crore through FY29. Management clarified that the remaining capex balance stands at ₹3,000 crore, with approximately ₹1,000 crore already spent in FY27. An additional spend of ₹1,500 crore to ₹2,000 crore is expected this fiscal year, bringing total FY27 capex to roughly ₹3,000 crore.
Balkrishna Industries aims to increase its OHT manufacturing capacity to 425,000 MTPA through ongoing investments and debottlenecking initiatives. This expansion is critical to capturing an 8% global market share in the OHT segment, with a long-term vision of reaching 10%. The integrated Carbon Black business, with a capacity of 360,000 MTPA and 64 MW co-gen power at Bhuj, ensures raw material security and energy circularity.
What the Numbers Show
The divergence between volume growth (16%) and revenue growth (25.2%) suggests favorable ASP dynamics or improved product mix in Q1FY27. While EBITDA margin contracted slightly to 20.6% from 23.8% in Q1FY26, absolute EBITDA grew by 7%, indicating that volume gains offset margin pressure. The significant rise in PAT (50%) compared to EBITDA growth highlights the impact of other income and controlled finance costs, reinforcing the efficiency of the integrated business model.
