Kajaria Ceramics reported a consolidated net profit of ₹171.03 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 56% from ₹110.31 crore in Q1FY26. Revenue from operations rose 20% year-on-year to ₹1,328.08 crore, reflecting strong demand in its core tiles business. The results were reviewed by statutory auditors Walker Chandiok & Co LLP and approved by the Board on July 31, 2026.

The Board also approved a brown-field expansion at its Gailpur manufacturing facility in Rajasthan, adding 11 Million Square Metres (MSM) of annual production capacity for glazed vitrified tiles. The project, estimated at ₹165 crore and funded through internal accruals, is expected to be completed by April 2027. Additionally, the company sanctioned an investment of up to ₹12.15 crore in Sunsire Solarpark Fourty Three Private Limited to secure captive solar and wind power for its Gailpur and Malootana plants.

Financial Performance

Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹1,328.08 crore in Q1FY27, compared to ₹1,102.74 crore in Q1FY26. Other income increased to ₹17.14 crore from ₹13.24 crore previously. Total expenses rose to ₹1,114.94 crore from ₹964.71 crore, primarily due to higher power and fuel costs (₹270.45 crore vs ₹223.95 crore) and employee benefits (₹139.52 crore vs ₹136.01 crore).

Standalone net profit grew 56% to ₹155.77 crore from ₹99.67 crore. Standalone revenue was ₹1,190.08 crore, up from ₹1,007.32 crore. Basic earnings per share (EPS) for the consolidated entity rose to ₹10.64 from ₹6.84.

Segment Analysis

The tiles segment contributed ₹1,159.40 crore to revenue, up from ₹986.35 crore in Q1FY26. Segment results for tiles improved to ₹197.42 crore from ₹134.65 crore. The 'Others' segment, comprising adhesive, bathware, and sanitaryware, generated ₹168.68 crore in revenue with segment results of ₹20.72 crore, compared to ₹116.39 crore and ₹8.57 crore respectively in the prior year.

What the Numbers Show

The significant jump in net profit outpaced revenue growth, indicating operational leverage and margin expansion. While power and fuel costs increased by approximately 21%, they remained contained relative to the 20% revenue surge. The 'Others' segment showed particularly strong profitability growth, with segment results more than doubling, suggesting successful diversification beyond core tiles. The upcoming capacity expansion aims to capitalize on this sustained demand momentum.

Kajaria Ceramics Limited has reopened its trading window for dealing in securities, effective forty-eight hours after the public announcement of its Board Meeting outcomes on July 31, 2026. The reopening follows the disclosure of the company's Unaudited Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, allowing designated employees and directors to resume transactions in the company's shares.

The decision to open the trading window is a procedural step mandated by regulatory frameworks governing insider trading. It marks the end of a restricted period that began with the closure notice issued on June 26, 2026. During this closed window, insiders were prohibited from buying or selling securities to prevent the misuse of price-sensitive information related to the quarterly financial performance.

Regulatory Compliance and Timeline

The opening of the window is executed pursuant to the Company's Code of Conduct for Prevention of Insider Trading, read in conjunction with the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015. These regulations require listed entities to maintain closed trading windows during specific periods when material non-public information is likely to be available to insiders.

The timeline for the current cycle is as follows:

The Board Meeting held on July 31, 2026, served as the primary trigger for this timeline. The agenda included the review and declaration of the financial results for Q4FY26. Once these results were communicated to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Limited (BSE), the mandatory waiting period commenced.

Implications for Insiders

The reopening allows the company's directors, key managerial personnel, and other connected persons to deal in the securities of Kajaria Ceramics Limited. However, they must continue to adhere to the broader provisions of the insider trading regulations, including reporting requirements for any transactions undertaken during the open window.

This notification was issued by Vinit Kumar, General Counsel & Company Secretary at Kajaria Ceramics Limited, and addressed to both major Indian stock exchanges. The move ensures transparency and regulatory compliance, maintaining market integrity by preventing information asymmetry between insiders and the general investing public.
