Prakash Pipes reported a net profit of ₹16.4 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a 59% year-on-year increase from ₹10.3 crore in the corresponding period of FY26. Revenue from operations grew 19% to ₹241.5 crore, up from ₹203.4 crore in Q1FY26. The earnings expansion was driven by robust performance in the Flexible Packaging division and stabilizing input costs in the PVC segment.
Financial Performance
The company’s EBITDA rose 47% to ₹27 crore from ₹18 crore in the prior-year quarter. Profit before tax increased to ₹22.1 crore from ₹13.9 crore. Basic earnings per share stood at ₹6.87, compared to ₹4.31 in Q1FY26.
| Metric | Q1FY27 (₹ in crore) | Q1FY26 (₹ in crore) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations | 241.5 | 203.4 | +19% |
| EBITDA | 27.0 | 18.0 | +47% |
| Net Profit | 16.4 | 10.3 | +59% |
Segment Dynamics
The Flexible Packaging division emerged as the primary growth engine, with sales volume jumping 33% to 4,980 MT from 3,751 MT in Q1FY26. Export volumes within this segment surged 195% to 1,468 MT, reflecting successful penetration into international markets. This division contributed ₹128.3 crore to total revenue, up from ₹82.3 crore in the previous year.
In contrast, the PVC Pipes & Fittings division saw sales volume decline to 11,421 MT from 14,115 MT in Q1FY26. Management attributed the dip to steep hikes in PVC resin prices caused by the West Asia war crisis, which suppressed demand in the first half of the quarter. However, resin prices stabilized from June onwards, leading to a revival in demand toward the end of the period. The division contributed ₹113.2 crore to revenue.
Capacity Expansion & Governance
To meet rising export demand, the Board approved a ₹100 crore capital expenditure to double the production capacity of the Flexible Packaging division at Kashipur. The expansion is scheduled for completion by March 2027 and will be financed through debt and/or internal accruals. Existing capacity utilization stands at 76.4%.
Additionally, the Board appointed three senior management personnel effective August 14, 2026:
- Narinder Kumar Ahuja as President (PVC Pipes & Fittings)
- Anil Agarwal as President (Flexible Packaging)
- Kiran Pal Singh as Sr. Vice President (PVC Pipes & Fittings)
What the Numbers Show
The divergence between volume trends in the two segments highlights shifting operational dynamics. While the PVC segment faced headwinds from geopolitical-driven input cost volatility, the Flexible Packaging unit leveraged export momentum to drive overall top-line growth. The significant rise in other income—from ₹1.9 crore in Q1FY26 to ₹8.5 crore in Q1FY27—also contributed to the bottom-line acceleration, accounting for roughly 5% of total income this quarter compared to less than 1% in the prior year.
