Laminates 2,144.21 2,017.74 38% 62%

Jumbo Laminate Capacity Commissioned

A key development in FY 2025-26 was the commissioning of the integrated Jumbo Size Laminate manufacturing facility at Itla, Taluka Mansa, Gujarat. Phase 1, with a capacity of 1.2 Mn sheets per annum, commenced commercial production in April 2025. Phase 2, adding 1.6 Mn sheets per annum, commenced production in December 2025. Combined installed capacity now stands at 2.8 Mn sheets per annum.

Phase Capacity Commercial Production Start
Phase 1 1.2 Mn sheets p.a. April 2025
Phase 2 1.6 Mn sheets p.a. December 2025
Total 2.8 Mn sheets p.a.

The facility targets export markets including the USA and EU, where demand for large-format laminates is growing. India leads globally in High Pressure Laminate (HPL) manufacturing, and the Jumbo Laminate segment represents an export-led growth opportunity.

Export Presence and Global Footprint

Rushil Decor exports to 57+ countries, generating ₹1,798 Mn in export income in FY 2025-26, representing approximately 21% of total revenue. The company holds a Three-Star Export House designation.

Dividend and Capital Structure

Key Risks and Challenges

Chairman Mr. Krupesh G. Thakkar noted in the annual report that FY 2025-26 was marked by a fire incident at the Andhra Pradesh MDF manufacturing plant, ongoing geopolitical conflict affecting Gulf-region supply chains, rising raw material costs, and intensifying competition. The company received a fine of ₹40,000 (plus 18% GST) from the National Stock Exchange for a 2-day delay in allotment of equity shares upon conversion of warrants.

The net debt-to-equity ratio improved marginally to 0.40x in FY 2025-26 from 0.41x in FY 2024-25, reflecting continued financial discipline. Foreign exchange earned during FY 2025-26 was ₹1,867.13 Mn, while foreign exchange outgo was ₹1,065.56 Mn.
