Epigral Limited Q1 FY27
What went well
- Revenue grew 15% YoY to INR709 crores despite a challenging operating environment.
- Adjusted PAT increased 25% YoY to INR99 crores.
- Strategic capex of INR600 crores approved for high-growth Epoxy Resin & Formulations and a Multipurpose Plant, with over 50% raw material value sourced internally.
What to watch
- EBITDA margin compressed to 25% in Q1 FY27 from 27% in Q1 FY26 due to challenging operating environment and raw material volatility.
- ROCE declined to 16% from 24% YoY, attributed to lower earnings over the trailing 12 months and sizable capital work in progress.
What Epigral Limited does
Epigral operates a single, fully backward- and forward-integrated manufacturing complex at Dahej, Gujarat, producing chlor-alkali products (caustic soda, caustic potash) and downstream derivative and specialty chemicals (CPVC resin, epichlorohydrin, chloromethanes, hydrogen peroxide, and a chlorotoluene value chain). It earns by selling these chemicals to a diversified customer base spanning industries such as textiles, alumina, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, refrigerants, pipes and fittings, and paper and pulp, both domestically and through exports. Captive chlorine, hydrogen and caustic soda generated in the chlor-alkali process feed its own derivative plants, and the company also runs a captive thermal and wind-solar power plant to supply part of its own energy needs. It has been progressively shifting its product mix from base chlor-alkali towards higher-value derivatives and specialty chemicals.
