PCBL Chemical delivered a strong Q1FY27, with consolidated Revenue up 17% YoY to Rs. 2,474 Cr, EBITDA rising 23% YoY to Rs. 400 Cr, and PAT soaring 65% YoY to Rs. 155 Cr. Diluted EPS stood at Rs. 3.9. The company declared an interim dividend of Rs. 4.5 per equity share.
Domestic Carbon Black sales volumes grew 15% YoY, and Specialty Blacks volumes increased 23% YoY, driven by new capacity like the 20,000 MTPA Specialty Black line in Mundra and a 1,000 MTPA super-conductive line becoming operational. The Nanovace pilot plant for advanced battery materials is now operational for R&D, validating proprietary nanomaterial process technology.
The company aims for volume-led growth and margin improvement by expanding its high-margin specialty chemical portfolio and global footprint. Outlook suggests a 3% CAGR for global Carbon Black demand, with India benefiting from trade deals and electric vehicle adoption. Cost optimization and backward integration are key strategies.
