Revenue crosses ₹51,000 crore as chemicals, building materials and financial businesses contribute to quarterly growth

Grasim Industries, part of the Aditya Birla Group, reported a 28 per cent increase in net profit for the March quarter of FY26. The company posted higher revenue and EBITDA growth during the quarter, supported by improved business performance across several segments.

Grasim Industries reported a March quarter net profit of ₹3,802 crore for Q4 FY26, compared to ₹2,973 crore in the corresponding period last year. Revenue for the quarter stood at ₹51,101 crore, up from ₹44,267 crore a year earlier.

EBITDA increased 22 per cent to ₹8,011 crore. The company also announced a dividend of ₹10 a share.

In the cellulosic staple fibre business, revenue rose 14 per cent to ₹4,614 crore. EBITDA in the segment doubled to ₹588 crore, supported by higher volumes and lower pulp prices.

The company said domestic CSF prices remained elevated despite the rescinding of the Quality Control Order, due to rupee depreciation and partial pass-through of higher sulphur prices.

Revenue from the chemicals business increased 7 per cent year-on-year to ₹2,458 crore. EBITDA in the segment grew 3 per cent to ₹304 crore due to improved profitability in caustic and chlorine derivatives.

The building materials business recorded its highest-ever quarterly revenue at ₹30,042 crore, reflecting 19 per cent year-on-year growth. The increase was supported by performance across cement, paints and B2B e-commerce businesses.

EBITDA in the building materials segment rose 22 per cent to ₹5,386 crore, led by higher profitability in the cement business under UltraTech.

The company stated that this growth was partially offset by initial expenses related to Birla Opus in the decorative paints segment.

Birla Opus increased market share by 90 basis points quarter-on-quarter, strengthening its position in the organised decorative paints market, according to the company.

Strategic pricing actions were implemented during the March quarter and continued into the June quarter to reduce the gap with industry players and offset increased input costs arising from a volatile environment.

The company stated that despite price increases, it continues to focus on sustaining market share gains and delivering guided revenues.

Birla Pivot revenue more than doubled on a year-on-year basis. Aditya Birla Capital reported 10 per cent revenue growth at ₹13,422 crore, supported by lending and insurance businesses.

For FY26, the company reported net profit of ₹10,300 crore, compared to ₹7,756 crore in the previous year. Revenue for the year increased 18 per cent to ₹1,75,431 crore from ₹1,48,478 crore.
