MUMBAI, India, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aarti Industries Limited (AIL), a leading global speciality chemicals company, today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025. The company's unaudited results were approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held earlier today.
Q1 FY26 unfolded amid an exceptionally volatile macroeconomic environment, marked by steep corrections in key raw materials like benzene and aniline, geopolitical uncertainties, and ongoing trade disruptions. These external factors led to short-term pricing pressure and supply chain challenges. Despite these headwinds, AIL maintained operational continuity, ensured stable volume and continued advancing its long-term growth agenda. On a consolidated basis, income from operations stood at ₹ 1,867 Cr, compared to ₹ 2,214 Cr in Q4 FY25. EBITDA stood at ₹ 215 Cr, while Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at ₹ 43 Cr. While financial performance was impacted in the short term, the underlying health of the business remains strong, backed by our diversified portfolio, customer engagement, expanded capacities and disciplined execution. Financial Highlights (Q1 FY26)
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Suyog Kotecha, CEO and Executive Director, said: "This was a uniquely challenging quarter shaped by global and regional volatility. Yet, what remained consistent was our commitment to long-term value creation. Our volumes stayed resilient, key capacity expansions are ramping up, and our green and circular initiatives continue progressing as planned. We are already seeing signs of normalisation in customer activity, raw material costs, and logistics, which reinforces our confidence in a stronger performance ahead. With the recent development on the US tariff front, we are closely monitoring the situation to ascertain the impact and plan appropriate actions." Business Highlights
