The company said the quarter represented its highest ever quarterly sales volume and highlighted a 46 per cent sequential increase from the prior quarter. It completed the second tranche of the asset purchase for the bathware manufacturing unit at Bhuj and launched a new low-noise polypropylene pipe system, DECILO, to broaden its product range. The business continues to expand its distribution footprint and added channels to strengthen customer proximity.

Prince Pipes reported improved working capital efficiency with a sharp reduction in inventory and receivable days and noted an exceptional item of Rs 20.5 mn net of tax relating to an estimated increase in provision for employee benefits under the new labour code. The board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 1 per equity share for the year. Management indicated continued focus on operational efficiency and cost optimisation to support sustainable growth.

The company described FY26 as a challenging year owing to raw material price volatility, unseasonal rainfall and subdued demand across end-use segments, but stated that its resilient model and manufacturing footprint supported performance. Incorporated in 1987, Prince Pipes manufactures polymer piping solutions across four polymers and has nine state-of-the-art manufacturing units across India along with a distributor network of more than 1,500 members. The joint managing director said the group will invest in capacity, innovation and distribution to drive long-term growth.
