EBITDA for the first half stood at Rs 615 million, representing a 102 per cent year-on-year increase, with margins improving to 7.7 per cent from 4.1 per cent in H1FY25.

Shareholders of Affil Vitrified Pvt Ltd will receive 73 fully paid AGL shares for every 40 shares held.

Shareholders of Ivanta Ceramics Industries Pvt Ltd will receive 479 AGL shares for every 12 shares held.

Shareholders of Crystal Ceramic Industries Ltd will receive 695 AGL shares for every 426 shares held.

Chairman and Managing Director Kamlesh Patel said the Q2FY26 performance reflects the company’s operational discipline and long-term growth focus. He added that AGL aims to become a global brand and is targeting revenue of Rs 60 billion over the next four to six years.

Brand Expansion and Marketing AGL has strengthened its brand presence through new campaigns, including appointing Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor as the face of its “Premium ka Pappa” campaign. The company’s Bonzer7 brand has launched the “Kya Baat Hain” campaign featuring Vaani Kapoor to appeal to younger consumers and expand its reach.

These initiatives, AGL said, highlight its commitment to innovation and expanding its presence in premium home décor and bathware segments.
