Sahyadri Industries Limited on 12 May 2026 declared audited results for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026, reporting total income for FY26 at Rs 6.849 billion (Rs 6.849 bn) and for the fourth quarter at Rs 1.965 billion (Rs 1.965 bn). EBITDA for FY26 stood at Rs 672 million (Rs 672 mn) while profit after tax for the year was Rs 290 million (Rs 290 mn). The company reported that these figures reflected year-on-year improvements across top line and margins.

The company recorded year-on-year growth in total income of 12.5 per cent and an EBITDA increase of 15.8 per cent, with the EBITDA margin rising to nine point eight per cent from nine point five per cent in the prior year. Profit after tax grew by 49.0 per cent compared with FY25, the company said, attributing the increase to operating leverage and improved capacity utilisation. Quarterly performance similarly showed sequential gains in income and operating profitability.

Management indicated that capacity utilisation improved to 74 per cent in FY26 from 68 per cent in FY25, supporting better absorption of fixed costs and margin expansion. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs one point five per share on a face value of Rs 10 for FY26. The managing director described the results as resilient and noted that margins were aided by operational efficiencies.

The company cautioned that evolving geopolitical developments, logistics costs and foreign exchange volatility may affect export demand and imported raw material costs. It reiterated that forward-looking statements are subject to risks and actual outcomes may differ materially. Sahyadri Industries supplies building systems and roofing solutions across domestic and select international markets and said it would continue to focus on product innovation and market expansion.
