AI summary

Q2 FY27 revenue rose 11% to Rs 821 crore and profit after tax rose 19% to Rs 127 crore. EBITDA increased 16% to Rs 202 crore, but margin fell to 24.7% from 29.1% in Q1 as energy and raw material costs rose. Management expects soft global soda ash pricing due to oversupply to persist for a few quarters. Vacuum Salt and Bromine began commercial production.

Likely market impact

Growth and new products support the long-term case, but continuing pricing and cost pressure may limit near-term margin gains.
