JK Paper Limited reported its highest consolidated quarterly turnover of Rs. 1,870.34 Cr for Q2 FY26 (quarter ended September 2025), with EBITDA of Rs. 243.66 Cr and Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs. 74.75 Cr. For the half year (H1 FY26), consolidated turnover, EBITDA and PAT stood at Rs. 3,655.22 Cr, Rs. 515.86 Cr and Rs. 155.98 Cr respectively. Despite higher sales volumes, profitability was squeezed by higher wood costs, lower realizations from cheap imports, and adverse GST changes — paper GST has risen from 12% to 18%, while converted products dropped to 5%, creating an inverted duty structure that disrupts the value chain. CRISIL Ratings reaffirmed 'CRISIL AA/Stable' on bank facilities/NCDs and 'CRISIL A1+' on commercial papers. The company also continued its social farm forestry initiative, planting 5.39 Cr saplings across 37,260 acres during the quarter.
Mixed picture for shareholders: record revenue is a positive, but margin pressure from input costs and the unfavorable GST structure may weigh on near-term stock sentiment. The strong AA credit rating reaffirmation provides comfort on the company's financial stability and debt quality.
