Xpro India reported FY26 revenue of INR505.5 crore (down 5.6% from INR535.28 crore), with production volume declining 5% to 31,335 MT due to lower Coex volumes. PBT fell to INR41 crore from INR58 crore, impacted by competitive pricing, input cost volatility, and INR11 crore forex loss. The new dielectric film line at Barjora was commissioned on March 27, 2026, entering commercial production and targeting at least 50% utilization in FY27. Biax division contributed approximately 71% of revenue (vs 75% in FY25). The UAE subsidiary project is on track for trial production by August-September 2026 with commercial operations expected by Q3. Leadership succession announced: Girish Behal appointed as Managing Director Designate and CEO, becoming MD from January 1, 2027. Management is shifting focus toward higher-value ultra-thin films (2-5 micron range) for EV, solar, and railway applications, with current film prices in excess of INR550/kg. Raw material inventory held above 3 months with procurement ongoing despite shipping disruptions.
The company faces near-term margin pressure from Coex volume decline and geopolitical-related input cost volatility, but the new Barjora line provides meaningful capacity expansion for the high-growth dielectric film segment. Leadership transition and focus on premium products signal strategic intent for margin improvement, though FY27 guidance was not provided.
