FY26 revenue was 31% lower than FY25 and Q4 FY26 revenue fell 43% year-on-year, with the company cutting sales of low-margin products as raw material prices spiked from the Gulf conflict, followed by two price increases in April-May 2026. Inventory was reduced from ₹958 crore at end-FY24 to ₹651 crore by March 2026, and operating expenses were cut 15% year-on-year to ₹280 crore in FY26.
