Key Trigger: Net Profit Rises 58% YoY to ₹132.96 Crore

For the second quarter of the financial year 2026, Kajaria Ceramics’ total revenue grew by only 1% year-on-year to ₹1,186.56 crore. Despite this, EBITDA increased by 34% to ₹212.90 crore and net profit jumped by 58% to ₹132.96 crore. The Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the quarter also rose by 58% to ₹8.35. This trend continued for the first half of the year, where total revenue remained flat at ₹2,290.89 crore, but net profit still increased by 39% to ₹241.94 crore, resulting in an EPS of ₹15.19 for the six-month period.

According to Chairman Ashok Kajaria, the company maintained steady revenue growth and improved its margins to 17.94% despite a soft market and the discontinuation of its plywood business. The company’s EBITDA improved to ₹212.90 crore, driven by cost-cutting measures and a better product mix. It also helped the cash profit for the quarter to rise to ₹174.87 crore. This performance comes as the company enters a new phase of transformation called “Kajaria 2.0,” led by Vice Chairman Chetan Kajaria and Managing Director Rishi Kajaria.

Volumes Stable at 28.87 Million Square Meters

In the second quarter, Kajaria’s tile sales volumes remained stable at 28.87 million square metres. Revenue from sanitaryware and faucets increased to ₹102.82 crore and the adhesives segment grew to ₹32.17 crore. Following its discontinuation, the plywood division had no revenue.

Operationally, several subsidiaries, including Kajaria Vitrified and Kajaria Surfaces, operated at full capacity. The faucet plant at Gailpur operated at 86% utilisation, while the Nepal-based joint venture also achieved 86% capacity utilisation. The sanitaryware facilities at Morbi and the Kajaria Infinity plant ran at around 60-63% utilisation during the quarter.

Sustained Growth and Improved Profitability

Commenting on the results, Chairman Ashok Kajaria said,“Despite macro headwinds, we sustained growth and improved profitability through disciplined execution and focused operational excellence. Kajaria 2.0 marks a new phase of transformation and innovation under the leadership of Chetan and Rishi.”
