EBITDA declined by 26% YoY to Rs 132 crore while EBITDA margin contracted by 600 basis points to 23% in the second quarter.
Profit before tax in Q2 FY26 stood at Rs 70 crore, down by 43% from Rs 122 crore in Q2 FY25.
Maulik Patel, chairman and managing director, Epigral, said: This quarter ended with lower revenue on account of low sales volume and drop in realization of few products.
Volume drop was majorly on account of extended monsoon which is off season for few products. Overall plant utilization stood at 75% for H1FY26 and we expect utilization to improve in H2FY26, as extended monsoon is over and maintenance work at plant is also completed, resulting in better H2 compared to H1.
Our project to expand capacity of CPVC, Epichlorohydrin and Wind Solar Hybrid power plants are moving as per schedule and expected to be commissioned within committed timelines.
These projects will drive growth from FY2027 onwards. We have further moved a step closer for the new projects. We will be announcing the same once it is freezed and approved by the board.'

ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
