Carbon Black: Revenue increased by 1.3% YoY to ₹1,667.44 crore in Q4 FY25 from ₹1,646.04 crore in Q4 FY24.
Chemical Segment: Revenue surged by 56.87% YoY to ₹375.02 crore in Q4 FY25.

Analysts had anticipated a steady performance from PCBL in Q4 FY25-26, with expectations of revenue growth driven by increased demand in the carbon black and speciality chemicals segments. The reported 8.2% YoY increase in revenue aligns with these expectations. However, the 9.7% decline in net profit indicates margin pressures, possibly due to rising raw material costs and other operational expenses. The company's EBITDA margin contraction to 15.2% from 16.5% in the previous year reflects these challenges.
PCBL's management highlighted the company's strategic focus on expanding its specialty chemicals portfolio and enhancing operational efficiencies. The acquisition of Aroform, a specialty chemicals player, is expected to bolster PCBL's export capabilities and contribute positively to its financial performance in FY26 . Management remains optimistic about the company's growth trajectory, emphasizing investments in technology and capacity expansion to meet evolving market demands.
