Orient Ceratech Posts Robust FY2026 Results: Profit Soars 120%

Orient Ceratech Limited announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, revealing significant year-over-year growth.

Key Financial Highlights:

• Consolidated Revenue: Increased by 23.39% to ₹403.60 crore in FY2026, up from ₹327.10 crore in FY2025.
• Net Profit: Jumped by an impressive 120.14% to ₹21.86 crore in FY2026, compared to ₹9.93 crore in FY2025.

This strong performance reflects enhanced operational efficiency and increased market demand for Orient Ceratech's products.

Shareholder Value and Strategic Divestment

In a move to reward investors, the company declared a dividend of 35% (₹0.35 per share). This announcement was made alongside the strategic decision to sell its captive thermal power station.

The power station, located at the Porbandar Plant, was used for internal production. Its sale is part of a plan to streamline operations and simplify the business structure.

Operational Adjustments and Personnel Changes

The sale of the thermal power station to SS Fabrication for ₹3.75 crore plus taxes has been approved. This divestment is intended to optimize the company's operational footprint.

In addition, the company has appointed Mr. Krupal Upadhyay as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, effective June 1, 2026, strengthening its secretarial department.

Factors Impacting Results

While the overall financial results are positive, Orient Ceratech recorded an exceptional item impacting consolidated results by ₹2.14 crore. This was due to the implementation of new Labour Codes. Investors should monitor the ongoing effects of these labor code changes.

Looking Ahead

Shareholders will be watching for continued revenue and profit growth in the upcoming fiscal year. The successful integration of the power division divestment and its operational benefits will also be key areas of focus. The proposed dividend requires final approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
