Dai-ichi Karkaria Q1 FY27: Revenue jumps 47% as operating leverage returns

Revenue from operations was Rs 57.84 crore (standalone unaudited) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Operating EBITDA was Rs 5.99 crore with a 10% margin, and profit after tax was Rs 6.09 crore with an 11% net margin (standalone unaudited).

Management stated Oilfield Chemicals remained the largest segment and contributed over half of quarterly revenue, though exact segment numbers were not provided.

Management stated an additional ethylene oxide reactor was commissioned at the Dahej facility during the quarter, and the milestones also mention an ethoxylation capacity expansion in 2026.

Management cited geopolitical developments in the Middle East affecting procurement and project timelines for certain downstream categories, and noted softer demand in paints/coatings and textiles due to macro and input cost pressures.

Management stated that commercialising the expanded ethoxylation capacity and the added oilfield production capacity would be key priorities through the remainder of FY 2026-27.
