In another segment update shared with the market, the Chemicals segment revenue was also stated as ₹1,610 crore with the same EBITDA figure of ₹458 crore. Across the disclosures, the message remained consistent: higher contribution from R32 and Fluoropolymers supported the quarterly performance.

On a consolidated basis, GFL reported revenue from operations of ₹1,588 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This represented a 24% year-on-year increase compared with ₹1,281 crore in the same quarter last year. Consolidated EBITDA stood at ₹428 crore, also up 24% year-on-year. Consolidated profit after tax was ₹219 crore, reflecting a 20% year-on-year increase from ₹182 crore.

Conclusion

GFL’s Q1 FY27 investor presentation and unaudited results show year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue, EBITDA and profit, led by chemicals and supported by R32 and Fluoropolymers. The next immediate reference point for stakeholders was the Board-approved filing of results and the analyst call held on August 12, 2026, alongside ongoing steps in the composite scheme of arrangement.
