MUMBAI, Aug. 4 -- Castrol India Ltd on Tuesday reported strong financial results for the April-June quarter (Q2) and first half (H1) of 2026 despite supply disruptions and severe commodity inflation, driven by supply chain agility, brand strength and disciplined execution across its businesses.
For the April-June quarter (Q2), revenue from operations rose 25 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1,871 crore, while EBITDA increased 41 per cent to Rs 494 crore. Profit after tax (PAT) grew 43 per cent to Rs 348 crore.
For the first half (H1) of 2026, revenue from operations stood at Rs 3,417 crore, up 17 per cent year-on-year. EBITDA rose 25 per cent to Rs 823 crore, while PAT increased 24 per cent to Rs 590 crore.
Managing Director Saugata Basuray said the company delivered strong volume growth across its industrial, institutional and consumer businesses, with premium personal mobility brands outperforming the rest of the portfolio. He said Castrol leveraged its global supply chain and diversified vendor base to ensure uninterrupted supplies despite raw material challenges. Looking ahead, the company remains cautious due to inflationary pressures and uneven monsoon conditions that could affect demand in the second half of 2026, while continuing to invest in brands, distribution & customer relationships.
The board declared an interim dividend of Rs 6.25 per share, payable on or before September 2, 2026.
