Mafatlal Industries Soars: Q1 FY26 Financial Success

Mafatlal Industries Limited, listed on BSE as 500264, has posted impressive financial results for the first quarter of FY26, ending on June 30, 2025. The company, a stalwart in India's legacy brand space, witnessed a significant 174.5% rise in operational revenue, climbing from INR 451.8 crore to INR 1240.2 crore year-on-year. This surge can be attributed largely to the execution of substantial institutional orders, particularly in consumer durables and textile sectors.

In terms of profitability, Mafatlal Industries achieved an operating EBITDA of INR 47 crore, marking a 66.4% increase from the previous year's corresponding quarter. The growth in profit margins was buoyed by a favorable product mix and an increased contribution from the institutional and uniform business lines. Notably, the textile segment alone saw a 41.4% revenue increase compared to Q1FY25, with EBIT margins advancing to 9.8% from 7%, prompted by strategic initiatives in value-added uniform solutions and cost-cutting measures.

The consumer durables sector also enjoyed notable revenue growth, largely due to the completion of key institutional projects. As of mid-2025, Mafatlal's gross debt reached INR 66.1 crore, with long-term debt slightly higher than the previous year. CEO M. B. Raghunath expressed optimism, citing robust growth potential through international expansion via a new subsidiary focused on apparel exports. He reiterated confidence in the company's medium to long-term growth strategies, despite potential quarterly variances.
