GHCL Textiles lifted total revenue to Rs 446 crore in the second quarter of fiscal 2026-27, against Rs 339 crore a year earlier, an increase of 31%.
That top-line momentum fed through to EBITDA which jumped to Rs 92 crore, up 141% from Rs 38 crore in the prior-year quarter.
The quarter’s EBITDA margin was roughly 20.6%, compared with about 11.2% in the same period last year, pointing to tighter operational efficiency and stronger pricing power.
Adjusted standalone net profit came in at Rs 56 crore, an increase of 249% on the Rs 16 crore reported a year before.
The figure strips out an exceptional charge of Rs 27 crore (Rs 20 crore after tax) arising from a fire at the company’s Tuticorin godown.
Across the six months to September 30, 2026 , total revenue climbed 40% to Rs 856 crore from Rs 609 crore in the first half of previous fiscal.
EBITDA expanded by 129% to Rs 162 crore from Rs 70 crore, while adjusted net profit leapt 223% to Rs 95 crore, up from Rs 30 crore in the equivalent half last year.
A defining feature of the quarter was the tilt of the sales mix towards higher-value lines. Fabric’s contribution to revenue rose to 16.4% in the quarter under review from 11.4% in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2025-26
Higher volumes of both knitted and greige fabric lay behind the gain, vindicating the company’s vertical integration strategy.
Looking ahead, GHCL Textiles has lined up a series of investments. It is adding 58,000 spindles and a 5 MW rooftop solar plant by fiscal 2027-28, at a project cost of Rs 410 crore.
The company is setting up new fabric processing facilities at Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu, costing Rs 300 crore, with commissioning targeted for fiscal 2028-29.
Renewable capacity will be raised from 65 MW to 81 MW, enough to cover up to 75% of energy needs and cut reliance on grid power.
Knitting machine count will be scaled up to 40 units by the third quarter of current fiscal, supporting value-added fabric output.
