Q2FY26 Quarterly Result Announced for Paramount Communications Ltd.

Wires & Cables company Paramount Communications announced Q2FY26 results

  • Revenue: Rs 428.0 crore against Rs 355.9 crore during Q2FY25, change 20.3%.
  • EBITDA: Rs 25.8 crore against Rs 33.6 crore during Q2FY25, change -23.1%.
  • EBITDA Margin: 5.8% for Q2FY26.
  • PAT: Rs 13.3 crore against Rs 20.3 crore during Q2FY25, change -34.8%.
  • PAT Margin: 3.0% for Q2FY26.
  • EPS: Rs 0.43 for Q2FY26.

Management Commentary: Paramount Communications Limited reported revenue from operations of Rs 428 crore in Q2FY26, up 20.3% YoY over Rs 355.9 crore in Q2FY25.

EBITDA stood at Rs 25.8 crore with a margin of 5.8%, compared to 9.4% in Q2FY25. PAT was Rs 13.3 crore, translating to a PAT margin of 3.0% in Q2FY26.

During April ’25, the US Administration increased tariff on imports from India by 10% which was further increased to 25% on 2nd August ’25. Further on India, a penal oil tariff of 25% was also imposed.

As the company has substantial revenue from USA exports (more than 40% share in H1FY26) which is being exported on DDP basis, the company had to bear a substantial part of this increase in tariff on goods under transit, finished goods and goods under production. Furthermore, for new orders we are facing stiff competition from other countries at lower tariff structures. As a result, the company’s margins are under pressure in the short term. We are actively working to de-risk ourselves from this situation by covering the export deficit from our domestic market, while also reviewing the dynamic trade situation between both countries. The company expects impact on its revenue and profitability to be temporary.

The domestic market remained strong during the quarter which helped us sail through the period and we anticipate stronger demand in the coming months driven by the expanding renewables sector and continued capex in power generation and transmission. There is also improvement in demand for the railway and telecom products of the company.

Commodity Chemicals company Amines & Plasticizers announced Q2FY26 results

  • Revenue: Rs 133.14 crore against Rs 166.64 crore during Q2FY25, change -20% YoY.
  • EBITDA: Rs 10.87 crore against Rs 16.74 crore during Q2FY25, change -35% YoY.
  • PBT: Rs 8.21 crore against Rs 12.99 crore during Q2FY25,, change -37% YoY.
  • PAT: Rs 6.17 crore against Rs 9.78 crore during Q2FY25,, change -37% YoY.
  • EPS: Rs 1.12 for Q2FY26.

Hemant Ruia, Chairman & Managing Director, said: “In line with its earlier guidance, Amines and Plasticizers Limited reported a subdued performance during the second quarter of FY26. The results reflected the impact of a volatile macroeconomic environment and continuing geopolitical factors that influenced overall sector performance. Additionally, the Company faced curtailed supply of one of its key raw materials, ethylene oxide, due to a planned maintenance shutdown by the supplier. Supply conditions normalised from the second week of November, although another planned shutdown is expected in the fourth quarter, which may have some bearing on business performance.

To mitigate the impact of the supply constraints, the Company optimised its production mix by shifting towards an alternative product line that supported profitability despite lower volumes. From the beginning of the third quarter, domestic sales have started showing signs of recovery, and the Company remains hopeful of sustained improvement through the remainder of the financial year.

Looking ahead, FY26 is expected to remain a challenging year given the uncertain operating conditions. The Company continues to prioritise new product development, strengthening its product portfolio, and enhancing operational readiness to capitalise on growth opportunities once the business environment becomes more stable.”

Food & Beverages company Sanstar announced Q2FY26 results

  • Revenue from Operations: Rs 1,964 million compared to Rs 2,056 million during Q2FY25, change -4.5%.
  • EBITDA: Rs 14 million compared to Rs 115 million during Q2FY25, change -88.2%.
  • EBITDA Margin: 0.7% for Q2FY26.
  • PBT: Rs 9 million compared to Rs 101 million during Q2FY25, change -90.9%.
  • PAT: Rs 6 million compared to Rs 75 million during Q2FY25, change -91.6%.
  • PAT Margin: 0.3% for Q2FY26.
  • EPS: Rs 0.03 for Q2FY26.

Gouthamchand Chowdhary, Chairman and Managing Director said: the second quarter of FY26, Sanstar navigated a dynamic operating environment marked by external pressures and transitionary phase in our capacity expansion journey.

The Company reported a steady improvement in operating performance as operations normalized following the completion of the annual maintenance shutdown in Q1. Revenue from Operations in Q2 was Rs 1,964 million, marking a 15.8% sequential increase over Q1, supported by improved plant utilization and strong demand traction across key customer segments.

During the quarter, the native starch business continued to face pricing headwinds. China’s comn starch exports have recently rebounded after policy changes and Southeast Asia remains a key destination which created oversupply conditions in the markets. However, the sequential improvement in profitability reflects the Company'’s ability to mitigate some of this impact through better capacity utilization, process optimization and an improved product mix.

Revenue from Exports for the quarter was Rs 645 million, compared with Rs 779 million in Q2FY25. The decline was mainly due to weaker realisations in native starch across key Asian markets, where elevated Chinese export volumes kept pricing under pressure.

On the operations front, both our facilities maintained continuous production during the quarter, with no downtime. This stability helped improve throughput as we worked through the residual inventory buffers.

A positive development was the nearing completion of the Dhule expansion project. The ramp-up of native starch capacity is on track for commissioning by December 2025. As these capacity come online, we expect to see improved absorption of fixed costs and step-up in contribution from higher-margin derivative segments.

On the demand side, industries that use starch such as food and beverage, textiles, pharmaceuticals and packaging continued to exhibit steady growth, driven by a resilient base demand environment. The wider Indian starch and starch-derivatives market is projected to grow at over 7% CAGR over the medium term, supported by trends in clean-label formulations, bio-based applications and ethanol-blending policies.

Looking ahead, we expect pricing pressures in native starch to ease gradually as Chinese export flows normalize. Meanwhile, with Dhule’s expanded capacity coming Qline, we anticipate stronger performance in the second half of FY26. We remain focused on disciplined cost control, optimizing product mix and capturing incremental share in higher-value derivative segments.”

While dispatches during the quarter were lower, the segment remains healthy on an H1 basis, and the outlook for the region in the second half remains strong, supported by a robust order book. Our operations in the Middle East also showed early signs of improvement during the quarter.

On the expansion front, we are progressing well with our new facilities at Mundra and Egypt. The Egypt plant is preparing to begin trial production shortly, and construction at Mundra continues to advance as planned.
