Castrol India Q1 FY26 Profit Rises 4% to Rs 242 Crore, Revenue Up 9%
The company posted revenue of Rs 1,545 crore, up 9% year-on-year, while EBITDA rose 7% to Rs 329 crore. Profit after tax increased 4% to Rs 242 crore, reflecting stable operational performance during the quarter.
Commenting on the company’s performance, Saugata Basuray, Executive Director and CEO (Interim), Castrol India Limited, said, “The first quarter reflects strong momentum as we continue to execute our growth strategy. We expanded deeper into rural India, tapping village clusters with population below 20,000, with our rural portfolio growing at double digits. In urban markets, we sharpened our focus on premium brands, driving distribution and activations in high-density consumption areas and delivering double-digit volume and value growth. Our industrial business also sustained its double-digit growth. All of this has translated into continued market share gains and reinforces that our strategy is delivering.”
“Towards the end of the quarter, we saw early signs of external headwinds on currency and on raw material costs driven by geo-political events. We are proactively positioning the business to navigate a more volatile and inflationary environment through calibrated pricing, cost discipline and stronger supply resilience. As we respond, we will continue to expand distribution and invest on our premium brands, while staying agile and protecting the fundamentals of the business,” added, Castrol India Limited’s Chief Financial Officer and Whole time Director, Mrinalini Srinivasan.
Commenting on the future, Basuray said, “While the underlying momentum in the business remains strong, the external environment is becoming increasingly volatile. We remain confident in our strategy and will continue to respond with agility and discipline, balancing near-term actions with a clear focus on long-term growth.”
