2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Balkrishna Industries reported Q3 FY26 standalone revenue of ₹2,682 crore (+4% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹605 crore (22.5% margin). Volume grew 6% YoY to 80,620 MT, driven by strong India demand post-GST cut and a 15% QoQ recovery in US volumes despite tariffs. Europe saw a rebound due to restocking, but US volumes remain down ~30% YoY. Management shared tariff costs with channel partners to regain momentum. Capex of ~₹2,200 crore in 9M FY26, with ₹300-400 crore more expected in Q4 and balance in FY27. Carbon black capacity expanded to 265,000 MTPA, with external sales ramping up. CV/PV4A projects on track but no volume guidance. Key risk: US tariff uncertainty could pressure margins and volume recovery.
