Castrol India reported a solid Q2 FY26 with revenue of ₹1,497 crore (+7% YoY), EBITDA of ₹349 crore (+8% YoY), and PAT of ₹244 crore (+5% YoY). Volume growth of 8% YoY to 66 million liters was driven by strong performance in industrial (+13%) and rural (+12%) segments, while automotive grew high single digits. The company maintained EBITDA margins near the upper end of its guided 21-24% range, aided by benign input costs, localization of high-margin industrial products, and selective price hikes. Management highlighted continued momentum from its 'Bharat' strategy, expanding distribution to over 160,000 outlets, and growing industrial CMS offerings. Guidance remains positive with focus on core mobility, rural expansion, and data center coolant opportunities. Key risk: margin compression if industrial growth accelerates further, as industrial margins are structurally lower than automotive.
कैस्ट्रॉल इंडिया ने Q2 FY26 में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई ₹1,497 करोड़ रही, जो पिछले साल से 7% ज़्यादा है। मुनाफा ₹244 करोड़ (+5%) और परिचालन मुनाफा ₹349 करोड़ (+8%) रहा। तेल की बिक्री 8% बढ़कर 6.6 करोड़ लीटर हुई, जिसमें औद्योगिक (+13%) और गाँवों (+12%) में अच्छी बढ़ोतरी हुई। कंपनी ने कच्चे माल की कम कीमतों और चुनिंदा दाम बढ़ोतरी से मुनाफा मार्जिन 21-24% के ऊपरी स्तर पर रखा। प्रबंधन का कहना है कि 'भारत' रणनीति से 1.6 लाख से ज़्यादा दुकानों तक पहुँच बढ़ी है। आगे गाँवों, डेटा सेंटर कूलेंट और मोबिलिटी पर फोकस रहेगा। खतरा: अगर औद्योगिक बिक्री तेज़ी से बढ़ी तो मुनाफा मार्जिन कम हो सकता है, क्योंकि इसका मार्जिन ऑटोमोटिव से कम है।
