Grasim reported a strong Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue of INR 44,312 crore (+25% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 6,215 crore (+33% YoY), driven by robust performance across building materials, financial services, and core businesses.

Management maintained its target of INR 10,000 crore revenue for Birla Opus by FY28 and guided for breakeven at Birla Pivot by FY27 exit.
