Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Standalone EBITDA for the quarter reached ₹22.19 crore, delivering an improved EBITDA margin of 10.69% compared to 7.66% in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, driven by enhanced realizations in value-added product categories.
The core Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC) division remained the primary revenue contributor at 52% of product-wise revenue mix, supported by fabric at 20%, small bags at 12%, multi-filament yarn at 8%, trading at a minor level, and other custom offerings.
During the quarter, the company achieved a major operational milestone through its joint venture, ESSEKAN Private Limited, successfully commencing commercial production and sales of premium polypropylene Taslan yarn, which carries higher realizations than standard yarns.
Construction and installation work on the greenfield needle-punch non-woven fabrics facility progressed on schedule, remaining on track for commercial commissioning by September 2026 to serve automotive, geotextile, and industrial applications.
Export markets continued to provide geographical resilience, with Europe accounting for 59.4% of export revenue, South America at 19.4%, North America at 16.1%, and smaller shares across Asia, Australia, and Africa.

What shaped the business before this quarter
Incorporated in 1971-72, the company initially commenced production of woven sacks before expanding into FIBC manufacturing and establishing BRC-certified food-grade finishing units between 2000 and 2008.
In 1986, the company became the first from India to export PP woven sacks to Europe, subsequently building a multi-decade export footprint spanning over 40 countries.
The company began manufacturing high-tenacity PP multifilament yarn in 2011 and became the first in Uttar Pradesh to install a rooftop solar plant in 2014, eventually scaling green energy to cover over 60% of total energy needs.
