MUMBAI, India , July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aarti Industries Limited (AIL), a leading global speciality chemicals company, today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026. The results were approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held earlier today.The Company delivered a strong start to FY27, reporting approximately 79% year-on-year and 13% quarter-on-quarter EBITDA growth, driven by an optimised product mix, inventory, and forex gains despite volume degrowth in a challenging global operating environment.The quarter was marked by geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which disrupted global supply chains, increased freight costs, and put inflationary pressure on crude-linked raw materials. Despite these headwinds, AIL effectively managed the situation through proactive market diversification, strong customer engagement and agile supply chain management.The temporary disruption in exports to West Asia impacted the Company's Energy business during the quarter. However, the Company successfully redirected a significant portion of these volumes to other international markets, limiting the overall business impact and reinforcing the strength of its diversified global customer base.The Company also continued to make steady progress on its long-term growth initiatives. The Zone IV expansion and chlorotoluene value chain projects were affected by labour constraints by about 4-6 months and are expected to be commissioned in phases over the next three quarters. The PEDA and MPP products have entered the customer qualification phase and are expected to ramp up over the next two quarters as the MPP plants get operationalised in Q2 FY27.In line with its long-term capital allocation strategy, the Company's FY27 capital expenditure programme remains on track within the guided range of ₹700–800 crore, supporting future growth across high-value speciality chemical platforms.Financial Highlights (Q1 FY27)On a consolidated basis:
