Latest announcements
Exchange filings and their impact on the company.
- Strong 20-27% revenue growth offset by sharp Q3 margin squeeze, leaving 12-month profit only modestly higher.
Castrol India reported Q3 2026 revenue of Rs 1,735 crore, up 27% from last year, but EBITDA fell 19% to Rs 262 crore and net profit fell to Rs 176 crore on sharp raw material inflation and adverse currency. For the nine months, revenue was Rs 5,151 crore, up 20%, with EBITDA up 11% to Rs 1,086 crore and net profit up to Rs 766 crore. The company said early pricing actions helped partly offset costs while it expanded to 1,67,000 outlets and added industrial customers, but expects volatile inflationary conditions to continue.
