Carborundum Universal Q3 Net Profit Rises to ₹75.9 Cr; Declares ₹1.50 Interim Dividend
Carborundum Universal reported a consolidated revenue of ₹1,290.9 crore for Q3 FY26, representing a modest 2.8% growth YoY. While the reported net profit attributable to owners jumped to ₹75.9 crore from ₹34.8 crore in the previous year, this was primarily due to a high exceptional loss in the base year; core Profit Before Tax actually declined by 23.3% YoY. The company declared an interim dividend of ₹1.50 per share, maintaining its track record of shareholder returns. Segmentally, Abrasives showed growth, but Ceramics faced a revenue decline of 3.8% YoY.
