Castrol India Q1 2026 Results: Revenue Up 9% YoY to ₹1,545 Cr, PAT Grows 4% to ₹242 Cr

🟢 POSITIVE ⭐ 8/10

EARNINGS 📅 28 Apr 2026, 01:25 PM

Castrol India reported a steady performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with revenue growing 9% YoY to ₹1,545 crore. While EBITDA rose 7% to ₹329 crore, Profit After Tax (PAT) saw a more modest growth of 4% to ₹242 crore, primarily due to rising raw material costs and currency volatility. The company successfully expanded its rural reach to 43,000 outlets and added over 600 new industrial customers during the period. Management noted that while market share gains continue, geopolitical events are starting to create inflationary pressure on input costs.

Revenue from operations increased 9% YoY to ₹1,545.24 crore compared to ₹1,422.00 crore in Q1 2025.
EBITDA grew 7% YoY to ₹329 crore, while Net Profit (PAT) rose 4% to ₹242.18 crore.
Cost of raw and packing materials consumed rose to ₹766.28 crore from ₹705.92 crore in the year-ago quarter.
Rural distribution network expanded to approximately 43,000 outlets, delivering double-digit growth in that segment.
The company added 600+ new customers in industrial and EV segments and signed an MoU with HPCL for a re-refined base oil ecosystem.

💡 Investors should maintain a positive outlook given the steady growth and market share gains, but must monitor the impact of rising crude-linked raw material costs on margins. The pending 65% stake sale of the global lubricants business by parent bp plc to Stonepeak remains a critical long-term monitorable for corporate structure changes.
