Domestic sales accounted for INR 1,644.69 Cr (96.1%) of FY25 revenue, while exports contributed INR 65.77 Cr (3.9%). South India is a key growth region, delivering 8% value growth and 10.4% volume growth YoY in Q2FY26.
Profitability Margins
Gross profit margin stood at 34.8% in Q2FY26, up 127 bps YoY. PAT margin improved to 7.4% in Q2FY26 from 5.9% in Q2FY25, reflecting a 151 bps expansion driven by cost discipline and better product mix.
EBITDA Margin
Operating EBITDA margin expanded by 183 bps YoY to 12.8% in Q2FY26. For H1FY26, EBITDA margin improved to 11.89% from 10.56% in H1FY25, primarily due to stabilized raw material prices and a reduction in advertising expenses from 7.2% to 6.2% of operating income.
Capital Expenditure

Operational Drivers
Raw Materials

Raw material costs are reflected in the gross margin of 34.8%. The company benefits from the stabilization of cotton and yarn prices, which previously caused margin compression when they could not be passed on to consumers during price spikes.
