π’ Recent Corporate Announcements
GRP Limited reported a marginal 2% YoY growth in Q3 FY26 total income to βΉ135.2 crore, but adjusted PAT fell sharply by 49% to βΉ2.3 crore due to high raw material costs and US tariff impacts. The company faced a 40% decline in export volumes to North America as tariffs hit competitiveness, though a recent reduction in US tariffs from 50% to 18% offers a positive outlook for future quarters. Management has prudently deferred the expansion of tyre pyrolysis and recovered carbon black facilities to August 2026 to ensure operational stability. Despite global headwinds, domestic reclaim rubber revenue grew 27% in Q3, helping offset some export weakness.
- Q3 FY26 Adjusted PAT declined 49% YoY to βΉ2.3 crore, while total income grew marginally by 2% to βΉ135.2 crore.
- Export volumes to North America fell 40% YoY due to high tariffs, though recent reduction to 18% is expected to aid recovery from Q4.
- Deferred commissioning of Tyre Pyrolysis and Recovered Carbon Black expansion to August 2026 for technical optimization.
- Domestic reclaim rubber revenue saw strong growth of 27% YoY in Q3 FY26, increasing market share by 200 bps.
- Invested βΉ3 crore in a solar PPA expected to generate annual cost savings of βΉ3-4 crore starting soon.

This disclosure is a routine regulatory requirement under SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. Investors can access the recording on the company's website to gain deeper insights into management's commentary on the business environment.
- Earnings call conducted on February 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. IST.

GRP Limited reported a flat topline for Q3 FY26 with total income at βΉ1,352 Mn, but faced significant bottom-line pressure as PAT (excluding exceptional items) fell 49% YoY to βΉ23 Mn. The decline was primarily driven by a 383 bps contraction in gross margins due to 11% higher raw material costs and lower export volumes linked to US tariffs. While domestic reclaim rubber revenue grew 14%, the non-reclaim segment struggled with pricing pressures and sub-optimal utilization of new plants. The company is currently executing a βΉ250 Cr capex plan, focusing on crumb rubber and pyrolysis to diversify its portfolio.
- Total Income for Q3 FY26 stood at βΉ1,352 Mn, a marginal 2% increase YoY, while 9M FY26 income remained flat at βΉ3,930 Mn.
- EBITDA margins contracted by 153 bps to 8.3% due to rising input costs and a 45% decline in export margins for certain products.
- Domestic Reclaim Rubber revenue grew 14% YoY, partially offsetting a 9% decline in export revenues caused by geopolitical uncertainties and tariffs.
- The company has incurred βΉ76 Cr out of a planned βΉ250 Cr capex for integrated facilities to manufacture Crumb rubber and Tyre Pyrolysis Oil.
- A one-time exceptional expense of βΉ14 Mn was recorded during the quarter on account of the New Labour Code implementation.
GRP Limited reported a significant decline in profitability for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, with standalone net profit falling to βΉ2.36 crore from βΉ5.82 crore in the same period last year. While revenue from operations saw a modest YoY growth of 3.6% to βΉ133.31 crore, margins were heavily pressured by rising finance costs and a one-time exceptional charge of βΉ1.40 crore related to new labour code provisions. Furthermore, the company has officially scrapped its proposed Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) as the 365-day regulatory timeline for implementation has expired. The core Reclaim Rubber segment continues to drive the bulk of the revenue but faces margin compression.
- Standalone Revenue from Operations grew 3.6% YoY to βΉ133.31 crore in Q3 FY26.
- Net Profit plummeted 59.5% YoY to βΉ2.36 crore compared to βΉ5.82 crore in Q3 FY25.

Gross margins for H1FY26 were 50.6% (down 123 bps YoY). PAT margins declined significantly to 1.4% in H1FY26 from 2.7% in H1FY25, a drop of 122 bps, primarily due to higher interest costs and forex losses.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin stood at 8.6% in H1FY26, down 38 bps from 9.0% in H1FY25. FY24 EBITDA margin was 10.8%, up from 6.6% in FY23, driven by EPR credit sales and cost efficiencies.
Capital Expenditure
Planned capex of INR 200-220 Cr over the next 3 years (FY26-FY28). Historical capex in FY24 was INR 67.39 Cr, including INR 37.04 Cr for Plant and Machinery and INR 22.85 Cr for Civil Infrastructure.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
CRISIL Ratings maintains a 'Stable' outlook. Total debt as of Sep-25 was ~INR 205 Cr, with interest coverage ratio weakening but remaining adequate. Bank limit utilization was 89% for the 12 months ended May 2025.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
End-of-life tires (ELT) and Butyl rubber. Raw material costs account for approximately 50% of operating income.
Import Sources
Sourced from an extensive chain of 350+ vendors across 150+ cities domestically; specific import countries for Butyl rubber are not disclosed but are subject to global price fluctuations.
Key Suppliers
Not disclosed by specific company names; however, the company maintains a base of 350+ vendors.
Capacity Expansion
Current capacity is 1,220,000+ MTPA (including crumb rubber capacity added in Q4FY25). Planned expansion includes a facility for rubber crumbs and downstream products with an annual capex of INR 50-60 Cr.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs as a percentage of revenue fluctuated; Q2FY26 saw a INR 3.8 Cr gross margin reduction due to elevated Butyl rubber prices and export margin contraction of 15% YoY.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Operating efficiency improved in FY24 through debottlenecking; however, subsidiary GCSL is currently operating below optimal capacity due to supply chain bottlenecks.
Logistics & Distribution
Distribution costs impacted by increased ocean freight rates; company is leveraging inland customer networks to maintain service levels.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
9-11%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be driven by capacity enhancement in the reclaim rubber segment, maturing of the EPR credit regime (providing high-margin income), and scaling the Repurposed Polyolefins and Engineering Plastics businesses. The company is also investing INR 200-220 Cr in capex for downstream products.
Products & Services
Reclaimed rubber, rubber crumbs, engineered plastics, polymer composites, and repurposed polyolefins.
Brand Portfolio
GRP (Global Reclaim Partner).
New Products/Services

Market Expansion
Targeting 55+ countries with a focus on balancing regional supply chains to offset North American tariff risks.
Market Share & Ranking
Holds a 20% share in the domestic market and ~35% share in the export market for reclaimed rubber.
Strategic Alliances
Subsidiaries include Gripsurya Recycling LLP and GRP Circular Solutions Ltd (GCSL).
External Factors
Industry Trends
The EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) market is maturing with floor/ceiling prices set at INR 2.525βINR 8/kg, providing a structured sustainability incentive for recyclers.
Competitive Landscape
GRP is a market leader in reclaimed rubber; competition includes other global recyclers and virgin rubber producers.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on 5 decades of experience, established relationships with 8/10 top global tire firms, and ISCC+/GRS certifications which are difficult for new entrants to replicate.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to global tire demand and automotive industry cycles.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing global push for sustainability and circular economy regulations (like EPR) is driving demand for recycled rubber and plastic solutions.
Geopolitical Risks
Proposed tariff barriers in North America have reduced container availability and increased ocean freight rates, directly impacting export volumes.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) EPR norms require tire companies to purchase credits from recyclers. Formulae for awarding credits may undergo regulatory changes.
Environmental Compliance
Compliant with EPR norms; sold EPR credits worth INR 8.91 Cr in H1FY26. Invested in biofuel plants for GHG reduction.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Volatility in Butyl rubber prices and the final decision on North American tariff barriers could impact margins by 10-15%.
Geographic Concentration Risk
52% of revenue is from exports, making the company vulnerable to global trade policies and shipping disruptions.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on tire manufacturers for 70% of revenue and EPR credit demand.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk is mitigated by ongoing 'shopfloor digitization' and ISCC+ certifications.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Liquidity is adequate at INR 24 Cr (Sep-25), but bank limit utilization is high at 89%.
