Somany Ceramics reported consolidated PAT attributable to controlling interest of ₹36 crore for Q1 FY27 — a 242.7% year-on-year surge from ₹10 crore — on consolidated revenue of ₹744 crore, up 23.7% from ₹601 crore in Q1 FY26, results announced August 13, 2026. EBITDA margins expanded sharply to 11.6% from 8.0%, with standalone capacity utilisation climbing to 83% from 72% a year earlier. The turnaround was driven by price hikes of 16–18% implemented in the quarter to pass through gas cost increases, improved product mix, and a JV business that swung from a ₹10 crore loss to a ₹3 crore profit. The board approved a total capex programme of approximately ₹275 crore through FY27, anchored by a new 9+ MSM glazed vitrified tile plant in South India — a ₹220 crore investment with targeted revenue of ₹350 crore — expected operational by Q3/Q4 FY28 via a 49% stake in Siravit Ceramics. Additionally, NCLT Kolkata has admitted the petition to amalgamate three subsidiaries into Somany Ceramics, simplifying the group structure.
What this means for the trade: A 243% profit surge, 83% capacity utilisation, and a committed ₹220 crore South India plant tell a clear story — Somany is investing for volume leadership in the fastest-growing tile region. Dealers in South India should expect an active push from Somany’s network development teams through FY27–28.
