BirlaNu standalone revenue rises to 580.77 crore rupees as consolidated loss widens
Key Facts
BirlaNu reported standalone operating revenue of 580.77 crore rupees in the quarter ended September 30, 2026, up from 501.83 crore in the year-earlier period, according to its official financial results. On a consolidated basis, revenue reached 884.52 crore rupees, compared with 810.15 crore a year earlier. But the group recorded a pre-tax loss of 53.77 crore rupees, against a loss of 48.70 crore in the same quarter a year earlier. The results therefore show a divergence between rising revenue and a wider consolidated pre-tax loss. The published figures were standalone and consolidated, while the open disclosure did not substantiate the draft figures for “India Business” revenue and sector EBITDA.
The consolidated results included an exceptional provision of 90 crore rupees for impairment of the investment in subsidiary BirlaNu International GmbH. Roofing revenue was 244.45 crore rupees in the quarter, compared with 190.65 crore a year earlier. By contrast, the flooring segment recorded revenue of 296.93 crore rupees, down from 308.69 crore in the year-earlier period. The differing revenue trends in the two segments reflect mixed performance across the company’s businesses during the quarter. BirlaNu describes itself as a home and building products and services company, with products including pipes, construction chemicals, putty, roofing, walls and flooring.
The results came as growth in India’s index of industrial production slowed to 6.7% year on year in September 2026, from 8.0% in August, according to India’s Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. Meanwhile, manufacturing grew 7.6% year on year in September, and its index stood at 128.0, compared with 116.1 in September 2025. The index’s growth in August had been underpinned by 9.0% expansion in manufacturing, while 18 of 23 industrial groups recorded positive growth, according to the government statement. For the first quarter of fiscal 2027, BirlaNu’s consolidated operating revenue was 824.32 crore rupees, compared with 749.18 crore in the year-earlier quarter. According to the official disclosure, the board approved the unaudited results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, at its meeting on November 2, 2026.
