Despite short-term challenges from geopolitical events, the overall outlook and strategic initiatives are positive.
Aarti Industries Limited (AIL) has released its investor presentation for Q1 FY27, highlighting performance updates and future outlook. The company reported a 57% year-on-year increase in revenue, though it saw a 17% sequential decline. This revenue growth was primarily attributed to higher input prices passed on to customers and improved business volumes.
The West Asia crisis significantly impacted supply chains, leading to volatility in raw material prices and a reduction in volumes for various key products on a quarter-on-quarter basis. Consequently, AIL's revenue share from the Middle East dropped from approximately 15% to 2%. Despite these challenges, the company implemented steps to optimize its product and geography mix, resulting in improved EBITDA. Monetization of low-cost inventory and foreign exchange gains also supported EBITDA growth.
Key business highlights for Q1 FY27 include achieving a Platinum rating from Ecovadis for sustainability. The company's joint venture with Superform is on track for commissioning and ramp-up in Q2 FY27, and the 'Re Aarti' project for chemical recycling of plastics is expected to commission in H2 FY27. Capacity expansion for fuel additives from 290 to 360 kTPA was completed in July 2026. AIL also reported successful cost savings initiatives across all value chains, with 70% of implemented ideas generating value, and significant progress in building in-house digital and analytics capabilities, including over 40 GenAI use cases executed in the last quarter.
Looking ahead, AIL has outlined a three-year plan (FY25-FY28) focusing on cost optimization (₹150-200 crore), volume and margin ramp-up (₹350-550 crore), and CAPEX-led growth (₹300-450 crore). The company aims to deliver consistent volume growth driven by increased capacities and targets an EBITDA range of ₹1,800-2,200 crore, with a Debt/EBITDA ratio of less than 2.5x. Growth drivers include ramp-up in key value chains like Acid, DCB, and NCB, expansion in Ethylation & NT, and commissioning of new projects such as MPP and Zone 4.
