Consolidated results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: Operational EBIT and EBITDA are different financial measures. EBITDA margin declined despite higher revenue and profit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n SRF\u2019s Chemicals Business reported a 25% increase in segment revenue to \u20b92,079 crore in Q2 FY27, compared with \u20b91,667 crore in the year-ago quarter. Segment operating profit increased 10% to \u20b9528 crore from \u20b9481 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fluorochemicals Business benefited from strong refrigerant sales volumes and positive pricing trends across key products. Meanwhile, the Specialty Chemicals Business continued to operate amid changing global prices, excess industry capacity in China and geopolitical uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company said both its Fluorochemicals and Specialty Chemicals businesses continued working on operational efficiency initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Performance Films and Foil Business was a key contributor to SRF\u2019s quarterly performance. Segment revenue increased 51% year-on-year to \u20b92,122 crore from \u20b91,408 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Operating profit for the segment rose 73% to \u20b9206 crore, compared with \u20b9119 crore in Q2 FY26. The business also achieved its highest-ever packed production of films during the quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the company noted that demand for films was moderated by inventory build-up following higher purchasing activity during the previous quarter. Demand for aluminium foil remained healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SRF\u2019s Technical Textiles Business recorded a 25% increase in segment revenue to \u20b9595 crore, compared with \u20b9474 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Operating profit increased 71% to \u20b972 crore from \u20b942 crore, supported by healthy demand and improved margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Revenue from other businesses, including coated and laminated fabrics, increased 18% to \u20b9107 crore, while operating profit rose 29% to \u20b910 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside its quarterly results, SRF announced a capital investment of approximately \u20b9600 crore to establish a battery-grade aluminium foil manufacturing facility in India through its wholly owned subsidiary, SRF Altech Limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The proposed facility will be located at the subsidiary\u2019s existing site in Jetapur, Madhya Pradesh, and will have a planned capacity of approximately 12,000 metric tonnes per annum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The investment will be completed in two phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The facility will manufacture aluminium foil for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, targeting growing demand from energy storage and electric mobility applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This investment represents SRF\u2019s move to expand its portfolio of value-added materials for emerging industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the first half of FY27, SRF reported consolidated revenue of \u20b99,937 crore, up 33% from \u20b97,459 crore in the corresponding period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consolidated net profit for the six-month period increased 55% to \u20b91,268 crore, compared with \u20b9820 crore in H1 FY26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first-half performance reflects growth across the company\u2019s major business segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SRF\u2019s Q2 FY27 results show strong year-on-year growth in revenue and net profit. Its Performance Films and Foil Business recorded particularly strong growth, while the Technical Textiles Business also delivered improved operating profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the decline in EBITDA margin from 21.3% to 19.3% indicates that profitability relative to revenue came under pressure. Investors may also monitor demand trends in specialty chemicals, operating costs and execution of the planned battery-grade aluminium foil project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new investment could help SRF expand into battery materials over the coming years, although the project is still in the development stage and its future financial contribution remains uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SRF Limited reported a 35% increase in consolidated revenue to \u20b94,904 crore and a 31% rise in net profit to \u20b9509 crore in Q2 FY27. Growth in its Performance Films and Foil and Technical Textiles businesses supported the quarterly performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company\u2019s planned \u20b9600 crore investment in battery-grade aluminium foil manufacturing adds another development to watch as India\u2019s energy storage and electric mobility industries expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
