Management Commentary

Mr. Pradeep Rathod, Chairman & Managing Director, commented that FY26 was marked by evolving market conditions and softer demand in certain consumerware categories. Q4 FY26 represented the highest-ever quarterly revenue of ₹654 crore. Growth was led by the Writing Instruments segment including additional revenues from Cello stationery brand, revival of exports business, and new premium product launches. On the consumerware side, performance in the Hydration segment remained slower, while Glassware and Opalware categories witnessed steady performance. Strategic initiatives including glassware and steel flasks capacity expansion, addition of Cello stationery brand, integration of Wimplast, and product portfolio rationalization are expected to meaningfully contribute to performance in FY27.
