The company reported a 5.02% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹10.58 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared with ₹11.14 crore posted in Q4 FY25.

Total expenses increased significantly by 8.39% YoY to ₹277 crore in Q4 FY26. The cost of materials consumed stood at ₹17.43 crore, representing a substantial 20.62% YoY increase. Employee benefit expenses rose modestly by 0.65% YoY to ₹33.97 crore during the quarter. Profit before tax (PBT) declined 12.87% YoY to ₹14.75 crore during the quarter, indicating pressure on operational margins. As per exchange filings, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) fell 18.7% year-on-year to ₹30.2 crore against ₹37.1 crore in the year-ago quarter, while EBITDA margin narrowed to 10.6% from 13.8%.
The company faced significant operational challenges during the quarter due to supply chain disruptions. Earlier on Wednesday, March 11, Borosil had informed that production at its borosilicate glass furnace in Jaipur has been temporarily suspended, and operations at its opal glass furnaces have been scaled down after Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) restricted LPG supplies, citing a force majeure situation. The company had received communication from OMCs informing of supply curbs due to disruptions in global fuel supply triggered by the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
The company announced plans to seek shareholders approval through an enabling resolution to raise up to ₹250 crore through various modes, including a further public offer, ADRs, GDRs, FCCBs, debt issuance, QIP, or any other permissible route, subject to necessary regulatory and statutory approvals. Borosil operates as a supplier of laboratory glassware, microwaveable kitchenware, and opal ware in India. The positive stock movement ahead of results announcement suggests investor confidence in the company's strategic initiatives despite quarterly profit challenges.
