Tata Chemicals Ltd announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 2025, reporting a 68% year-on-year increase in net profit at ₹252 crore, compared to ₹150 crore in the same period last year. The significant growth in profitability highlights the company’s improved cost efficiency and operational focus.
Revenue from operations for the quarter stood at ₹3,719 crore, a slight decline of 1.8% compared to ₹3,789 crore in Q1 FY25. The marginal dip in topline performance was primarily due to external factors, including the cessation of certain operations.
Despite the revenue drop, operating performance remained strong. EBITDA for the quarter rose by 13% year-on-year to ₹649 crore, up from ₹574 crore in the same quarter last year. This improvement reflects better cost management and productivity enhancements.
EBITDA margin also showed notable expansion, increasing to 17.4% from 15.1% in Q1 FY25. The margin improvement underscores Tata Chemicals’ ability to protect profitability through operational discipline, even in a soft revenue environment. Profit After Tax (before non-controlling interest) also showed significant growth, increasing to ₹316 crore from ₹175 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. As of June 30, 2025, Tata Chemicals’ net debt stood at ₹4,972 crore, excluding lease liabilities amounting to ₹760 crore, indicating a stable financial position.
On a standalone basis, Tata Chemicals reported a strong performance with revenue from operations rising to ₹1,169 crore, marking a 12% increase year-on-year. Standalone EBITDA reached ₹270 crore, reflecting a 15% jump, while Profit After Tax from continuing operations surged by 20% to ₹307 crore, showcasing healthy growth momentum across core domestic operations.
R Mukundan, Managing Director & CEO, said, “Global markets continue to face uncertainty due to shifting trade tariffs, resulting in subdued near-term demand trends. In contrast, demand in India and China has remained steady, while other parts of Asia and the Americas (excluding China, India, and the US) are showing strength. Although pricing pressures persist across regions, the broader outlook remains favorable, underpinned by long-term trends in sustainability.”
Mr Mukundan added,”Despite challenging conditions, the company has delivered a solid performance, supported by efficient operations and disciplined cost control. We are focused on enhancing operational excellence through technology adoption, innovation, and talent development. Our sustainability agenda, anchored by Project Aalingana, continues to guide our actions. We are strategically expanding our core operations and specialty offerings to drive growth and build long-term value.”
