Tamilnadu Petroproducts Limited (TPL), the Chennai-based petrochemical manufacturer, has reported a sharp jump in profitability for the first quarter of FY2026-27, with profit before tax (PBT) and EBITDA more than doubling from the year-ago period.
TPL’s Q1 FY27 revenue surged 68% year-on-year to Rs. 784.17 crore, compared with Rs. 468.27 crore in Q1 FY26. EBITDA jumped 138% to Rs. 124.84 crore, from Rs. 52.45 crore, while PBT before exceptional items rose 128% to Rs. 103.65 crore, against Rs. 45.47 crore a year earlier.
Profit after tax (PAT) more than doubled to Rs. 77.82 crore from Rs. 33.22 crore in Q1 FY26.
The company attributed the strong performance to higher demand, improved capacity utilisation and continued cost-management initiatives.
TPL noted that its Q4 FY26 results are not comparable with Q1 FY27, as the company had undertaken a planned shutdown during the fourth quarter for an expansion project.
Commenting on the results, Ashwin Muthiah, Vice Chairman – TPL and Founder Chairman, AM International, Singapore, said: "The first quarter has delivered a strong performance, with both sales and profitability showing significant growth, with profitability more than doubling compared to the corresponding period last year.
"This performance reflects the benefits of our continued focus on cost-led operational efficiencies, improved capacity utilization and our ability to respond to higher customer demand. Despite the evolving geopolitical situation in the Middle East resulting in increased input cost, the lower import pressures has supported the quarter’s overall performance."
