Mold-Tek posts record ₹46.7/kg EBITDA; lube volumes drop 17%

Tipsheet Editorial — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 17:44:18 GMT

Revenue crosses ₹300 cr for the first time, but base-oil shortages at private customers pulled lubricant tonnage down. Management now guiding to ₹90 cr capex and 18-20% EBITDA growth.

What’s new

Record EBITDA per kg of ₹46.7 driven by pharma and food packaging mix shift.
Quarterly revenue crosses ₹300 cr for the first time, but tonnage growth was only 6.3%.
Capex guidance raised to ₹90 cr from earlier ₹80-85 cr; lube volumes fell 17% due to base-oil shortages.

Why it matters

The record EBITDA per kg shows the payoff from moving up the value chain into pharma and food. But the 17% drop in lubricant volumes is a reminder that customer-specific disruptions can still cap growth. The raised capex signals management's confidence in the trajectory, even as the near-term volume outlook stays at 10%.

What we’re watching

Whether the base-oil shortage at private lube customers resolves in coming quarters.
If EBITDA per kg can sustain near ₹47 as the mix continues shifting to higher-margin segments.
Execution of the ₹90 cr capex and its impact on capacity and margins.

The full read

Mold-Tek delivered a record ₹46.7 per kg EBITDA in Q1, pushing quarterly revenue past ₹300 crore for the first time. The driver is the mix shift: pharmaceutical and food packaging now carry the margin weight, while lubricant volumes (traditionally a core segment) fell 17% because of base-oil shortages at private clients. Total tonnage grew only 6.3% as a result. Management is leaning into the opportunity, raising capex guidance to ₹90 crore from an earlier ₹80-85 crore, and is calling for 10% volume growth with 18-20% EBITDA expansion for the full year. The record per-kilogram margin is the headline. Yet the lube disruption is the footnote, and it explains why the stock, at a P/E of 31x, still has something to prove.

Mold-Tek Q1 sales top ₹300 cr, pharma packs leap 39%

Tipsheet Editorial — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:26:35 GMT

Net sales rose 25% YoY to ₹300.45 cr, operating profit per kg hit a record ₹46.68, and the new pharma packaging vertical saw volumes jump 38.75%.

What’s new

Net sales hit a record ₹300.45 cr, up 25% YoY.
Operating profit per kg rose to an all-time high of ₹46.68.
Pharma packaging volumes surged 38.75% YoY; new capacity added.

Why it matters

OP/kg at a record confirms profitability is improving. The pharma vertical is gaining traction, diversifying away from paints. Lube disruption from the Iran war and paints' moderate 10.82% growth temper the quarter.

What we’re watching

Sustained pharma volume growth trajectory.
Any update on Iran war impact on lube segment.
Whether OP/kg can hold above ₹46 as utilisation normalises.

The full read

Mold-Tek Packaging posted a strong Q1, with net sales crossing ₹300 crore for the first time. Operating profit per kilogram hit a record ₹46.68, driven by higher utilisation and the consolidation of five Hyderabad units into two larger plants. The pharma packaging vertical, a new focus area, saw volumes jump 38.75%, and the company added machines at Sultanpur to cater to growing demand. Food/FMCG packs grew 26% and paints 10.82%. The only blemish: lube packs fell due to supply disruptions at customer sites caused by the Iran war. The quarter confirms the positive profitability trend, but with no guidance upgrade or surprise, it is consistent with the disclosed trajectory. The next test is whether the pharma momentum can sustain and how quickly the lube segment recovers.

Mold-Tek logs record ₹46.68/kg EBITDA in Q1, pharma packs lead growth

Tipsheet Editorial — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:18:01 GMT

Mold-Tek Packaging posted a strong Q1 with revenue of ₹300.45 crore and record EBITDA per kilogram of ₹46.68, as pharma packaging volume surged 38.75%.

What’s new

Q1 revenue ₹300.45 cr, up 26.32% sequentially.
EBITDA per kg hits all-time high of ₹46.68.
Pharma packaging leads volume growth at 38.75%.

Why it matters

The record EBITDA per kg shows efficiency gains from higher capacity utilisation and the Hyderabad consolidation. But the open question is whether this margin level can hold as volumes scale further.

What we’re watching

Sustained volume momentum in pharma and food & FMCG.
Any margin upside from the consolidation of Hyderabad units.
Management's outlook for capacity expansion on the next concall.

The full read

Q1 was a clean beat. Revenue hit ₹300.45 crore, up 26.32% sequentially. Net profit rose 23.89% to ₹25.57 crore. But the standout is EBITDA per kg at a record ₹46.68 — that's an all-time high, driven by better capacity utilisation and Hyderabad consolidation. Pharma packaging led volume growth at 38.75%, with food & FMCG at 26.20% and paints at 10.82%. The numbers are strong. Yet this is a routine quarterly report; the market absorbs such data quickly. The open question is whether the margin lift and pharma momentum can sustain through FY27. A conservative debt-equity ratio of 0.28 supports the expansion case. Record levels — but can they hold?

Mold-Tek crosses ₹300 cr sales, EBITDA per kg hits record ₹46.68

Tipsheet Editorial — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:06:47 GMT

Q1 revenue tops ₹300 crore for the first time. Record operating margin per kilogram, led by pharma pack volumes up 38.75%.

What’s new

Pharma packaging volume surged 38.75%; food & FMCG grew 26.20%.

Why it matters

Crossing ₹300 crore in quarterly revenue is a milestone, but the record EBITDA per kg is the real signal: better capacity utilisation and cost efficiencies are driving profitability. Pharma's 38.75% volume growth shows diversification beyond core FMCG is gaining traction.

What we’re watching

Whether the EBITDA per kg can sustain above ₹45 as utilisation normalises.
Pharma segment's contribution to overall revenue in coming quarters.
Capacity expansion plans and any fresh capex guidance.

The full read

Mold-Tek Packaging's Q1 FY27 results are a clean beat: ₹300.45 crore in revenue (first time above that mark) and a record ₹46.68 per kg in EBITDA. The sequential growth of 26.32% in sales and 23.89% in net profit is impressive, but the per-kilogram metric matters more. It says the company is getting more out of its existing capacity, helped by the Hyderabad consolidation. Pharma packaging volumes jumped 38.75%, a signal that diversification is working. The board approved the numbers on July 27. A strong quarter, though as a regular results filing, the news was widely anticipated.
