The full read
Polyplex Corporation’s FY26 results reveal a stark divergence between top-line growth and bottom-line health. While revenue climbed to ₹708.59 crore from ₹688.52 crore, consolidated net profit plummeted to ₹4.09 crore from ₹35.77 crore. Management blames currency volatility and rising input costs for this collapse.
It is a difficult year.
Beyond the financials, the company faces a new legal hurdle: a minority shareholder of its subsidiary, EcoBlue, has launched arbitration proceedings to force a ₹377 crore stake buyout. Polyplex plans to contest the demand, but the claim introduces a material contingent liability that could complicate the balance sheet for the foreseeable future. The board has proposed a dividend of ₹1 per share. The company is now fighting on two fronts: stabilizing its core margins and defending its subsidiary's ownership structure.
