- FY26 revenue rose 50% to ₹318 cr with improved EBITDA margins.
- ₹20 cr capex over two years will push manufacturing capacity from 6,600 to 18,000 MT.
- New halogen-free flame retardant plant is in trial with five customers. Three patents to be filed within six months.
Why this matters
SK Minerals wants manufacturing to account for half its revenue, up from 23% now. The ₹100 cr revenue target from a single new product line, once fully utilised, would be nearly a third of last year's total sales. The capex commitment shows management is putting capital behind that shift. The customer trials and patent filings are the milestones that will determine if the plant delivers.
What we're watching
- Customer trial outcomes for the halogen-free flame retardant product.

- Progress on raising manufacturing's share of revenue from 23% to 50%.
The full read
SK Minerals grew revenue 50% to ₹318 crore in FY26 and is now steering capital toward manufacturing. The company plans ₹20 crore in capex over two years to roughly triple capacity, from 6,600 MT to 18,000 MT, with a target of lifting manufacturing's revenue contribution from 23% to 50%. The centrepiece is a new halogen-free flame retardant additive plant. It can produce 400 tonnes per month at full utilisation and is currently in trial with five customers. If those trials convert, the plant alone could generate about ₹100 crore annually, nearly a third of last year's turnover. Three patents are to be filed within six months. The transcript itself is routine post-disclosure. It adds detail to what management said live on May 29 but no new financials or orders.
