Kajaria Ceramics Management commentary

“Our consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at ₹1,186 crore, indicating minimal growth compared to the corresponding period last year, mainly due to a soft market and the absence of ply sales following the closure of this division,” said Ashok Kajaria, Chairman & Managing Director of Kajaria Ceramics. “However, the margins continued to improve further in Q2 FY26 to 17.94 per cent as compared to 13.47 per cent in Q2 FY25,” Kajaria added.

 

“With Kajaria 2.0, we enter a new chapter of bold transformation, fresh thinking, and renewed energy — led by both Chetan and Rishi, who have been recently elevated as Vice Chairman and Managing Director, respectively. I am confident that Kajaria’s future rests in capable and visionary hands,” said Kajaria.
