Revenue rose 28% year-on-year to ₹2,154 crore, despite a subdued domestic market due to early monsoons.
The international business recorded its best-ever quarterly sales at ₹826 crore, up 43% YoY, supported by operations across 9 countries and a presence in over 90 markets. Defence revenue more than doubled to ₹418 crore, aided by the scale-up of Pinaka orders and successful tests of indigenous systems like Bhargavastra and Rudrastra. Repeat orders for drones and hand grenades further cemented Solar’s position as a key defence partner under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.

Underlying volume rose 8%, with the India business growing 5%, supported by high single-digit gains in Household Insecticides and double-digit growth in Electrics. Excluding soaps, volume growth in India was in the teens, helped by product relaunches and demand in newer categories like air fresheners and laundry liquids.
International performance was mixed. Sales in Africa, the USA, and the Middle East grew 30%, offsetting a 4% decline in Indonesia due to pricing pressures and macro headwinds. Latin America also maintained strong momentum. Despite stable net profit, consolidated EBITDA margin stood at 19.2%, impacted by media cost optimization and commodity price trends, with benefits from lower palm oil costs expected to flow in from H2 FY26.
