TCPL Packaging reported Q4 FY26 consolidated total income of INR 465 crore, up over 9% year-on-year, with EBITDA including other income at INR 81 crore and a margin of 17.4%. For the full year, consolidated revenues were approximately INR 1,836 crore, up 3% year-on-year, with EBITDA of INR 318 crore and margins of 17.3%.
