Vishnu Chemicals Ltd — earnings calls

Vishnu Chemicals reported consolidated operating revenue of Rs 433.4 crore for Q1 FY27, up 24.9% year-on-year, with PAT growing 23% to Rs 39.6 crore. Management attributed growth to higher barium and chromium realizations, a shift toward value-added chromium derivatives, and contribution from the strontium business, while noting that EBITDA margin moderated to 15.1% due to a one-off baryte price adjustment and a maintenance shutdown at the Vizag facility. Management also discussed rising ocean freight costs from the West Asia crisis, progress on restarting South African mining operations, and plans for solar capacity expansion.
