Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on Grindwell Norton
Grindwell Norton (GWN) delivered a decent quarter performance during the quarter, with revenue rising ~12% YoY to Rs7.7bn with EBITDA margin contracting by 47bps YoY to 18.2% owing to softer gross margins. Ceramics and Plastics segment remained a key growth driver delivering a healthy growth of 14.8% YoY alongside margin improvement. Abrasives division grew modestly by 4.1% YoY with flattish margins reflecting the lingering impact of Chinese dumping & slower exports. While Digital Services’ business recorded topline growth but continued to face margin compression. With the recent land acquisition at Halol, Gujarat in Q1FY26, GWN is strategically positioned for future capacity expansion and manufacturing footprint providing long-term growth visibility.
