DCW reported a difficult Q1 FY27, with revenue up 14% YoY but down 11% QoQ as a PVC crisis wiped out basic chemical margins.

Highlights
Revenue growth14% YoY growth; 11% QoQ decline due to one-time inventory liquidation.
MarginsBasic chemical margins hit by PVC volatility; specialty margins stable at 29%.
Demand visibilityResilient domestic demand in infrastructure, housing, and water management.
Management confidenceCautiously optimistic; focusing on normalized VCM supply and specialty expansion.

Growth

Specialty chemicals grew 38% YoY, partially offsetting a 14Cr EBITDA loss in basic chemicals.

Outlook

Expects FY27 to end better than FY26; targeting 300Cr steady-state EBITDA.

Risks

West Asia supply disruptions for VCM and removal of import duties severely pressured PVC margins.
