# Himadri Speciality Q2 net profit jumps 31% to ₹231 crore 2026-10-18T10:17:34+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Clean-tech company Himadri Speciality Chemical on Friday, 16 October 2026 reported a 31 per cent jump in consolidated net profit to ₹231.32 crore for the September quarter of FY27, aided by strong revenue growth in key business verticals, the company said in an exchange filing. Total income rose to ₹1,733.32 crore from ₹1,106.96 crore in the year-ago period, as per BusinessLine. Economic Times reports a 57.9 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated revenue from operations to ₹1,691 crore in Q2 FY27. EBITDA grew about 27 per cent to ₹303 crore. Chairman Anurag Choudhary attributed the performance to an optimised product mix and expansion in core businesses. The company also highlighted the proposed merger of Birla Tyres’ business with Himadri and an investment in Sicona Battery Technologies. Himadri said it would focus on commercialising advanced materials and expanding its global presence. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both BusinessLine and Economic Times report the same headline figures and strong revenue growth. The two outlets differ only in what they emphasise: BusinessLine leads with the profit jump and segment revenue from carbon materials and power, while Economic Times adds management commentary, the proposed Birla Tyres merger, and Sicona Battery Technologies investment, which BusinessLine omits. The coverage is otherwise uniform straight reporting, with no discernible slant from either outlet. The next concrete item to watch is the progress of the Birla Tyres merger and Himadri's commercialisation of advanced materials, as noted by Economic Times. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehindubusinessline.com (neutral report) Leads with profit and segment revenue, no commentary - economictimes.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Adds management quote and merger details, no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
