Arvind Ltd Q1 FY27 Results Analysis: PAT Surges 47%, EBITDA Margin Expands 104 bps

Arvind Ltd's Q1 FY27 numbers came in strong, with revenue of Rs. 2,500.96 Cr (+24.65% YoY) and PAT growth of +5.61% YoY. Here's a quick read of what worked, what to watch, and what management said.

Quarter Snapshot

Arvind delivered record Q1 revenue of Rs.2,501 Cr (+25% YoY), with normalized PAT up 47% and EBITDA margin expanding 104 bps. Advanced Materials was the standout, growing 40% and exceeding its 18-20% aspiration. The Dalco-GFT acquisition added a new growth stream, and a Rs.500 Cr post-quarter QIP strengthens the balance sheet. However, input cost pressures compressed textiles margin, and finance costs rose from acquisition debt. Overall, the quarter confirms strong execution and a favourable regulatory tailwind from US tariff relief.
