Asahi India Glass Limited (ASAHIINDIA) Q2 Results FY27 Preview: Date, Time, Expectations & Key Things To Watch

Asahi India Glass is India's leading integrated automotive glass maker, and it heads into Q2 FY 2026-2027 with passenger vehicle demand running hot — SIAM PV domestic sales rose 30.7% YoY to 1.36 million units in the quarter. The print will speak to whether Q1 FY27's momentum holds (standalone PAT up 183.77% YoY) and whether the Float glass business inflects under the new Rs. 34,000/MT minimum import price that came into force from 18 August 2026.

Asahi India Glass Limited Q2 Results Date and Time

The board is scheduled to meet on 3 November 2026 to consider the Q2/H1 FY27 unaudited financial results, per the 27 October 2026 board intimation. The trading window was shut from 1 October 2026 until 48 hours after the disclosure under Regulation 29 of SEBI LODR.

What to expect from Asahi India Glass Limited's Q2 FY27 results

The quarter's thesis is set by demand and policy: PV domestic sales of 1.36 million units in Q2 FY27 (+30.7% YoY, with UVs up 34.2%) give Asahi India Glass — which holds roughly 80% passenger-car glass market share and derives ~68% of revenue from the Auto Glass business — a strong volume backdrop, while the DGFT's Rs. 34,000/MT minimum import price on clear float glass, in force from 18 August 2026, provides a pricing umbrella for the Float segment for two of the quarter's three months. On costs, the picture is mixed: soda ash pricing is expected to remain weak with about 1.7 million tonnes of record global inventory and domestic pricing guided stable by Tata Chemicals, but the domestic gas price was notified at US$9.00/MMBTU for September 2026 and the Indian basket crude averaged $90.19/bbl in August 2026 versus $69.11 a year earlier — a headwind for furnace energy costs after power & fuel costs already rose 29.8% YoY in Q1 FY27. Management's stated yardstick from the FY26 annual report is the shift 'from building capacity to absorbing capacity', with Soniyana and Roorkee float investments 'expected to add to overall financial performance' from FY 2026-27 — making Q2 the second test of whether Float external revenue (down 0.36% YoY in FY26) turns and the 21.47% Q1 FY27 Float segment result margin holds. The company enters the quarter with borrowings of Rs. 2,058.67 Cr, debt-EBITDA of 2.15x and FY26 cash flow from operations of Rs. 501.69 Cr, against a stated ambition of delivering 'healthy ROCE' (10.67% standalone in FY26). The call is likely to cover the margin bridge behind FY26's EBITDA-PAT divergence (EBITDA +20.16% vs PAT -7.16%), progress on the conditional 25-30% power unit-cost reduction, and the consumer glass subsidiary, whose consolidated Q1 FY27 net profit came in Rs. 237 Lakh below standalone.
