Quarter Snapshot
Welspun Corp delivered record Q2 company-basis EBITDA of Rs.781.57 Cr (+24.82% YoY, 16.83% margin) with H1 tracking at 53.95% of the FY27 EBITDA guidance of Rs.2,850 Cr, alongside a record net cash position of Rs.3,886.66 Cr and H1 operating cash flow of Rs.3,107.59 Cr. A USD 115 mn US capacity expansion and a USD 4.7 Bn order book underpin visibility, though the Sintex-led Others segment loss widened to Rs.(43.51) Cr and standalone PBT fell 34% YoY on India softness. Q2 margin normalized from Q1's 18.53% peak, and the deferred-tax-driven negative current tax will normalize.
