Let me begin by briefly touching upon the broader global environment. The world continued to
navigate through multiple uncertainties ranging from the ongoing conflict in Europe and
developments in the Gulf region to evolving trade policies, tariff, volatility in financial and bond
markets and climate-related uncertainties.
Such developments have become an increasingly familiar part of the global operating
environment, requiring businesses and economies to continuously adapt. Amid these challenges,
it is encouraging to see how India has demonstrated remarkable resilience despite unprecedented
external shocks and geopolitical uncertainties, the country has maintained its growth
momentum, supported by strong domestic fundamentals, robust demand and a resilient
economic framework.
India's ability to navigate this complex global environment while remaining firmly on its growth
trajectory is particularly encouraging. Against this backdrop, at GFL, we remain firmly focused
on strengthening our position as a globally integrated chlorine chemistry and advanced materials
company.
Our strategy continues to be anchored around 3 key pillars: strengthening our core
fluoropolymers business, expanding our fluorochemicals portfolio and building a scalable
advanced battery materials platform as a future growth engine. During the quarter, we continued

to make progress across all 3 strategic priorities. Our efforts remain focused on expanding
manufacturing capacities, strengthening technology and product development, enhancing
backward integration and progressing customer qualification across our businesses.
Let me touch upon chemical business first. Chemical segment revenue increased 42% year-on-
year to INR1,723 crores, reflecting a healthy demand across the fluoropolymers and
fluorochemicals portfolio. EBITDA grew 33% year-on-year to INR505 crores with sequential
growth of 10%, demonstrating sustained operating momentum.
Chemical segment's PAT increased 46% year-on-year to INR290 crores, outpacing revenue and
EBITDA growth with increased PAT margin. On a consolidated basis, our quarter 2 FY '27
revenue stood at INR1,760 crores, registering a growth of 45% year-on-year and 11% quarter-
on-quarter and EBITDA for the quarter stood at INR473 crores, registering a growth of 32%
year-on-year and 11% quarter-on-quarter.
The EBITDA margin for the quarter was steady and stood at 27%. The margin reflected the
resilience of our operating performance despite the evolving market environment. Profit after
tax for quarter 2 FY '27 stood at INR240 crores, representing a growth of 42% year-on-year and
10% quarter-on-quarter. Coming to the segment-wise performance, our fluoropolymers business
continued to deliver healthy growth, while fluorochemicals witnessed a particularly strong
performance during the quarter. Coming to our fluoropolymers business.
Revenue for quarter 2 FY '27 stood at INR931 crores, registering a growth of 22% year-on-year
compared with INR764 crores in quarter 2 FY '26. On a sequential basis, revenue grew by 2%
from INR914 crores in quarter 1 FY '27.
As indicated in our previous interactions, we had guided for an annual growth of 17% to 20% in
our fluoropolymers business. We are pleased to have delivered 22% year-on-year growth this
quarter and we remain confident of sustaining this growth trajectory going forward. We continue
to see healthy demand across several application segments, particularly in high-performance and
specialty applications such as FKM in automotive sector and PSA and modified PTFE in
semiconductors and data centers.
Our strategy remains focused on moving towards higher-value products and specialty grades,
which are finding increasing applications across semiconductor manufacturing, electric
mobility, electronics, chemical processing, renewable energy, data centers and other advanced
industrial applications. During the quarter, our focus remained on capacity debottlenecking with
plans to undertake additional growth capex over the next 1 year. We also continue to focus on
improving our product mix, enhancing operating efficiencies and progressing with customer
approvals for newer grades.
Moving to our fluorochemicals business. Revenue for the quarter stood at INR607 crores,
