FY27 Earnings Conference Call. This conference call may contain forward-looking statements

I now hand the conference over to Mr. Rajiv Poddar, Joint Managing Director. Thank you, and
over to you, sir.
Rajiv Poddar: Thank you, Shaurya. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Along with
me, I have Mr. Satish Sharma, Senior President and Director Strategy and Business
Development, Mr. Saroj Khuntia, CFO, Mr. Sushil Mishra, Head of Accounts, and SGA, our IR
Advisors.
Let me begin with my remarks on the quarter's performance.
End markets across the globe were extremely volatile due to evolving geopolitical situation.
Despite this backdrop, we have delivered good sales volumes growth in quarter two. The
profitability was impacted due to the headwinds caused by inflation in raw materials and freight
costs.
Going forward, we believe these headwinds will continue in the coming few quarters. We did
take some price hikes. However, we could not fully pass through the cost price inflation.
Similarly, in the Carbon Black business, we have continued to see raw material volatility led by
higher crude prices.
A key highlight for us was the recently announced tie-up with Pirelli for a strategic offtake
agreement for the production of Pirelli-branded premium car tires in our facility in Bhuj. I would
just like to add that in Phase 1, the production and sales is expected to start in the next calendar
year, and we look forward to gradually ramping up the sales volume to 8 lakh tires - in year four,
that is year 2030. This strategic tie-up not only fills our capacity but also strongly establishes
our position as a commendable player in the Indian premium PCR market.
The agreement further paves the way for a second phase in which there is an envisagement, at
certain conditions, the creation of a 50-50 joint venture, and the construction of a production
plant dedicated to high-value passenger car tires for both the brands, that is Pirelli brand as well
as BKT brand, to serve India and other international markets for both the players.
Let me start with the highlights of our OHT business.

Our OHT business delivered good sales volume growth in Q2. The sales momentum was led by
uptick in our end markets and segments. It is important to note that growth is not exactly
comparable as last year Q2 was marred by very low sales from U.S. owing to Tariff situation.
In Europe, we faced challenges due to extreme weather conditions and its related pressures on
the agricultural market. Despite this, we have continued to build on the strong position we have
created for the BKT brand in all major countries in the European market. India has continued to
outperform We have seen positive trends across all micro markets in India despite erratic
monsoons. In Americas, we witnessed stable sales. We are focusing on sharper execution to
further increase our market share in this larger geography.
One of the emerging growth levers for us in the OHT segment is the positive response from our
end markets for the All-Steel Radial mining - range of tires. This is increasingly finding
acceptance in the major mining markets across the world.
I now invite Satish ji to share insights on the other two businesses.
Satish Sharma: Good morning, everyone. I start first with the Carbon Black business.
For quarter two FY27, our Carbon Black business recorded decent revenue growth on Y-on-Y
basis, with third-party sales at around 10% of overall business. We are seeing robust demand for
our range of products. Having completed all capex, we are firmly increasing our customer base.
Further, we are initiating a roadmap for accelerated product development towards the better
margin specialty blacks.
Let me now move on to our on-road business.
Our TBR and 2-wheeler range of tires has gained strong acceptance from both the channel as
well as the end users, ensuring that we have a steep ramp-up of both production and sales.
Further, in this portfolio, we are looking forward to the launch of PCR tires in the month of
January '27. The recent tie-up with Pirelli has also evoked a very strong positive sentiment from
our channel partners.
With this summary, I now invite Saroj ji to share our operational and financial highlights.
Saroj Khuntia: Hi, good morning, everyone. I will now share our operational and financial highlights.
For H1, tire sales volume stood at 185,167 metric tons. Of this, the on-road portfolio contributed
early single digit to the Q2 sales volume. Our standalone revenue for the quarter stood at
INR3,450 crores, registering a growth of 49% year-on-year.This includes realized loss on
foreign exchange pertaining to sales of INR 41 crores.
For H1, standalone revenue stood at INR 6,859 crores, registering a growth of 35% year-on-
