I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. Rajiv Poddar, Joint Managing Director.
Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Rajiv Poddar: Thank you, Manas. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Today, along
with me, I have Mr. Satish Sharma, Senior President and Director of Strategy and Business
Development. Our new CFO, Mr. Saroj Khuntia; Mr. Sushil Mishra, our Head of Accounts; Mr.
M.S. Bajaj, Special Adviser to Chairman and Managing Director; along with SGA, our IR
Advisor.
Let me begin by introducing Mr. Saroj, our new CFO. Saroj is a Chartered Accountant with
more than 24 years of experience across corporate finance, strategy, treasury management,
capital markets, taxation, governance, risk management, M&A and finance transformation.
Prior to joining us, Saroj served as Vice President, Finance at CG Power and Industrial Solutions.
Earlier, he held CFO positions at Mahindra Accelo, Mahindra Electric Mobility and Mahindra
Retail, among other leadership roles within the Mahindra Group. Prior to that, he was associated
with IBM and Hindustan Unilever.
Let me now begin my remarks on the quarter performance.
Q1 started on a positive note for us. We delivered our highest quarterly sales volume in OHT
segment. This performance is despite the challenges across many international geographies and
end markets as well as within the supply chain.
As guided earlier, we are closely monitoring supply chain disruptions and have taken price hikes
along with the increasing efforts towards the superior product mix to partially offset this impact.
Further, during Q1, we have launched our on-road products in the TBR and 2-wheeler segment
in domestic market.
Let me share highlights of our OHT business.
We continued the momentum of previous quarter, well into Q1. We reported our highest ever
sales volume. We delivered 16% sales volume growth on a year-on-year basis. This performance

was led by decent uptick in our end markets and segments. In Europe, we witnessed a stable
environment. We are working with channel partners across the key markets to further up our
market share in this large and key geography for us.
India performed exceptionally well in Q1 despite of a high base from last year. Our marketing
efforts along with superior product range is helping us gain market share. The growing infra
capex in India is also aiding to our performance.
In the Americas, with the tariff rate settling at 10% levels, we have seen a better performance
led by the U.S.A. With a sharper go-to-market strategy and stable end markets, we expect growth
momentum to sustain. In Americas, we have a long runway of growth in the times to come,
given the brand positioning for BKT and the focus on high-quality products for that market.
For upcoming quarters, we would like to highlight geopolitical uncertainty with supply chain
impacts on both availability of materials as well as the costs, availability of vessels, containers
and freight costs as well. These, along with weather challenges in Europe and the sketchy
monsoon expected in India, are key variables towards near-term performance -.
I will now share some insight into our Carbon Black business.
I'm happy to share that we have appointed Mr. Ashish Kumar Datta as Business Head for Carbon
Black effective July 3, 2026. Ashish brings along with him 36 years of cross-functional
leadership experience across the chemicals, coatingsand polymer industry and -spanning for
both domestic and international businesses. He joins us from Lubrizol Advanced Materials, (a
Berkshire Hathaway company), where as Business Director for South Asia and South Africa, he
carried full responsibility - for the region's performance of coatings business.
Over his career, he has held senior leadership positions in Toyo Ink, Valspar, DIC India and
Shalimar Paints, and began his career as an R&D Chemist at Asian Paints. A graduate of the
institute of ICT, Mumbai, with a degree in Polymer Technology, Ashish also holds an MBA
from NMIMS and has completed Executive Education at Harvard. His strong grounding in
chemical and polymer technology, combined with deep P&L and commercial leadership
knowledge, positions him well to lead our growth in the Carbon Black business.
Let me now share some business highlights of this vertical:
For Q1 '27, our Carbon Black business recorded decent volume growth on a year-on-year basis
with third-party sales at around 10% of overall business. In this quarter, we commissioned our
Phase II of Carbon Black plant, taking the total capacity to 360,000 -MTPA.
For the energy circularity model, we have also increased our captive power plant to 64
megawatts. Going forward, we expect geopolitical challenges to impact the pricing and supply
of Carbon Black on the back of
