On a standalone basis, Tata Chemicals reported a 19% year-on-year rise in revenue to ₹1,204 crore, supported by higher volumes. EBITDA rose 67% to ₹240 crore due to cost control measures, while profit after tax from continuing operations increased 80% to ₹178 crore compared with Q2FY25.

Tata Chemicals Ltd Saturday (November 1) reported a 60% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹77 crore for the quarter ended September 2025 (Q2FY26), compared with ₹194 crore in the same period last year.
Revenue fell 3.1% to ₹3,877 crore from ₹3,999 crore a year ago, due to the reconfiguration of the UK and subdued market conditions. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at ₹537 crore, down 13% from ₹620 crore in Q2FY25, mainly on account of lower volume and lower realisation, partially offset by better cost management.
Margins contracted to 13.8% from 15.5% a year earlier. The company’s net debt as of September 30, 2025, stood at ₹5,583 crore, excluding lease liabilities of ₹776 crore.
