Q2 profit up 13.5 per cent to Rs 58.26 crore and revenue rises 24 per cent, strengthening confidence in meeting the 18–20 per cent FY26 growth goal
Doms Industries expects to close the financial year with growth at the upper end of its 18–20 per cent target, after a strong performance in the first six months, the stationery and art materials maker said.
“The momentum we have built in the first half, gives us great confidence in achieving our annual growth target of 18 per cent – 20 per cent, with a bias towards the upper end of the range. By combining manufacturing capacity expansion, continuous new product introduction and deepening consumer reach, we continue to build a future-ready organisation that shall deliver sustainable growth and long-term value for all our stakeholders,” the company said.
Q2 Profit Rises 13.5 percent
On Monday, the stationary maker posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 58.26 crore for the July–September quarter of FY26, an increase of 13.5 per cent over the Rs 51.32 crore reported a year earlier. While operational revenue rose 24 per cent year-on-year to Rs 567.9 crore, driven by steady demand, compared with Rs 457.7 crore in the same quarter of FY25.
The company also reported an improvement in operating earnings. Ebitda came in at Rs 99.51 crore, up 15.8 per cent from Rs 85.93 crore a year ago. Despite this, the Ebitda margin slipped to 17.5 per cent from 18.8 per cent in the corresponding period last year.
Santosh Raveshia, Managing Director of Doms Industries, said the quarter’s results reflected disciplined execution and strong fundamentals, even as the industry navigates the ongoing GST transition.
Raveshia noted that the GST rate revision, along with previous income-tax cuts, should lift disposable incomes and spur consumption. “This aligns well with our plans to commercialise our flagship 44-acre expansion project, providing a timely platform to capitalise on emerging opportunities,” he said.

The company said it remains focused on strengthening creativity-led product categories, including scholastic supplies, art materials, paper stationery and office essentials, while widening its global reach through its partnership with Italy’s FILA Group.
