Arvind Ltd Delivers Stable Q1 FY26; Garmenting Hits Record High
Arvind Ltd, one of India’s leading textile and apparel companies, reported a steady start to FY26 with consolidated revenue of Rs 2,006 crore, up 10% YoY, and EBITDA at Rs 186 crore, reflecting a 14% growth. PAT rose 35% YoY to Rs 53 crore, with margins improving to 9.3%.
The garmenting division posted its highest-ever quarterly revenue of Rs 485 crore, driven by 9.8 million pieces produced and new customer additions. Overall, the textile division reported revenue of Rs 1,536 crore, growing 14% YoY.
The Advanced Materials Division (AMD) saw a 7% revenue rise to Rs 351 crore and secured a Rs 200 crore mass transport order under the Vande Bharat train programme. However, the division faced short-term margin pressure due to deferred orders and tariff-related disruptions.
While Q1 reflected challenges from US tariffs and higher input costs, Arvind remains optimistic for H2, where it expects improved performance, in line with its traditional 40:60 H1-H2 split. Key drivers include 14–17% expected garment volume growth, strong export order flow, and a revival of AMD’s high-value defence programmes.
The company has planned Rs 450–475 crore capex in FY26 for capacity expansion, and sees the UK–India FTA as a growth catalyst in global sourcing.
