Page Industries Q2 Profit Rises 4% Amid FEMA Violation Disclosure and Margin Pressure
Page Industries reported a 4% rise in Q2 FY27 profit to Rs 202.5 crore on 11.5% revenue growth to Rs 1,439.6 crore, driven by a 5.5% increase in sales volume. EBITDA rose 7.4% to Rs 300.1 crore, but margins contracted due to higher raw material costs and volatile cotton prices. The company disclosed a FEMA violation related to online sales of imported products without physical stores, with no expected material financial impact. Shares fell over 12% amid investor concerns despite a Rs 150 interim dividend declaration.
