Lords Chloro Alkali Q2 FY27 slides: green push amid margin pressure

Lords Chloro Alkali Limited reported a 14.62% year-over-year revenue increase to Rs. 115.51 crore for Q2 FY27, though EBITDA margins contracted by 464 basis points to 16.29% due to weaker caustic soda volumes. Shares fell 3.3% to $132.01 following the results. The company emphasized its strategic progress in renewable energy integration and capacity expansion, noting a 40.38% surge in Chlorinated Paraffin Wax volumes.

Total income jumped 10.36% to Rs. 222.08 crore H1 FY27, and profit after tax rose 23.01% to Rs. 23.97 crore. Managing Director Ajay Virmani highlighted improved caustic soda realizations and higher CPW realizations while citing the focus on optimizing plant efficiencies and cost discipline. The company's strategic transformation includes a 14.5 MW AC solar plant and the goal of increasing renewable energy usage to 70-80% within two to three years.
