Oriental Aromatics Q1 profit plunges 95% to INR 5m

Oriental Aromatics reported profit after tax of INR 5 million for Q1-FY26, down 95% from INR 110 million a year earlier, despite a 10% increase in production.

Total operational income fell 10.9% quarter-on-quarter to INR 2,255 million. EBITDA margin improved to 8.03% from 7.62% in the previous quarter but remained below the 10.29% recorded in Q1-FY25.

Sales volumes dropped quarter-on-quarter due to seasonal camphor trends and a temporary specialty chemicals slowdown.
