Filatex India registers 26% Y-o-Y rise in PAT in Q1, FY26

A prominent manufacturer of polyester filament yarn, Filatex India reported a 26 per cent Y-o-Y increase in profit after tax (PAT) to Rs 40.7 crore during Q1, FY26 spanning April-June 2025.  Despite a slight dip in revenue from operations, which declined by 0.47 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 1,049.4 crore, Filatex saw improved operational efficiency. The company’s Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) increased by 27.7 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 77.8 crore. This led to a notable margin improvement, with the EBITDA margin rising to 7.41 per cent from 5.78 per cent in Q1 FY25.

Madhu Sudhan Bhageria, Chairman and Managing Director states, the company’s demand and profit margins are improving gradually. It foresees a further expansion in profit with reduction in import volume in coming months.

A major highlight of this quarter was the unveiling of Filatex's proprietary Ecosis Technology, touted as India's first textile-to-textile circular recycling solution. Ecosis represents a groundbreaking stride towards sustainable manufacturing, enabling used textiles to be transformed back into yarn through a closed-loop process of depolymerization and molecular regeneration. This innovative approach is set to significantly reduce textile waste, conserve valuable resources, and bolster the company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments.
