Castrol Q2 Results 2026: Revenue Rises to ₹1,871 Crore

Most Indian listed companies report their April–June earnings as Q1. However, Castrol India follows the calendar year (CY), which runs from January to December, for financial reporting. As a result, the April–June 2026 period is reported as its second quarter (Q2).

Castrol India Q2 CY 2026 results showed another strong quarter despite supply chain disruptions and sharp raw material inflation. Revenue from operations increased 25% year-on-year to ₹1,871 crore, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) grew 41% to ₹494 crore. Profit after tax (PAT) rose 43% to ₹348 crore.

For the first half of calendar year 2026, revenue increased 17% to ₹3,417 crore. EBITDA rose 25% to ₹823 crore and PAT grew 24% year-on-year to ₹590 crore.

Castrol Q2 CY26 Results: Performance Highlights

Growth was driven by healthy volumes across the consumer, industrial and institutional businesses.

It also managed supply disruptions by leveraging its global sourcing network and diversified vendor base to ensure uninterrupted product availability.

During the quarter, Castrol India maintained its presence across nearly 1.6 lakh retail outlets and expanded its Auto Care portfolio to around 40,000 outlets.
