Greenpanel Industries reported a transformative FY’26, marked by a focus on volume growth, customer excellence, and operational efficiencies. Despite geopolitical headwinds in the Middle East impacting exports, the company achieved 15.5% year-on-year revenue growth in Q4 FY’26, reaching INR 391 crore. Full-year revenue stood at INR 1,502 crore. The company is prioritizing market share expansion, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and managing cost pressures through strategic price increases and raw material mix optimization.
Annual Performance Overview
During the FY’26 fiscal year, Greenpanel Industries successfully navigated a transitional phase by scaling its new MDF manufacturing line in Andhra Pradesh. The company reported a consolidated annual revenue of INR 1,502 crore, representing a 7.8% growth over the previous year. While consolidated operating EBITDA for the full year was INR 132.7 crore (8.8% of revenue), reported profitability was impacted by adverse exchange rate movements on Euro-denominated borrowings and initial stabilization costs at the new facility.
Strategic Growth Initiatives
Greenpanel prioritized volume growth, achieving 29.5% year-on-year growth in domestic MDF volumes in Q4. The company successfully launched high-value products including HDWR doors, thin MDF, and Boil Black. These initiatives, supported by an amplified trade engagement program reaching over 21,000 participants, helped the company outpace the weighted average volume growth of the industry.
Market Outlook and Operational Strategy
The company enters FY’27 with a cautious yet optimistic stance regarding market demand. With a capacity utilization of 60% in the final quarter, Greenpanel possesses significant headroom for organic growth without requiring major capital investments. The management has confirmed a modest capex plan of INR 20-30 crore for the year, focusing on sustenance rather than significant expansion. To mitigate ongoing raw material cost fluctuations, particularly in chemicals, the company has implemented a 15% price increase and continues to pursue raw material rationalization by diversifying timber sources.
Plywood Segment Update
The plywood business showed signs of strength, recording an 18% volume growth in the fourth quarter. The company aims to further boost volumes in this segment through disciplined operations and potential future capacity additions at existing locations once current utilization rates are maximized. Following a 6% price hike in this segment, Greenpanel remains focused on improving operating leverage to enhance margins.
