Pidilite's gross margins remained stable, while EBITDA margins improved by 101 basis points year-on-year. Domestic subsidiaries delivered 11.5% sales growth, with EBITDA rising sharply by 31.7%, aided by softer input costs. International subsidiaries reported a 6.4% YoY increase in revenue, while EBITDA for the segment rose by 9%.
Additionally, the company, to commemorate the 101st birth anniversary of its founder, BK Parekh, has approved a bonus share issue in the ratio of 1:1 (one bonus share for every one fully paid equity share held). Additionally, the board declared a special interim dividend of Rs 10 per share.
Going forward, Pidilite emphasised its continued investment in building a resilient supply chain, new manufacturing capacities, and innovation across C&B and B2B segments—both of which continue to positively contribute to overall revenue.
'As we look ahead, we continue to remain cautiously optimistic as the domestic operating environment improves with good monsoons, steady demand conditions, especially in the construction sector, lower interest rates and recent measures to improve liquidity. We, however, remain watchful of geopolitical developments with their likely impact on supply chain disruptions and uncertainty around global tariffs. We remain committed to our strategic agenda of delivering consistent, profitable volume-led growth through investment in our brands, supply chain and people,' said Sudhanshu Vats, Managing Director of Pidilite Industries.

New Delhi: In a major development that promises to cut the travel time between Pune and Bengaluru, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has recently announced that the government has started the construction work on a new Mumbai-Pune highway.

Gadkari said that the government plans to spend Rs 50,000 crore on road and highway projects in Pune district. The minister further explained that the highway work has already begun, so there was no need for a formal foundation stone ceremony. While talking about the project, Gadkari also said that the country has enough money and technology for these projects but needs more dedication from people involved in the work. Here are some of the important details: The new Mumbai-Pune highway will start from the Atal Tunnel in Mumbai The highway will connect to the Pune Ring Road. The road will later lead to Bengaluru, reducing the travel time among Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru significantly.

Momentum sagging at UN plastic pollution treaty talks
GENEVA: Talks on forging a landmark treaty to combat the scourge of plastic pollution were stumbling Saturday, with progress slow and countries wildly at odds on how far the proposed agreement should go. The negotiations, which opened on Tuesday, have four working days left to strike a legally-binding instrument that would tackle the growing problem choking the environment.

"A real push to achieve our common goal is needed," the Ecuadoran diplomat said, adding that Thursday was not a just deadline but "a date by which we must deliver. Live Events "Some articles still have unresolved issues and show little progress towards reaching a common understanding," Vayas lamented. The key fracture is between countries that want to focus on waste management and others who want a more ambitious treaty that also cuts production and eliminates use of the most toxic chemicals. And with the talks relying on finding consensus, it has become a game of brinkmanship. A diplomatic source told reporters that many informal meetings had been scrambled together for Sunday's day off to try and break the deadlock. "If nothing changes, we won't get there," the source added. Battle of the brackets Countries have reconvened in Geneva after the failure of the supposedly fifth and final round of negotiations in Busan, South Korea in 2024. After four days of talks, the draft text has ballooned from 22 to 35 pages -- with the number of brackets in the text going up near five-fold to almost 1,500 as countries insert a blizzard of conflicting wishes and ideas. The talks are mandated to look at the full life cycle of plastic , from production to pollution, but some countries are unhappy with such a wide scope. Kuwait spoke up for the so-called Like-Minded Group -- a nebulous cluster of mostly oil-producing nations which rejects production limits and wants to focus on treating waste. "Let us agree on what we can agree. Consensus must be the basis of all our decisions," Kuwait insisted. Nudging in the same direction, Saudi Arabia, speaking for the Arab Group, said the responsible way ahead was to start considering what bits of the text "may not make it to the final outcome due to irreconcilable divergence". But given how little is truly agreed on, Uruguay warned that consensus "cannot be used as a justification to not achieve our objectives". Eirik Lindebjerg, global plastics adviser for the World Wide Fund for Nature, told AFP that the Like-Minded Group's proposal was "another attempt to make it a waste management agreement ", and to stifle talks on reducing the amount of plastic in circulation. Path through the fog The UN Environment Programme is hosting the talks and swiftly called a press conference after the stock-take session. UNEP executive director Inger Andersen said a deal was "really within our grasp, even though today it might not look so". "Despite the fog of negotiations I'm really encouraged," she told reporters, insisting: "There is a pathway to success." Vayas added: "We need to accelerate. We need a better rhythm in this and we need to also work in such a way that it will be clear that we will deliver by the end." Afterwards, Bjorn Beeler, executive director at IPEN, a global network aimed at limiting toxic chemicals, told AFP: "This whole process has not been able to take decisions and is still collecting ideas. We're sleepwalking towards a cliff and if we don't wake up, we're falling off." 'Profits from poisoning' Plastic pollution is so ubiquitous that microplastics have been found on the highest mountain peaks, in the deepest ocean trench and scattered throughout almost every part of the human body. More than 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced globally each year, half of which is for single-use items. Plastic production is set to triple by 2060. Panama's negotiator Juan Monterrey Gomez took the floor to slam those countries wanting to stop the treaty from encompassing the entire life cycle of plastic. He said microplastics "are in our blood, in our lungs and in the first cry of a new-born child. Our bodies are living proof of a system that profits from poisoning us". "We cannot recycle our way out of this crisis."

"People importing from Russia are objecting to us for importing from Russia," says Venkaiah Naidu on US tariffs
Former Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday questioned the United States' stance on India's oil imports from Russia, saying "People who are importing from Russia are objecting to us for importing from Russia" and emphasising that New Delhi will make decisions based solely on its national interest. Speaking to reporters in the national capital, he said, "People who are importing from Russia are objecting to us for importing from Russia. We have to decide from which country we have to import, keeping our national interest in mind."

Naidu also said that while India seeks good relations with the United States, people in the country are "not happy" with Washington's support to Pakistan, which he described as "a haven for terrorism." Live Events His remarks come days after US President Donald Trump said there would be no trade negotiations with India until a dispute over tariffs was resolved. The comments followed his administration's decision to double tariffs on Indian imports, which Washington described as a "penalty" for New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil. The US State Department has said that "India is a strategic partner" and that the two countries are engaged in "full and frank dialogue," even as trade and geopolitical differences have added strain to bilateral relations.
