Profitability Margins
Net Profit Margin for H1 FY26 stood at 4.52% (INR 0.99 Cr profit on INR 21.90 Cr revenue), a slight decrease from 5.33% in H1 FY25. Profit Before Tax (PBT) margin was 6.53% in H1 FY26 compared to 7.17% in H1 FY25, impacted by rising interest and depreciation costs.

Capital Expenditure
The company is in an expansion phase, with INR 5.51 Cr spent on the purchase of fixed assets during H1 FY26. Capital Work in Progress (CWIP) stood at INR 4.20 Cr as of September 30, 2025, compared to just INR 0.01 Cr in the previous year.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
CRISIL suspended the company's 'CRISIL B/Stable' rating in November 2016 due to non-cooperation and lack of information. Interest costs rose 70.97% YoY to INR 0.53 Cr in H1 FY26, driven by an increase in short-term borrowings to INR 5.93 Cr.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Scrap rubber and rubber waste are the primary raw materials, with 'Cost of Material Consumed' accounting for INR 5.56 Cr or 25.39% of total revenue in H1 FY26.
Capacity Expansion
Current capacity is not specified in MT, but the company is actively expanding as evidenced by the INR 12.43 Cr in fixed assets and INR 4.20 Cr in CWIP as of H1 FY26.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs were INR 5.56 Cr in H1 FY26, up from INR 2.47 Cr in H1 FY25. Procurement of stock-in-trade also increased significantly to INR 10.62 Cr, suggesting a shift toward trading or outsourced processing to meet high demand.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 91.67% to INR 0.92 Cr in H1 FY26, reflecting higher utilization of new machinery and expanded production facilities.
Strategic Growth

External Factors
Industry Trends
The reclaim rubber industry is growing due to the global shift toward circular economies and the cost advantage of recycled rubber over synthetic/natural rubber. LRRPL is positioning itself as a scrap rubber recycling specialist to benefit from these sustainability trends.
Competitive Landscape
The company competes with other reclaim rubber manufacturers and auto component suppliers in the Gujarat industrial belt.
Competitive Moat
The company's moat lies in its specialized recycling infrastructure and established promoter experience (Patel and Chauhan families). However, the moat is weakened by 'Information Availability Risk' which led to a credit rating suspension.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to the automotive industry cycle and environmental regulations regarding rubber waste disposal.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing preference for 'green' and recycled components by tire manufacturers and industrial rubber users is driving demand for LRRPL's products.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations 2015. The company follows Accounting Standards (AS) rather than Ind-AS.
Environmental Compliance
As a scrap rubber recycling unit, the company must comply with Gujarat Pollution Control Board norms and waste management regulations.
Taxation Policy Impact
The effective tax rate for H1 FY26 was approximately 30.7% (INR 0.44 Cr tax on INR 1.43 Cr PBT).
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Information availability risk is the primary concern, as highlighted by CRISIL's inability to maintain a rating. This could lead to 10-15% higher financing costs or restricted access to capital.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High concentration in Gujarat, with the main manufacturing unit located in Village Pithai, Kheda.
Third Party Dependencies
Increasing reliance on 'Purchases of stock in trade' (INR 10.62 Cr in H1 FY26) indicates a dependency on external suppliers for finished or semi-finished goods.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company must continuously upgrade its recycling technology to maintain the quality of reclaim rubber grades required by modern tire manufacturers.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables increased to INR 6.81 Cr in September 2025 from INR 5.37 Cr in March 2025, representing 31% of H1 revenue, indicating potential working capital pressure.
