Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
The Foil segment delivered a robust 44% YoY revenue growth in Q2FY26, driven by sustained demand in bare and food-grade foil categories. Overall consolidated revenue grew 29% YoY to INR 188.2 Cr in Q2FY26 and 24% YoY to INR 371.9 Cr for H1FY26.
Geographic Revenue Split
Not explicitly disclosed by region, however, the company reported record export orders secured in Q2FY26 for execution in H2FY26, with a strategic focus on European partners expecting demand surges by 2027.
Profitability Margins
Gross Margin stood at 20.7% in Q2FY26, down 309 bps YoY from 23.8%. PAT Margin for Q2FY26 was 3.72%, a slight decline of 28 bps YoY from 4.01%. H1FY26 PAT margin dropped significantly to 0.43% from 5.70% due to a fire-related exceptional loss.
EBITDA Margin
Consolidated EBITDA margin was 7.12% in Q2FY26, a decrease of 107 bps YoY from 8.18%. EBITDA grew 13% YoY to INR 13.4 Cr, but margins were squeezed by a INR 0.68 Cr loss in the new MMP Electricals subsidiary and higher raw material costs.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward specialized aluminium applications in food packaging and power infrastructure. MMP is positioning itself by expanding into composite insulators and high-end pharmaceutical foils.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with other aluminium product manufacturers, maintaining an edge through diversified segments (powder, foil, and conductors).
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on 30+ years of promoter experience, established relationships with blue-chip clients like UltraTech and Torrent Pharma, and technical expertise in atomised powder manufacturing.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to global aluminium price volatility (LME) and domestic demand in the construction (cement) and pharmaceutical sectors.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing demand for food-grade packaging and pharmaceutical foils is driving the 44% growth in the foil division.
Geopolitical Risks
Potential trade barriers or shipping disruptions affecting the growing export business to Europe.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations

Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax expense for Q2FY26 was INR 1.9 Cr on a PBT of INR 8.9 Cr (approx. 21%).
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the full recovery and insurance settlement from the fire incident in the Powder division, which resulted in a INR 17.3 Cr exceptional loss in H1FY26.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Operations are primarily based in Nagpur, Maharashtra, though the client base is national and increasingly international.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on Hindalco for foil stock supply to maintain production levels.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Mitigated by continuous R&D and technology upgrades by the promoters to maintain market position.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables are managed at 47 days; the foil business operates largely on a 'cash and carry' basis to minimize credit risk.
