B.K. Goenka, Chairman, Welspun Group, said: 'FY26 tested the entire home textiles industry ' US tariff disruptions, West Asia conflict, and cautious global demand created a challenging backdrop throughout the year. We navigated this with discipline and emerged meaningfully stronger. We exit the year with net debt reduced by over 50%, free cash flow grew 8.5x to ₹956 crores, and a domestic business that grew 29.2% in Q4.

The sequential recovery in Q4, with revenues up 7.7% and margins at 10.8%, confirms the trough is firmly behind us. India's landmark FTAs with the US, EU, and UK are a generational shift for our sector ' and we are exceptionally well positioned to capture what comes next. Our #1 global ranking in the S&P Corporate Sustainability Assessment further strengthens our standing with the global retailers. We enter FY27 with confidence ' targeting double-digit growth, backed by structural tailwinds, a strong balance sheet, and a business that has proven its resilience.
