The investor presentation for Q1 FY27 results from Everest Kanto Cylinder Limited (EKC) reported consolidated revenues of Rs. 346 crore, a decrease of 10% year-over-year. EBITDA was recorded at Rs. 47 crore, with a margin of 14%, reflecting a decline in profitability due to weaker international performance.

The presentation highlighted healthy demand in India for CNG and industrial gas applications, despite temporary operational constraints.

Additionally, the company showcased its high-pressure gas cylinder solutions at a regional energy platform and strengthened customer engagement in MENA markets.

The presentation included both positive demand fundamentals and negative financial performance indicators.
