Thirumalai Chemicals reported a consolidated net loss of ₹34.31 crore for Q2 FY27 (ended September 30, 2026), compared to a loss of ₹43.67 crore in the preceding quarter. Revenue from operations stood at ₹596.47 crore, up from ₹546.67 crore in Q1. Notably, the group faces liquidity pressure, with current liabilities exceeding current assets by ₹772.69 crore, primarily due to capex at its US subsidiary TCL Specialties LLC. To bolster liquidity, the company raised ₹96.73 crore via partial disposal of Ultramarine & Pigments shares and ₹10.38 crore from selling windmills and land.

ICRA Downgrades Rating to BBB (Negative); US Project Cost Escalates to $340 Million
ICRA has downgraded Thirumalai Chemicals' long-term rating to [ICRA]BBB (Negative) from [ICRA]BBB+ (Negative). The downgrade is primarily driven by a 33% increase in the US project cost to USD 340 million (approx. Rs 2,850 Cr) and a six-month delay in commissioning to December 2026. This escalation, caused by high US construction and labor costs, increases the funding gap and leverage, straining liquidity as debt repayments are scheduled to commence in FY2027.
