Introduction
The Indian real estate and construction sectors are expanding. Initiatives like affordable housing and smart city projects drive the demand for tiles and bathware. The tile market alone has grown at a CAGR of ~7% from FY19 to FY25,and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8% from FY26 to FY30.
But, the Indian tile industry relies heavily on a single region. Morbi, Gujarat houses over 1,200 manufacturing units. This geographic concentration creates significant supply chain risk. Local disruptions may halt national production. For example, Cyclone Biparjoy forced the region’s economic activity to halt for a while in 2023.
Varmora Granito operates within this segment. They sell a diverse range of products comprising tiles that are manufactured in-house, to both domestic and commercial customers.
The Business Model
Varmora manufactures and sells Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT), Polished Vitrified Tiles, ceramics, and bathware. They leverage new age technology to pioneer design and quality advancements in the industry.
For instance, they partnered with an Italian tile equipment provider to develop and commercialise Integrated Stone Technology (“IST”) in India.
Varmora owns eight facilities in Morbi and a recently operational greenfield facility in Tezpur, Assam, which is in JV with another firm named Allemby Ceramics. This recently opened facility primarily serves to reduce freight costs and reach new markets.
Manufacturing facilities are typically used to make premium products while standard tiles are outsourced to 304 contract manufacturers.
The company sells through two main channels:
- The business to consumer (B2C) channel uses 305 Exclusive Brand Outlets (EBOs) and 2,758 Multi Brand Outlets (MBOs).
- The business to business (B2B) channel supplies products directly to architects, builders, and government agencies.
Unit Economics (FY26, per Sq. Meter)
- Revenue per Sq Meter dropped in FY25 to ₹422 before partially recovering in FY26 to ₹476, signifying volatility.
- Despite this, Adj. EBITDA per Sq Meter expanded consecutively every year, growing from ₹55 in FY24 to ₹73 in FY26.
- Power & Fuel Expenses remained very rigid, hovering consistently between ₹102 and ₹107 per Sq Meter between FY24 and FY26 despite revenue volatility.
Operational KPIs
- Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVTs) account for a vast portion of revenue, from ₹942 Cr in FY24 to ₹1,119 Cr in FY26, going from 66% to 74% of revenue from operations.
- Exclusive Brand Outlets increased to 305, rising by 19% from 256 stores in FY24. The company is actively expanding its retail footprint.
- B2C sales contribution declined to 67% in FY26, from 76% in FY24. The company is relying more on B2B institutional sales.
The Financial Stuff
- Revenue grew slowly from ₹1,435 Cr in FY24 to ₹1,512 Cr in FY26.
- Power and fuel costs consumed ₹329 Cr in FY26 as this is a highly energy intensive business.
- Adj. EBITDA Margins improved to 15% in FY26 from 10% in FY24.
- PAT Margins still remain thin at ~3 to 4%. High Depreciation and Finance Costs drag down net profitability.
Varmora Granito’s Peers (FY26)
- Varmora Granito generated ₹1,512 Cr in revenue, placing it behind industry leaders Kajaria and Somany, and also Asian Granito but well ahead of Orient Bell.
- Similarly, Varmora Granito’s RoNW stands at 4%, lagging behind Somany Ceramics, Asian Granito India, and Kajaria Ceramics, though remaining above Orient Bell.
- With a PAT Margin of 4%, Varmora Granito ranks second in profitability among its peers, trailing only Kajaria Ceramics’ 10%, while outperforming Somany Ceramics.
Risk Analysis
- High geographic concentration: 100% of the company’s internal and outsourced capacity still sits in Morbi currently, as the Assam facility began operation very recently in Jul 2026.
- Energy cost vulnerability: Power and fuel cost ₹329 Cr in FY26. Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East are directly threatening natural gas and propane pricing.
- Export market instability: Overseas sales account for ~21% of product revenue. Global shipping shortages and trade tariffs pose an immediate threat.
