Q4FY25: Key Businesses, Strategic Geography Mix Boost Growth, Profit
The strong momentum of the first nine months continued in Q4 FY25 despite significant disruptions in the global trading environment caused by the unpredictable imposition and suspension of tariffs since January 2025. The inconsistent tariff environment unsettled market confidence and created uncertainty.
Total sales volume reached 165,147 MT in Q4 FY25, reflecting a 4.6% YoY and 5.2% QoQ growth. The volume mix comprised 76.8% from packaging films and 23.2% from packaging, underscoring sustained demand across both segments. Revenue for the quarter rose to Rs. 38,738 million, a 10.8% increase YoY from Rs. 34,967 million in Q4 FY24. The growth was primarily driven by increased volume, the right product mix and pricing strategies across product categories. Normalized EBITDA stood at Rs. 4,782 million, up 5.1% YoY compared to Rs. 4,550 million in

the corresponding period last year. The normalized EBITDA margin was at 12.3%. Normalized Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter was Rs. 986 million, compared to Rs. 1,188 million in Q4 FY24. Normalized Profit After Tax (PAT) in Q4 FY25 included an adjustment of approximately Rs. 700 million due to currency translation gains during the quarter, in contrast to the currency translation loss of Rs. 3,897 million in Q4 FY24.
In fiscal year FY25, our consolidated sales volume grew by 8.0% YoY to 647,499 MT, up from 599,616 MT in FY24. The sales volume consisted of 77.7% packaging films and 22.3% packaging business in FY25. Total revenues increased by 12.4% YoY to Rs. 151,838 million, up from Rs. 135,098 million in FY24. Normalized EBITDA increased by 18.1% YoY basis to Rs. 19,024 million compared to Rs. 16,103 million in FY24. Normalized EBITDA margin expanded by 60 bps YoY to 12.5% from 11.9% in FY24. Normalized profit after tax was up by 77.5% YoY to Rs. 3,201 million compared to Rs. 1,803 million in FY24. Normalized Profit After Tax (PAT) for FY25 includes an adjustment of approximately Rs. 1,778 million on account of currency translation losses in comparison to the currency translation loss of Rs. 8,713 million in FY24.
India remained the largest contributor with a 46.1% share, followed by the Americas at 18.4%, Europe at 17.4%, and the Middle East & Africa at 15.5%. The remaining 1.7% came from other regions, reflecting a well-diversified global revenue base.
In Q4 FY25, inflation in India continued to be moderate. By March 2025, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as reported by MOSPI, GOI, stood at 3.34%, while the Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) declined to 2.69%. This easing trend continued into April 2025 with the CPI falling to 3.16% and the CFPI to 1.78%. Both reached their lowest levels in 14 months, reflecting a significant decline from the peaks of 6.21% and 10.87% recorded in October 2024. We anticipate that this favorable trend in the price index will support improved volume growth and profitability in our packaging films and packaging business in FY26..
Packaging Business: Flexible Packaging, Aseptic Liquid Packaging, and Holography
Packaging business segment — comprising of Flexible Packaging, Aseptic Liquid Packaging, and Holography— witnessed 14.4% YoY and 16.3% QoQ revenue growth in Q4FY25, reflecting better realization, right customer mix and addition of new brands with the existing customers. The Packaging business revenue grew by 11.4% YoY in FY 25.
Over the past four quarters, the Indian FMCG sector has experienced muted urban growth, largely driven by elevated food inflation and rising living costs. In contrast, rural markets have consistently outperformed urban demand during this period. Rural demand momentum is expected to continue getting support from favorable monsoon forecasts for FY26; whereas urban demand, crucial for overall sector performance, is expected to stabilize, backed by premiumization, the right product mix, easing retail/ food inflation and tax reliefs announced in FY25 budget.
Consolidated Packaging Films Business
Across geographies, overall consolidated packaging films production volume grew by 3.3% YoY to 127,778 MT in Q4 FY25, compared to 123,714 MT in Q4 FY24.

resource optimization and improved plant efficiency. The annual sales volume of packaging films grew by 10.3% YoY, reaching 503,153 MT in FY25, compared to 456,179 MT in FY24.
India Packaging Film: Growth Accelerates on Demand Tailwind
The business outlook for packaging films in India remained upbeat in Q4 FY25, supported by steady demand across key end-user industries, improved operating efficiencies, and sustained consumption growth. Favorable demographics, evolving consumer preferences, rising demand for branded packaged food and beverage, growing urbanization and higher disposable incomes will continue to maintain high single-digit consumption growth in India.
UFlex India's packaging film capacity utilisation increased by 140 basis points to 73.8% in Q4 FY25, up from 72.4% in Q4 FY24. This improvement in utilisation contributed to a 7.9% rise in production volume to 30,279 in Q4 FY25 compared to 28,053 in Q4 FY24, reflecting increased operational performance and a positive business outlook. Sales volume followed a similar pattern, increased by 17.2% YoY, driven by strong demand in across key segments and markets.
For the full year FY25, UFlex India's packaging film segment delivered a steady performance, with production volume rising by 5.8% YoY to 121,842 MT, compared to 115,202 MT in FY24.

Americas Region (USA & Mexico): Growth on Track at the Epicenter of Tariff Uncertainty
Tariff-related uncertainties in the Americas have compelled businesses and consumers to adopt a more cautious approach to spending and investment decisions. The unpredictability around trade, intermittent tariff implementations, and shifting import-export regulations have created a challenging environment for business planning. This has not only impacted spending for businesses but also affected consumer sentiment, leading to cautious discretionary spending.
Nevertheless, UFlex’s packaging films capacity utilization rose by 710 basis points to 97.8% in Q4 FY25, up from 90.6% in Q4 FY24 in Americas region. The increased utilization resulted in 7.8% YoY growth in production volume to 21,995 MT, compared to 20,396 MT in Q4 FY24, demonstrating strategic focus to enhance operational efficiency. Sales volume in the region also grew by 7.6% YoY. This performance highlights the inherent strength and adaptability of the company’s business model in the Americas, reaffirming its ability to navigate and succeed amid global uncertainties.
In FY25, the capacity utilization in the Americas region increased by 380 basis points to 97.5%, up from 93.7% in FY24. The higher utilization contributed to a 5.8% growth in production volume, reaching 89,230 MT in FY25 compared to 84,316 MT in FY24. The Americas region’s annual sales volume also demonstrated strong growth, increasing by 19.0% during the financial year FY25.

to 65% in FY24. Sales volume in the region rose by 22.9% YoY. Hungary led with a 26% increase in sales volume, while the CIS region, boosted by the commissioning of a new CPP line in Q1 FY25, posted a strong 42.4% growth. This robust operational and sales performance translated into a 26.0% YoY revenue increase in FY25, reflecting sustained demand for packaging films and a positive contribution to overall business growth.
MEA (Dubai, Egypt, Nigeria) Region: Remained Resilient in the Midst of Challenges
In Q4 FY25, the capacity utilization of UFlex in its packaging film plants in the MEA (Middle East and Africa) region remained almost constant at 83.3%, compared to 84.0% in Q4 FY24. Production volume stood at 41,438 MT, marginally lower than 41,812 MT in the same quarter last year. A key highlight was the strong performance of the Nigeria BOPET line, where capacity utilization rose to 82.5% in Q4 FY25 from 67.2% in Q4 FY24, driving a notable increase in production volume to 9,277 MT from 7,558 MT year-on-year. The Q4 FY25 sales volume declined by 9.7% YoY, primarily due to subdued demand and increased import inflows from other geographies.
In FY25, the capacity utilization in the region witnessed a rise of 750 basis points to 84.8%, up from 77.3% in FY24. Production volume increased by 9.8% to 168,743 MT, compared to 153,743 MT in the previous year. This better annual performance was primarily driven by the Nigeria facility, which achieved 78.5% utilization and produced 35,337 MT in FY25, up from 58.8% utilization and 26,444 MT in FY24. We expect further improvement in utilization and sales volume in FY26.
Exceptional items
UFlex operates across nine countries, conducting most of its business in local currencies. However, as the company reports its financials in Indian Rupees (INR), currency translation adjustments arise. When local transaction currencies depreciate against the reporting currency (INR), it results in accounting forex losses. These losses are largely non-cash in nature and do not materially impact the company’s operational performance, underlying financial health, or cash flows.
Exceptional items represent exchange (Gain) / Loss recorded at the following subsidiaries due to movement in exchange rates, during the reported periods:
| Rs. Million | Quarter ended Mar. 2025 |

| Total Exceptional (gain)/ loss | (700) | (257) | 3,897 |
Capital Expenditure: Investing in tomorrow
During the quarter, the company incurred total capital expenditure of Rs. 6,681 million. This was primarily allocated to three key projects: approximately USD 34 million (Rs. 2,903 million) towards the aseptic packaging facility in Egypt, around USD 37 million (INR 3,186 million) for the WPP bag manufacturing unit in Mexico, and about Rs. 140 million for debottlenecking at the Asepto facility in Sanand, India. The balance was directed towards other announced and routine capital expenditure across various units. (Exchange rate: USD 1 = INR 86.55, Q4 FY25).

Mexico: WPP plant with an annual production capacity of 80 million bags
To meet the growing demand for pet food packaging, UFlex is setting up a woven polypropylene (WPP) bags manufacturing unit in Mexico. The project has a planned capital outlay of approximately USD 50 million, of which Rs. 3,186 million (USD 37 million) has been incurred as of March 2025.
Egypt: Aseptic Liquid Packaging Facility with 12 billion Carton Packs Annual Capacity
Since the project announcement, approximately USD 52 million (~Rs. 4,512 million) of the total estimated capex of USD 126 million (~Rs. 10,905 million) has been spent. The remaining USD 74 million (~Rs. 6,405 million) will be invested leading up to the plant’s commercial commissioning in FY26.
Sanand: Aseptic Liquid Packaging expansion project to increase capacity by 70%
The debottlenecking project in the Aseptic Liquid Packaging plant at Sanand aims to increase annual capacity by 5 billion carton packs, taking the total capacity to 12 billion packs. The estimated capital expenditure for the project is USD 24 million (Rs. 2,026 million). To date, USD 22 million (Rs. 1,871 million) has already been incurred and management expects commercial commissioning of the plant in Q1 FY26.
India: PET, MLP recycling unit with an annual capacity of 39,600 MT
With increasing emphasis on sustainability and supportive legislation, UFlex plans to set up two recycling plants at a new facility in Noida to process 39,600 MTPA PCR PET bottle and mixed plastic (MLP) waste in India. The PCR PET recycling plant will have a processing capacity of 36,000 MTPA and the MLP plant will have a processing capacity of 3,600 MTPA.
Commenting on the results, Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi, Chairman and Managing Director, UFlex Group, said, “FY25 was a landmark year for UFlex, marked by strategic global expansion and a greater push toward sustainable solutions and recycling. In FY25, we delivered strong revenue growth of 12.4% and operational EBITDA growth of 18.1%.
With a strong international presence in packaging films, delivering speed-to-market, quality controls, supply chain resilience, and reduced carbon footprint, we are expanding our aseptic packaging footprint with a new high-tech plant coming up in Egypt, establishing a WPP bags facility in Mexico to cater to the pet food markets across North and South America, and expanding our recycling infrastructure in India with an investment of INR 3,171 million.
These developments, alongside our newly commissioned CPP film production line in Mexico with barrier metallisation, are key steps in building a future-ready manufacturing powerhouse geared to meet evolving customer and regulatory demands across global markets.
In aseptic packaging, in addition to the mechanical completion of the debottlenecking project in Sanand, Gujarat, India, we achieved a significant technological milestone by commissioning the production of high-speed filling machines with a capacity of 25,000 packs per hour, making UFlex the second company in the world to offer this revolutionary speed. In our engineering business, our journey toward digital transformation will intensify in FY26. We will deepen the integration of AI and predictive analytics into our machines, making them smarter, more autonomous, and capable of real-time performance optimization.

We foresee a strong FY26 fueled by an increased demand for sustainable packaging films, flexible packaging solutions, and advancements in film technologies. Key trends include the rise of bioplastics, growth in emerging markets, and the adoption of innovative packaging solutions like metallized barrier films.
UFlex has always been a pioneer in recycling, and we are the first company in the world to develop the capability to recycle multi-layer mixed plastic (MLP) waste with inks, adhesives, and metallised layer, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE). One of UFlex’s most significant contributions to sustainable packaging in FY25 is its “single-pallet solution”—a breakthrough in seamlessly integrating recycled PET resins (rPET) into the food packaging supply chain. This innovation combines 30% or more rPET with virgin PET to produce packaging materials that meet food-grade standards and ensure superior mechanical properties, including enhanced clarity, strength, and reduced acetaldehyde content”.
Mr. Rajesh Bhatia, Group president and CFO, UFlex Limited, said , “UFlex’s Q4 FY25 performance underscores our steady YoY momentum, with sales volume up 4.6%, revenue grew 10.8%, and normalised EBITDA rose 5.1%. For the full fiscal year, revenue grew 12.4% and normalised EBITDA saw a robust 18.1% growth, accompanied by a 60 basis points improvement in EBITDA margin. In FY25, the packaging films production and sales volume gained significantly by 10.4% and 10.3%, respectively.
We delivered consistent improvement in performance across all quarters in FY25 and are well on track for a robust recovery in the global packaging films sector, both in volume and value. Our total global packaging films capacity now stands at 636,160 MTPA.
Looking ahead, our 12-billion-pack greenfield aseptic packaging plant in Egypt and the 80-million-unit annual capacity WPP (woven polypropylene) bags plant in Mexico are expected to become operational in FY26. These projects are poised to open new cash flow streams and significantly boost topline growth, enhanced margins, and ROCE, which will contribute to shareholder value creation from FY27 onwards.
At the core of our business strategy lies a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. We aim to keep plastic within the economic loop and out of the natural environment. To this end, we are investing ~ Rs. 3,171 million (~USD 37 million at an exchange rate of Rs. 86.55 per USD) in advanced recycling technologies. This will expand our PCR PET chip capacity from 43,020 MTPA to 79,020 MTPA and PCR MLP capacity from 31,297 MTPA to 34,897 MTPA.
With a fully operational recycling infrastructure, UFlex is well-positioned to meet growing demand for recycled packaging solutions across the value chain, from rPET chips, rMLP/rAMLP granules to rPET films, rPouches, and rTubes. This will reinforce our leadership in circular economy practices and support long-term value creation."
Recycling & Sustainability: Keeping plastic where it belongs – In the Economy
UFlex remains committed to fostering a circular economy and supports a sustainable, green planet. This is reflected in Company noteworthy progress in plastic recycling, where Company has successfully recycled over 800 million plastic PET bottles and 8200 metric tons of MLP waste in FY25.
The increasing focus on sustainability coupled with regulatory interventions is set to propel global growth in the PCR PET market. With fully operational recycling infrastructure, UFlex is well-poised to meet the demand for recycled packaging materials. UFlex’s commitment to sustainability, combined with its capability to provide reliable, end-to-end recycling solutions, places it as a preferred producer of recycled plastic films in India and global markets.
