Castrol India (ISIN INE172A01027) was last at INR 200.20 on the NSE on October 6, 2026, after second-quarter revenue rose 25 percent to INR 1,871.47 crore. The company also launched its first Ujjwal Kal skilling center in Kolkata on October 1, 2026, extending an established community program beyond its lubricant business.

Q2 revenue reaches INR 1,871.47 crore

According to Moneycontrol, Castrol India's standalone June 2026 sales reached INR 1,871.47 crore, up 25.03 percent year over year. Net income was INR 347.70 crore for Q2 2026, while earnings per share stood at INR 3.51.

The figures put operating performance at the center of the stock story. The latest quarter delivered a larger profit increase than the revenue increase, giving investors a concrete margin and cost-control checkpoint as the company enters the second half of 2026.

Dividend and cost pressure shape the outlook

The Economic Times lists Castrol India's August 4, 2026 board decision to approve an interim dividend of INR 6.25 per equity share. The same exchange update stream records the June 30, 2026 half-year results and the October 1, 2026 press release.

Management's operating framework remains important for the next result. Tickertape reports that the company reiterated an EBITDA margin target of 21 percent to 24 percent and expects cost pressure to carry into Q3, with pricing action available if raw material or foreign-exchange costs worsen.

Target stands above the October price

Analyst coverage provides a separate valuation marker. Moneycontrol lists Motilal Oswal's August 6, 2026 Buy view with a reco price of INR 191.65 and a target price of INR 230. The target lies 14.9 percent above the INR 200.20 price on October 6, 2026.

That comparison is distinct from a consensus forecast: Moneycontrol shows no published consensus rating for Castrol India. The immediate investor test is therefore whether the Q2 growth rate and the 21 percent to 24 percent margin framework remain intact while input costs stay elevated.

Castrol India stock stays near its yearly high
