Grey market premium (GMP)
The GMP for Varmora Granito is currently ₹0, so the grey market expects a listing of about ₹148, flat to the upper price band. A flat GMP means the grey market isn't pricing in any listing-day pop. Investors applying now are betting on the business rather than a quick flip.
About the company
Varmora Granito is among the top four players in the Indian tiles market. It focuses on premium products, especially glazed vitrified tiles (GVT). Key points:
- Over 3,500 SKUs across GVT, polished vitrified tiles (PVT) and ceramic tiles.
- Manufacturing base in Morbi, Gujarat, India's largest tile-making cluster.
- An innovator in the category. It was an early mover in digitally printed wall tiles and integrated stone technology.
- A wide distribution network across India, with a push into Tier-II and Tier-III cities, plus export markets.
- The second fastest-growing company among its listed tile peers by revenue CAGR.
The industry tailwind is real. The Indian tiles market is projected to reach ₹765.2 billion (about ₹76,500 crore) by FY2030.
Financial highlights
- Gross margin is rising. It improved from 35.26% in FY2024 to 37.92% in FY2026, which suggests the premium product mix is working.
- Profit is falling. Profit after tax declined 24.24% in FY2026, even though revenue kept growing.
- Debt is manageable. The equity base is healthy, but net debt and moderate profit margins leave room to improve.
Strengths
- Scale and brand. It is a top-four player in a fragmented market.
- A premium focus. GVT is the fastest-growing, higher-margin part of the tile market.
- Innovation. It has a track record of launching new product formats early.
- Margin expansion. Gross margin rose by about 266 basis points in two years.
Risks to watch
- Geographic concentration. Operations depend heavily on the Morbi region, so any local disruption to power, gas supply or labour hits the whole business.
- Product concentration. A large share of revenue comes from GVT, which leaves it exposed to swings in demand.
- Falling profits. PAT fell 24.24% in FY2026, so growth isn't yet reaching the bottom line.
- Export exposure. Geopolitical tensions could hurt export revenue.
- Supplier dependence. A large share of purchases comes from its top ten suppliers.
- Regulatory changes. The new Labour Codes and tax reforms could raise costs.
- Contingent liabilities of ₹115.35 million (about ₹11.5 crore).

Our take
Varmora Granito is a genuine market leader with a strong brand, a premium product mix and improving gross margins. The problem is the 24% drop in profit in FY2026, along with a flat GMP. Together they suggest the market sees the issue as fully priced. It suits investors who want long-term exposure to India's housing and real-estate cycle more than those hoping for listing gains.
