In the aftermath of the tragic incident, the company has slipped into losses in the April-June quarter.

“Q1 FY26 has been an emotionally and operationally challenging quarter for us. The tragic incident led to the loss of lives and injuries among our workforce, and we extend our deepest condolences to all affected,” Sigachi Industries Limited MD & CEO, Amit Raj Sinha, said.

Our immediate focus was on supporting families, ensuring medical care, and cooperating fully with authorities, Sinha said.

The incident disrupted manufacturing operations, damaged plant infrastructure and inventory, and delayed shipments, impacting revenue and margins, he added.

This event has prompted a comprehensive review of the operational controls and risk governance of the company.

“Looking ahead, we are committed to a decisive reset, prioritising safety, accelerating cost improvements, focusing on margin-led portfolios, and rebuilding with global standards, resilience, and transparency,” Sinha stated.
