The results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 34 on interim financial reporting and reviewed by auditors B S R & Co.

The auditors issued limited review reports stating that "nothing has come to our attention" suggesting material misstatements in the financial results.
Subsidiary Capital Raise
During the quarter ended 30 June 2026, Aditya Birla Capital Limited (ABCL), a subsidiary of Grasim, raised equity capital of ₹4,000 crore through a preferential allotment "to strengthen the capital base and meet the requirement of its next phase of growth" (FIN SUPP filing, 2026-08-12).
Grasim invested ₹2,880 crore in ABCL and was allotted shares on 23 June 2026. Following this transaction, the company's shareholding in ABCL stands at 52.30% on a fully diluted basis (FIN SUPP filing, 2026-08-12).

The transaction is based on an enterprise value of ₹17,200 crore, subject to adjustments specified in the agreement.

The filing disclosed exceptional items recognized in the previous financial year. During the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026, Grasim recognized a ₹47.86 crore charge for impairment of plant and equipment at its Chemical Vilayat facility, "arising from persistent equipment failures and corrosion issues that ultimately led to the shutdown of the equipment" (FIN SUPP filing, 2026-08-12).
