Regency Ceramics is a ceramic-tile maker that is staging a comeback after more than a decade in the dark. The company’s own factory in Yanam was destroyed in a violent labour attack in 2012, and it has spent the years since settling with workers, clearing lender dues, and collecting an insurance award - all to clear the ground for a single-minded return to selling tiles. Its revival playbook is a dual-track one: refurbish the original plant while immediately serving customers through exclusive manufacturing deals with third-party factories, so the brand can earn revenue before its own chimneys are lit again. # Business segments A single engine being rebuilt on two parallel tracks - a legacy factory under refurbishment and a live outsourced-manufacturing arrangement - both feeding the same tile brand and dealer network. ## 1. Ceramic tiles: a legacy brand restarted through other people’s factories **The company sells floor and wall tiles under the ‘REGENCY’ name right now by contracting production to a third-party plant, while its own damaged factory is being pieced back together.** - **Made in someone else’s facility** - Regency has an exclusive manufacturing arrangement with a plant in Andhra Pradesh that makes glazed vitrified tiles (the hard, glass-coated tiles used in modern homes), and production under this deal had begun by early 2026. - **A factory being rebuilt line by line** - the company’s own plant at Yanam, Puducherry, has been idle since the 2012 lock-out, and management is now refurbishing it with a plan to start the first of four manufacturing lines at 7,000 square metres a day, eventually reaching 25,000 square metres daily. - **Sold through a dealer network in five states** - the brand reaches customers via dealers across India, with its strongest recall in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, and Orissa, where it claims legacy goodwill. - **A product range built for floors and walls** - the catalogue spans glazed vitrified tiles, full-body vitrified tiles, polished vitrified tiles, double-charged tiles, wall tiles, exterior tiles, steps, risers, parking tiles, and heavy-duty tiles for high-traffic areas. - **A contract win that signals market re-entry** - in December 2025, the company won a Rs. 26,65,97,079 order from GG PROBUILD INDIA LIMITED to supply floor tiles and associated materials over roughly six months, a concrete sign that customers are buying the relaunched range. # Group structure and partners **Regency Ceramics stands alone - no subsidiaries, no joint ventures - and leans on a single third-party manufacturer to make its tiles while it fixes its own plant.** - **A standalone company with no group entities** - the company has no subsidiaries, joint ventures, or associate companies, so all operations run directly through Regency Ceramics Limited. - **One critical manufacturing partner** - the exclusive manufacturing arrangement is with Segno Ceramics Private Limited, an unrelated tile maker whose facility in Vemavaram, Andhra Pradesh, can produce 10,000 square metres of polished and unpolished glazed vitrified tiles per day. - **A proposed acquisition to bring production in-house** - in September 2024, Regency announced plans to buy 100% of Segno Ceramics for cash, a move designed to address immediate production needs and lock in manufacturing capacity, though due diligence was still underway at the time. - **Promoter-funded through the lean years** - the company has been kept afloat by its promoters, with outstanding unsecured loans from directors amounting to over Rs. 70 crore as of March 2025, all of it interest-free and repayable on demand.
