Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GNFC) has posted robust financial results for the fourth quarter ended March 2025, with a 65.4 per cent YoY in net profit at Rs. 210 crore as compared to Rs. 127 crore for the corresponding period last year. The company reported a 65.5 per cent YoY EBITDA growth, to Rs. 240 crore for Q4 FY25 as compared to Rs. 145 crore in Q4 FY24. In the March 2025 quarter, EBITDA margin soared to 11.7 per cent from 6.9 per cent a year ago. Its operating revenue in the quarter stood at Rs. 2,055 crore as against Rs. 2,110 crore in Q4 FY24.
For the Financial Year ended March 31,2025, GNFC has reported PAT of Rs. 585 crore as compared to Rs. 485 crore in FY24. Operating revenue in FY25 reported at Rs. 7,892 crore as compared to Rs. 7,930 crore.
During FY 24-25, RFO is lower as compared to FY 23-24 mainly due to prolonged maintenance shutdown of TDI - Dahej plant resulting into loss of revenue and volume. Revenue is further affected by sales realisation in most of chemical products.
Lower revenue is offset by higher volume in most of the products at Bharuch complex since there was annual planned maintenance shutdown at Bharuch during FY 23-24 resulting into lower volume in most of the products in that period.
Commenting on the results, Dr. T. Natarajan, Managing Director stated that there is a better financial performance on the back of operating performance where PBT improved on Q-o-Q basis by 36% and on Y-o-Y quarter basis by 68 per cent whereas for the full year PBT improved by 21 per cent.
The improved results is attributable to improved volumes and realisations apart from lower feed and fuel prices helping margin improvement. At Dahej complex, the shutdown period impacted the sales volumes.
In case of fertilizers, the positive support of GoI in announcing supportive NBS rates has helped improve the scenario apart from higher volumes.
