GSFC Appoints New Managing Director, Reports Steady Revenue and Improved EBITDA in Q1 FY 25-26

Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GSFC) has appointed Shri Sanjeev Kumar as its new Managing Director for a period of five years starting from 1st August, 2025. The company reported steady revenue in Q1 FY 25-26, with an improvement in EBITDA margin from 8% to 11%. The fertilizer EBIT rose due to higher trading, strong APS/AS sales, and improved realisations in P&K fertilizers. However, urea sales declined due to exclusion of project-linked trial sales and stabilisation issues. The company is advancing its capex plans aligned with its strategic growth roadmap, with several projects in the pipeline. The outlook for the upcoming quarter is favourable for Agri-input demand, but the Indian fertilizer industry may face headwinds due to elevated prices of key raw materials. The company plans to adopt a balanced production and import mix to optimize cost efficiency and maximize overall sales realisation.
