GUJARAT STATE FERTILIZERS & CHEMICALS LTD. Q1 FY26 Results

Summary

Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GSFC) has appointed a new Managing Director, Shri Sanjeev Kumar, for a period of five years starting from 1st August, 2025. The company's Q1 FY 25-26 results show steady revenue and improved EBITDA. The fertilizer EBIT rose due to higher trading, strong APS/AS sales, and improved realisations in P&K fertilizers. Urea sales declined due to exclusion of project-linked trial sales and stabilisation issues. The company is advancing its capex plans and has commissioned several projects during Q1 2025-26. The outlook for Q2 FY 2025-26 suggests stable demand and turnover in the Industrial Products segment, but pricing for key products may face headwinds from low-cost Chinese imports.
