Segment Performance: The Fertilizer segment achieved record Q1 sales of INR 2,947 crores (82% YoY growth) with sales volume up 17% to 5.26 lakh metric tons. EBIT margin for the segment compressed to 4.09% from 8.49% due to unprecedented inflation in raw material costs. The Industrial Products segment saw sales of INR 635 crores (15% growth) and EBIT of INR 116 crores, a more than fourfold increase, driven by higher caprolactam sales and improved spreads.
Raw Material Inflation (YoY): Sulfur prices increased by 231%, ammonia by 144%, natural gas by 38%, and P2O5 by 30%.
Forward-Looking Statements & Outlook: The revival of monsoon in July improved the demand outlook for the agri input sector ahead of the rabi season. Geopolitical conflicts continue to create uncertainty around raw material availability and pricing. Elevated input costs are expected to influence the industry product mix towards DAP. The caprolactam-benzene spread is expected to remain stable to soft. Melamine demand is expected to improve in domestic and export markets. Export demand for HX crystal is expected to remain consistent.
Capex Plans: The company is executing strategic initiatives including an APS capacity enhancement project and new phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid projects at Sikka. The DAP train conversion for fungible APS/DAP production is on schedule for commissioning within a month or two. The company has acquired significant land in Dahej for a new integrated complex involving both fertilizer and industrial products, with more details to be disclosed after Board approvals and technology tie-ups.
Balance Sheet & Subsidy: The company maintains a strong balance sheet with no long-term debt. The Government of India's (GOI) outstanding support on fertilizer subsidy release has kept working capital at optimum levels; subsidy dues were received up to the third week of July 2026. Approximately INR 500 crores of subsidy was outstanding as of the call, and the company had INR 500 crores in borrowings at the end of June due to strategic inventory procurement.
