Revenue guidance

Category 2
  • GSFC targets a 20% volume growth in fertilizers for FY '25 driven by increased production capacity at Sikka and the ammonium sulphate plant commissioned in January '24.
  • Revenue for FY '25 is expected to exceed INR 10,000 crores with higher volumes and improved margins.
  • FY '26 revenue and profits are expected to be higher than FY '25, owing to the full-year impact of ongoing capex projects.
  • Expansion plans include increasing DAP and NPK capacity and captive production of phosphoric and sulfuric acid to reduce imports.
  • Capex of over INR 6,000 crores over 5 years will further boost production capacity and revenue.
  • Industrial products segment margins under pressure but new niche products like HX crystal are expected to enhance value addition and substitution of imports.
  • Enhanced power cost efficiencies from captive renewable energy will also support margin improvement.
  • Overall, management expects sustainable top-line and bottom-line growth over the medium term.
