Strong growth driven by higher NPK demand, improved operational efficiency, and capacity expansion; company posts Rs 21,826 crore revenue and strengthens backward integration and sustainability performance
Paradeep Phosphates Limited, one of India’s leading fertilizer manufacturers, announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2026, reporting strong growth across revenue, profitability, and operations.
For FY26, revenue from operations increased 29 percent year-on-year to Rs 21,826 crore, while EBITDA rose 33 percent to Rs 2,259 crore. Profit before tax increased 46 percent to Rs 1,328 crore, and net profit surged 52 percent to Rs 1,000 crore, reflecting robust performance despite global volatility in raw material prices and currency fluctuations.
Operationally, production volumes grew 8 percent to 36.66 LMT, while sales volumes increased 10 percent to 42.10 LMT, driven by strong demand for value-added NPK fertilizers. The NPK segment (including TSP) recorded 22 percent growth to 24.64 LMT.
For Q4 FY26, the company reported revenue of Rs 4,702 crore, EBITDA of Rs 484 crore, profit before tax of Rs 202 crore, and net profit of Rs 161 crore, maintaining steady quarterly momentum.
Managing Director and CEO N. Suresh Krishnan stated that the performance reflects strong integrated operations, near full capacity utilization, and improved supply chain efficiency. He added that fertilizer production reached 3.67 MMTPA during the year.
The company also strengthened backward integration with new sulphuric acid capacities at Paradeep and Mangalore, increasing total capacity by 45 percent. Its phosphoric acid expansion from 0.5 MMTPA to 1 MMTPA is underway, with Phase 1 expected in FY27.
With a distribution network across 18 states, Paradeep Phosphates continues to focus on digital-led last-mile efficiency and balanced fertilization solutions. The company also retained an AA- (stable) credit rating.
On sustainability, it achieved an S&P Global ESG score of 76, ranking in the top 2 percentile globally in the chemical sector. Looking ahead, the company remains focused on operational excellence, product innovation, and disciplined execution to drive long-term shareholder value.
