BASF India reported a robust Q4 FY26 with PBT rising to ₹90 crores from ₹25 crores YoY, driven by 12-15% volume growth. For the full year, revenue reached approximately ₹15,539 crores, though pricing pressures limited top-line growth to 1% despite a 6-7% volume increase.

BASF India reported a steady performance for Q3 FY26 with revenue from operations growing 6.6% YoY to ₹3,876.5 crore. Net profit for the quarter saw a marginal increase of 1.5% YoY, reaching ₹105.1 crore. However, the nine-month (9M) performance shows a significant 21.8% decline in PAT to ₹353.3 crore, primarily due to higher base effects and exceptional items in the previous year. Operating margins remained relatively stable on a sequential basis despite a slight dip in revenue compared to Q2 FY26.
Key Highlights
Revenue from operations increased by 6.6% YoY to ₹3,876.5 crore in Q3 FY26.
Net Profit (PAT) for the quarter stood at ₹105.1 crore, up 1.5% from ₹103.6 crore in the same quarter last year.
9M FY26 PAT declined by 21.8% YoY to ₹353.3 crore compared to ₹452.1 crore in 9M FY25.
Total expenses for the quarter rose to ₹3,746.1 crore, driven by higher purchase of stock-in-trade and employee benefit expenses.
Basic EPS for the quarter improved slightly to ₹24.3 from ₹23.9 YoY.
👀 What to Watch
The stock shows stable quarterly growth but investors should monitor the margin pressure reflected in the 9-month cumulative results. Hold for long-term exposure to the specialty chemicals sector, but watch for recovery in the 9M profit trajectory.
