Bodal Chemicals reported a sharp decline in consolidated net profit to ₹2.42 million for Q3 FY26, down from ₹59.93 million in the previous quarter, despite a slight revenue growth to ₹4,895.69 million. The company has approved the sale of approximately 40 acres of land at its Unit-12 to buyers who will consume its byproducts, Chlorine and Hydrogen. This strategic move aims to monetize non-core assets and ensure uninterrupted production by securing captive-like consumption for byproducts. While 9-month profits show a significant year-on-year improvement to ₹157.68 million, the current quarterly performance remains under pressure.
