GSFC Q1 Revenue Surges 64% YoY to ₹3,583 Cr; Input Cost Spikes Pressure Margins
GSFC reported a 64% YoY growth in consolidated Q1 revenue to ₹3,583 Cr, driven by an 82% rise in fertilizer sales to ₹2,947 Cr (volumes up 17% to 5.26 lakh MT). Net profit grew 14% YoY and 204% QoQ to ₹159 Cr. However, fertilizer EBIT margins compressed from 8.49% to 4.09% due to severe input cost inflation (Sulphur up 231%, Ammonia up 144%). The Industrial Products division offset pressure with an EBIT expansion of over 4x to ₹116 Cr.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedRelease of the full transcript for the Q1 earnings conference call conducted on August 13, 2026.
Why it mattersGives clarity on underlying segment margins, raw material cost pressures, subsidy realization status (~₹500 Cr pending), and ongoing capex initiatives at Sikka.
Q1 Revenue: ₹3,583 CrQ1 PAT: ₹159 CrFertilizer Sales Volume: 5.26 lakh MTIndustrial Products EBIT: ₹116 CrOutstanding Subsidy: around ₹500 Cr
📅 Short termVolume uptake ahead of the rabi season remains supportive, but elevated Sulphur and P2O5 prices pose near-term margin headwinds.
📈 Long termLong-term prospects depend on completing backward integration capex (Sikka Phosphoric/Sulphuric Acid and APS expansions) to reduce raw material import sensitivity.
⚠ Risk flags
- Severe raw material cost inflation (Sulphur >$1,000/MT, P2O5 >$1,700/MT)
- Fertilizer margin compression under fixed subsidy ceilings
- Geopolitical disruptions impacting global chemical feedstock supply
Key Highlights
Q1 consolidated revenue rose 64% YoY to ₹3,583 Cr, with fertilizer sales reaching ₹2,947 Cr (+82% YoY).
Consolidated PAT increased 14% YoY (and 204% QoQ) to ₹159 Cr.
Fertilizer EBIT margin narrowed from 8.49% to 4.09% following sharp YoY hikes in Sulphur (+231%) and Ammonia (+144%).
Industrial Products segment EBIT surged over 4-fold to ₹116 Cr on sales of ₹635 Cr (+15% YoY).
Subsidy receivables remained manageable with around ₹500 Cr outstanding and payments cleared up to late July 2026.
👀 What to Watch
Monitor international raw material price trends (Sulphur, P2O5) and the government's subsidy revision packages to assess margin trends in upcoming quarters.
GSFC Q1 Results: 15% PAT Growth to ₹161 Cr; Record Q1 Revenue of ₹3,581 Cr
GSFC reported its highest-ever Q1 revenue of ₹3,581 Cr, a 65% YoY increase, primarily driven by an 82% surge in fertilizer sales value. While fertilizer volumes grew 17% to 5.26 LMT, segment EBIT margins contracted from 8.49% to 4.09% due to massive spikes in raw material costs, including Sulphur (up 231%) and Ammonia (up 144%). The industrial segment provided a significant cushion, with EBIT rising to ₹116 Cr from ₹25 Cr YoY, aided by a 51% improvement in the Capro-Benzene spread to $816/MT. Overall PAT grew 15% YoY to ₹161 Cr.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedGSFC achieved record-high Q1 sales despite extreme raw material inflation, shifting its profit mix heavily toward the industrial segment due to improved Caprolactam spreads.
Why it mattersThe results demonstrate the company's ability to maintain volume growth (17% in fertilizers) and leverage its industrial segment to offset margin compression in the regulated fertilizer business.
Q1 Revenue: ₹3,581 CrQ1 PAT: ₹161 CrRevenue vs TTM Revenue: 32.7%Capro-Benzene Spread: $816/MTSulphur Price Increase (YoY): 231%Fertilizer EBIT Margin: 4.09%
📅 Short termThe stock may react positively to the record top-line and the sharp recovery in the industrial segment's profitability, despite the margin pressure in fertilizers.
📈 Long termStructural growth is tied to the commissioning of the PA/SA project in Q4 FY27, which will enhance backward integration and reduce dependency on volatile imported raw materials.
⚠ Risk flags

GSFC reported a robust top-line performance for Q1 FY27, with consolidated revenue growing 64% YoY to ₹3,583.15 Cr, driven by a massive 82% surge in fertilizer segment revenue. Consolidated net profit increased 14.4% YoY to ₹158.54 Cr, representing a significant recovery from the ₹52.14 Cr reported in the preceding quarter (Q4 FY26). While fertilizer margins faced slight pressure, the industrial products segment saw a sharp turnaround, with segment PBIT rising 369% YoY to ₹115.93 Cr. The company's total comprehensive income was further boosted to ₹780.90 Cr due to a ₹726.65 Cr gain in the fair value of its investment portfolio.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedGSFC has transitioned from a weak Q4 FY26 to a strong Q1 FY27, characterized by high volume growth in fertilizers and a recovery in industrial product profitability.
Why it mattersThe results demonstrate GSFC's ability to scale revenue despite regulated pricing in fertilizers, while the industrial segment (Caprolactam/Melamine) provides the necessary margin cushion when fertilizer subsidies are volatile.

GSFC to Reduce Stake in Subsidiary GPLCL from 60% to 11% Following Govt Approval
GSFC has received approval from the Government of Gujarat to revise the shareholding pattern of its subsidiary, Gujarat Port & Logistics Company Limited (GPLCL). The company's stake will decrease from 60% to 11% as the total capital of GPLCL expands from Rs. 2 crore to Rs. 25 crore. Other state entities, including the Gujarat Maritime Board and GIDC, will take significant stakes, effectively ending GPLCL's status as a GSFC subsidiary. As GPLCL is currently non-operational with zero turnover, this move has no immediate impact on GSFC's consolidated revenue.
Key Highlights
GSFC's equity stake in GPLCL to be diluted from 60% to 11% despite a small increase in absolute investment to Rs. 2.75 crore.
Total capital base of GPLCL to be expanded significantly from Rs. 2 crore to Rs. 25 crore.
Gujarat Maritime Board will become the majority shareholder with a 52% stake, up from 40%.
New state-backed investors GIDC and G-RIDE will join the venture with 26% and 11% stakes respectively.
GPLCL is a pre-revenue entity with zero turnover reported for the financial year ending March 31, 2026.
👀 What to Watch
Investors should view this as a strategic restructuring that reduces GSFC's capital exposure to a non-core, pre-revenue port project. No immediate action is required as the financial impact on current earnings is negligible.

GSFC reported a 15% YoY growth in annual revenue to ₹10,827 crore for FY 25-26, driven by a 12% volume growth in the fertilizer segment. While annual PAT increased by 14% to ₹652 crore, Q4 profitability faced significant pressure, with PAT dropping to ₹34 crore from ₹58 crore YoY due to high raw material costs and global geopolitical volatility.
