GP Petroleums Q3 Revenue Up 24.5% YoY; To Acquire Savli Bitumen Plant for ₹14.75 Cr

🟡 NEUTRAL ⭐ 8/10

EARNINGS 📅 14 Feb 2026, 02:29 PM

GP Petroleums reported a strong 24.5% YoY growth in revenue to ₹169.23 crore for Q3 FY26, though Net Profit (PAT) declined by 21.5% to ₹5.24 crore. The profit was significantly impacted by a one-time exceptional expense of ₹1.95 crore related to new government labor code liabilities. In a strategic move, the company approved the direct acquisition of a specialty bitumen plant in Savli, Gujarat, for ₹14.75 crore from a related party. This acquisition replaces a previously planned joint venture, allowing the company full control over niche production of value-added bitumen products.

Revenue from operations increased to ₹169.23 crore in Q3 FY26 compared to ₹135.88 crore in Q3 FY25.
Net Profit (PAT) fell to ₹5.24 crore from ₹6.67 crore YoY, primarily due to higher expenses and exceptional items.
Board approved the standalone acquisition of the Savli specialty bitumen plant for a consideration not exceeding ₹14.75 crore.
Recognized an exceptional item of ₹194.82 lakhs for incremental gratuity and leave encashment liabilities under new Labour Codes.
The acquisition from related party New Horizons Asphalt Private Limited is based on an independent valuation and audit committee recommendation.

💡 Investors should watch for the margin impact of the new Savli plant as it begins contributing to the specialty bitumen segment. While revenue growth is healthy, the pressure on bottom-line profitability due to rising operational costs and one-time provisions warrants a cautious outlook.
