Ashapura Minechem reported Q4 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹1,969 crore, up 105% QoQ, and EBITDA of ₹211 crore (vs ₹143 crore in Q3). Full-year revenue grew 91% YoY to ₹5,237 crore, with EBITDA at ₹674 crore. The Guinea bauxite segment drove performance, exporting 8 million tons in FY26 vs 3.5 million tons prior year. However, EBITDA margins compressed sharply due to rising fuel, freight, and input costs, with Q4 EBITDA/ton falling to $5.9. Management expects Q1 FY27 margins to remain similar to Q4 before improving post-Guinea's quota system implementation. India business faced cost headwinds but remains stable. Key risk: further freight volatility or delayed quota system could prolong margin pressure.
अशापुरा माइनकेम ने चौथी तिमाही (Q4) में ₹1,969 करोड़ की कमाई की, जो पिछली तिमाही से 105% ज़्यादा है। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) ₹211 करोड़ रहा, जो पिछली तिमाही के ₹143 करोड़ से बढ़ा। पूरे साल की कमाई ₹5,237 करोड़ हुई, जो पिछले साल से 91% अधिक है। गिनी से बॉक्साइट (एल्यूमीनियम बनाने का कच्चा माल) का निर्यात बढ़कर 8 मिलियन टन हो गया, जो पिछले साल 3.5 मिलियन टन था। लेकिन ईंधन, भाड़ा और दूसरी लागत बढ़ने से मुनाफे की दर (EBITDA मार्जिन) घट गई। अगली तिमाही में भी यही स्थिति रह सकती है, लेकिन गिनी में कोटा सिस्टम लागू होने के बाद सुधार की उम्मीद है। भारत का कारोबार स्थिर है। मुख्य जोखिम: भाड़ा बढ़ने या कोटा सिस्टम में देरी से मुनाफा कम रह सकता है।
