What the record says.
Gujarat Fluorochemicals delivered a resilient Q4 FY26 with chemicals revenue of ₹1,358 crore (+11% YoY), EBITDA of ₹353 crore (+13% YoY), and PAT of ₹169 crore (+5% YoY). Growth was led by fluoropolymers and the commencement of R32 production in March 2026. The company announced a ₹3,150 crore capex for FY27, with ₹2,300 crore for battery materials and ₹850 crore for chemicals, including expansions in refrigerants, electronic specialty chemicals, and fluoropolymers. Battery materials business is at an inflection point with all phase-one capacities commissioned and contracted, targeting 2x asset turns and 25%+ EBITDA margins by FY29. Risks include geopolitical volatility impacting input costs and logistics, and the gestation period for battery material qualification and ramp-up.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management guided 15-20% volume growth in fluoropolymer products for FY27, driven by semiconductor and clean energy demand.
- R32 capacity will be ramped up to 20,000 tons by the second half of FY27; 10,000 tons already operational.
- Battery materials revenue expected to reach a high three-digit crore number by Q4 FY27, with significant QoQ growth.
- Management reiterated target of 25%+ EBITDA margins for battery materials by FY29, with 2x asset turns.
Risks flagged
- Heightened geopolitical tensions and volatile energy prices have increased input and logistics costs, impacting margins.
- Cathode active material final qualification is expected only by Q3 FY27, delaying commercial revenue; any slippage could impact guidance.
- Inventory days have increased due to longer transit times and safety stock requirements, pressuring working capital.
- Management declined to clarify whether contracts are take-or-pay, raising uncertainty about revenue visibility.
