Ganesh Benzoplast reported a mixed Q4 FY26. Consolidated revenue grew 10% YoY to ₹411.4 crore, while PAT surged 93% YoY to ₹73.3 crore, aided by a one-time gain of ₹9 crore from LPG contract termination. However, EBITDA margins were compressed due to a ₹23 crore jump in JNPT lease rentals (30-year reset), which management expects to recover over 15-18 months via customer pass-through and new capacity. The liquid storage business operated at 95% utilization, with a 50,000 KL expansion at JNPT on track for commissioning by December 2026. The chemical division faced exceptional costs (REACH certification, staff settlements) but underlying trends remain healthy. Guidance is cautious: management targets gradual margin recovery and steady 5-6% annual rental revenue growth. Key risk: the Goa terminal remains near-idle, with no signed contracts despite capability upgrades.
गणेश बेंजोप्लास्ट का चौथी तिमाही का नतीजा मिला-जुला रहा। कंपनी की कमाई पिछले साल से 10% बढ़कर ₹411.4 करोड़ हुई, जबकि मुनाफा 93% उछलकर ₹73.3 करोड़ पहुंचा। इसमें LPG कॉन्ट्रैक्ट खत्म होने से ₹9 करोड़ का एकमुश्त फायदा शामिल है। हालांकि, JNPT पर 30 साल बाद लीज किराया ₹23 करोड़ बढ़ने से मुनाफे की दर कम हुई। कंपनी का कहना है कि यह अगले 15-18 महीनों में ग्राहकों से वसूली और नई क्षमता से ठीक हो जाएगा। तरल भंडारण कारोबार 95% क्षमता से चल रहा है, और JNPT पर 50,000 KL का विस्तार दिसंबर 2026 तक तैयार होगा। रसायन डिवीजन में कुछ खर्च बढ़े, लेकिन हालात ठीक हैं। कंपनी सावधानी से धीरे-धीरे मुनाफा सुधारने और किराये की कमाई में 5-6% सालाना बढ़ोतरी की उम्मीद कर रही है। मुख्य जोखिम: गोवा टर्मिनल लगभग बंद है, अब तक कोई कॉन्ट्रैक्ट नहीं हुआ।
