2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

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.
