GHCL reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹773 crore, down 4.2% YoY, with EBITDA of ₹175 crore (margin 22.7%, down 100bps QoQ) and PAT of ₹107 crore. The decline was driven by continued pricing pressure from cheap imports, which rose 10% YoY, and a planned maintenance shutdown that reduced production by ~20,000 tons. Management highlighted strong operational efficiencies and cost controls that partially offset margin erosion. The bromine and vacuum salt projects are near completion, expected to commission by Q4 FY26, but will not materially impact revenue. The greenfield soda ash project is delayed due to land acquisition hurdles, with commissioning now targeted by 2030. Guidance remains cautious: no specific margin or revenue targets were provided. Key risk: sustained low pricing from global oversupply, especially from China, could further compress margins.
GHCL ने तीसरी तिमाही (Q3) में ₹773 करोड़ का कारोबार किया, जो पिछले साल से 4.2% कम है। कंपनी ने ₹175 करोड़ का EBITDA (कमाई में से खर्च घटाने के बाद बचा मुनाफा) कमाया, जो 22.7% का मार्जिन है, लेकिन पिछली तिमाही से 1% कम है। शुद्ध मुनाफा (PAT) ₹107 करोड़ रहा। कमाई घटने की वजह सस्ते आयात से बढ़ी प्रतिस्पर्धा और मेंटेनेंस के लिए 20,000 टन कम उत्पादन है। कंपनी ने लागत कम करके कुछ नुकसान भरपाई की। ब्रोमीन और वैक्यूम सॉल्ट प्रोजेक्ट जल्द पूरे होंगे, लेकिन इससे कमाई पर बड़ा असर नहीं पड़ेगा। सोडा ऐश प्रोजेक्ट जमीन की समस्या से 2030 तक टल गया है। कंपनी ने कोई ठोस मुनाफा या कमाई का लक्ष्य नहीं दिया। मुख्य जोखिम: चीन से सस्ते माल की भरमार से मार्जिन और गिर सकता है।
