GHCL reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹888 crore (flat YoY) with EBITDA of ₹194 crore (down 20.5% YoY) and PAT of ₹120 crore (down 21.6% YoY). Volumes grew 11% YoY but were offset by a 10% decline in realizations due to global soda ash oversupply. Domestic demand improved, aided by reduced imports from higher freight costs and geopolitical disruptions. Management noted pricing may have bottomed, with cost pass-throughs supporting realizations. The bromine and vacuum salt projects are near commissioning, expected to contribute ₹120 crore revenue in FY27 at 40-45% margins. Key risk: global supply rationalization remains slow, and any easing of geopolitical tensions could revive cheap imports, pressuring margins again.
