The strong performance during Q4 FY26 reflects the momentum across our core business segments, supported by better execution, stronger business volumes, and continued expansion across key markets. We remain focused on building a scalable and diversified business model while creating long-term value for all stakeholders.”
Strategic expansion aimed at improving operational efficiency
In line with its growth strategy, the company said it is further augmenting its logistics capabilities by adding 10 multi-axle tankers to its existing fleet. “With this expansion, the company’s total owned fleet will increase to 71 vehicles, enabling it to better cater to rising customer demand and ensure timely deliveries across markets. The enhanced fleet size is expected to reduce dependency on third-party transporters, improve turnaround times, and optimise logistics costs,” the company said.
During the fiscal year, the company strengthened its growth pipeline through multiple strategic initiatives, including a tri-party concentrated nitric acid supply arrangement for 10,000 metric tonnes with Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals and Solar Industries India; a ₹127.50 crore industrial urea supply order; and expansion into the electric mobility segment through increasing its stake in A-1 Sureja Industries to 51%.
The company also completed key corporate actions, including a 3:1 bonus issue, a 10:1 stock split, and an increase in authorized share capital to support future growth initiatives, according to its press release.
