The company's Net Profit (After Tax) surged to ₹83.67 Crores, a substantial rise from ₹31.49 Crores in the previous year. This improved performance is attributed to increased selling prices of Caustic Soda and other chemicals, coupled with reduced losses from the discontinuation of operations at its Sugar Units.
The company's Profit Before Tax also saw a considerable jump to ₹112.37 Crores for FY26, compared to ₹41.84 Crores in FY25. The Chemical Division, particularly the Caustic Soda segment, performed reasonably well, achieving a turnover of ₹682.49 Crores and a Profit After Depreciation of ₹65.61 Crores.

Looking ahead, the company is focusing on expansion and efficiency. A Sodium Sulphate recovery plant is expected to be operational during FY27. A new 100 TPD Sodium Hypochlorite project at Visakhapatnam, with an estimated cost of ₹18 Crores, is underway, though facing some delays due to regulatory matters.

The Board has recommended a dividend of ₹1.20 per Equity Share (60%), comprising a normal dividend of ₹1 (50%) and a special dividend of ₹0.20 (10%) for FY26. This marks the company's continuous reward to shareholders for six decades. The total outflow for this dividend will be ₹16,26,42,468/-
