* GNFC held an investor/analyst conference call on 13 Nov 2025, regarding Q2 FY26 earnings. * The board approved the Ammonium Nitrate Melt II project with a capacity of 163,000, part of ₹2,800 crore capex pipeline. Other capexes include weak nitric acid (₹1,420 crore), power and steam plant conversion at Dahej (₹613 crore), and ammonia loop expansion (₹331 crore). * The company is considering investments in Bisphenol A and Polyol, import substitutes, with potential capex between ₹7,000 crore to ₹8,000 crore including upstream Phenol plant. * Anti-dumping duty on certain products from the European Union, Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and Taiwan has been recommended for extension by 5 years until 2030. * Government revised fertilizer subsidy rates upward, benefiting the company by approximately ₹872 per metric tonne. * Q2 saw smooth operations, with minor outages at Bharuch and Dahej. TDI and CNA production supported the run rate. * Improvement in financial results is attributed to reduced input costs and increased volumes. * Challenges include the impact of sanctions on acetic acid due to methanol availability and cost, and the impact of imports on aniline volumes and margins. * The company's cash and bank balances decreased from approximately ₹2,300 crore to around ₹800 crore due to dividend payouts, investments in work in progress, and maturity of bank deposits. * Net subsidy outstanding as of 30th September is approximately ₹290 crore. * The company plans for AN Melt capacity to reach 338,000 tonnes by July 2027. * The company expects to see savings in P&L in the second half of next year through A.T. Kearney, which is working to achieve savings from procurement to operations. * The company received a demand notice of nearly ₹21,370 crore from the Department of Telecommunication, which the company disputes and feels it has a strong case. The matter is at the TDSAT level.
