Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GNFC) has released the transcript of its Q3 FY26 earnings conference call, which took place on February 11, 2026. The call featured management, including Executive Director and CFO Mr. D. V. Parikh, discussing business conditions, segment performance, and ongoing projects.
The company noted a stable fertilizer segment with slight improvement in NBS rates and good volume for urea. The chemical segment performed better in volume, though most products faced pricing pressure except TDI. Losses in the fertilizer segment have reduced due to favorable subsidy freight rates and urea volumes. Chemical segment performance was largely consistent, with a marginal change of ₹3 crores in others.
Significant CAPEX approvals were mentioned, including a fifth boiler at Bharuch with an estimated cost of ₹480 crores to ₹500 crores for capacity building and power cost savings. An additional CAPEX for an extra line from DGVCL, GETCO is also planned to valorize green power and ensure operational stability. All four major projects are on stream, with the CCPP expected to commission by end March or early April, contributing ₹110 crores gross and ₹82 crores net inflow. Other projects like ammonium nitrate melt, additional ammonia capacity, and weak nitric acid are also operational, with a slight delay in weak nitric acid that is recoupable.
Discussions during the Q&A included TDI pricing, where GNFC follows import parity. Anti-dumping duty on TDI has been extended for another five years. GNFC holds about 60% market share in TDI, with imports making up the rest. The company's acetic acid is noted to be eligible for export tax rebates, which could improve prices. Production numbers for ammonia, WNA, CNA, AN melt, and formic acid for Q3 were detailed. The company is implementing measures for operating cost savings through AT Kearney, targeting ₹260 crores to ₹300 crores, with initial savings already locked in renewable power purchase agreements.
Regarding future plans, a major annual shutdown is planned for Q2 FY2027. A new nitric acid plant (3) with a capacity of 203,000 metric tonnes per annum is expected by June 2027, with a substantial portion for AN melt and about 70,000 tonnes for merchant sale. Total CAPEX spent until December 2025 is around ₹1,000 crores, with actual commitments up to ₹2,600 crores. The company is also expanding ammonia production capacity and may purchase some ammonia from the market. Volume growth is expected in TDI, and cost advantages are anticipated from capacity-building CAPEX and operational transformation exercises.
