The board approved audited consolidated and standalone financial results for Q4 and FY ending March 31, 2025. Consolidated revenue grew 14.2% YoY to ₹20,689.54 crore, while consolidated PAT rose modestly 3.4% to ₹757.06 crore. Q4 FY25 was strong with consolidated PAT of ₹293.11 crore vs ₹170.44 crore in Q4 FY24 (~72% growth). However, standalone PAT fell sharply by about 26% to ₹335.59 crore, and operating margin compressed from 6.58% to 5.80%. A final dividend of ₹5.75 per share (287.5% on face value of ₹2) was recommended. The board also approved a ₹1,500 crore capex plan over 3 years to expand capacity from 4.5 Mn Ton to 6.8 Mn Ton. CMD Sanjay Gupta voluntarily surrendered his salary for Feb-Mar 2025 and commission for FY25 and FY26. Statutory auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unmodified opinion.
Shareholders get a healthy 287.5% dividend alongside a sizeable growth-oriented capex announcement signalling strong demand outlook. However, margin compression and a steep decline in standalone profitability are watchpoints. Overall, capacity expansion and a robust Q4 are likely to be viewed positively by the market.
