BASF India reported FY25 audited results with standalone revenue from operations growing about 10% YoY to Rs 15,162 crore, but profit after tax declining roughly 11% to Rs 499 crore. Q4 was much weaker — standalone PAT fell around 71% YoY to Rs 47 crore as expenses rose faster than sales. The board recommended a final dividend of 200% on equity shares. Two major restructuring moves were announced: the Coatings business was transferred to a wholly owned subsidiary on January 1, 2025 for Rs 211.9 crore, and the company acquired BASF Agricultural Solutions India from its German parent BASF SE on May 2, 2025 — with a demerger scheme for the Agricultural Solutions business now approved and pending regulatory clearances. Exceptional items of Rs 36.5 crore (standalone) related to profit on sale of residential properties and the Coatings transfer. Auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unmodified opinion (this was the first year of their audit; FY24 was audited by a different firm).
Mixed picture for shareholders — topline grew but profits shrank, signaling margin pressure. The 200% dividend is a positive return. The pending demerger of Agricultural Solutions and completed Coatings transfer are significant corporate actions that will reshape the company's business mix and warrant close tracking of NCLT and regulatory approvals.
