Chemplast Sanmar's Board has not recommended any dividend for FY 2025-26, skipping shareholder reward for the second consecutive year. The company posted consolidated revenue of Rs 4,223.79 Crores (down from Rs 4,346.07 Crores). A massive Rs 898 Crores impairment provision was recorded for subsidiary Chemplast Cuddalore Vinyls (CCVL) due to adverse PVC market conditions including low-priced imports, removal of anti-dumping duty expectations, and raw material volatility. On standalone basis, the company reported a net loss of Rs 882.94 Crores after exceptional items. The Board also appointed Mr V S Radhakrishnan (ex-SBI Deputy MD) as Non-Executive Director and formed a committee of 3 Independent Directors to explore strategic reorganization and M&A opportunities. Statutory auditors gave unmodified opinion on the results.
No dividend for FY 2025-26 is negative for income-focused investors. The Rs 898 Crores impairment signals severe stress in the PVC subsidiary business. Formation of strategic committee suggests potential major corporate changes ahead, which could be value-accretive or risky depending on outcomes.
