GAIL (India) Limited reported standalone PAT of ₹6,968 crore for FY2025-26, a significant decline of 38% from ₹11,312 crore in FY25. Revenue from Operations grew marginally to ₹1,38,697 crore from ₹1,37,288 crore, while EBITDA fell to ₹13,119 crore from ₹19,168 crore in the previous year. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹0.50 per share, adding to the interim dividend of ₹5.00 per share, bringing the total payout ratio to 51.90%. The company incurred capex of ₹9,594 crore during the year, primarily towards pipeline infrastructure and petrochemical projects. Operational highlights include record LPG transmission of 4,600 TMT and addition of ~2,000 km of pipeline network.
The sharp decline in profitability despite stable revenues indicates margin compression due to global headwinds and volatile market conditions. However, the continued dividend commitment and strong payout ratio provide some comfort to shareholders. The company's ongoing capex investments in pipeline infrastructure and renewable energy projects signal commitment to long-term growth despite near-term headwinds.
