GAIL (India) Ltd reported standalone revenue from operations of Rs. 1,38,696.52 crore for FY 2025-26, marginally higher than Rs. 1,37,287.56 crore in the previous year. However, standalone net profit after tax declined significantly to Rs. 6,968.30 crore from Rs. 11,312.32 crore in FY 2024-25, a drop of about 38%. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 0.50 per equity share (5%), in addition to the interim dividend of Rs. 5.00 per share already paid during the year. The auditors issued unmodified opinions with emphasis of matter on contested PNGRB tariff orders, a CESTAT excise duty demand of Rs. 3,768 crore (disclosed as contingent liability), and expected recovery of Rs. 163.46 crore from Nagarjuna Fertilizers. The company's net worth stands at Rs. 66,365.33 crore with a debt equity ratio of 0.28.
The 38% decline in net profit despite stable revenue reflects higher finance costs and operating expenses amid geopolitical disruptions affecting LNG supplies. The shareholder-friendly dividend policy (total Rs. 5.50 per share) demonstrates commitment to returns, but the profit decline and contingent liabilities may create cautious sentiment among investors.
