GACL's board approved audited standalone and consolidated results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, and recommended a strong dividend of Rs. 15.80 per share (158% on face value of Rs. 10), totalling Rs. 116.03 crores. On a standalone basis, the company swung to a profit of Rs. 73.44 crores in FY25 from a loss of Rs. 232.50 crores in FY24, while revenue grew about 7% to Rs. 4,072.91 crores from Rs. 3,806.63 crores. Consolidated FY25 profit came in at Rs. 58.76 crores versus a loss of Rs. 304.25 crores earlier, with the parent turnaround partly offset by continued losses at its 60% JV (GACL-NALCO). The auditor gave an unmodified opinion but flagged emphasis-of-matter notes on JV losses of Rs. 134.96 cr in FY25 (accumulated Rs. 594.68 cr), a new Rs. 300 cr backstopping guarantee for JV-issued compulsorily convertible debentures, and a post-balance-sheet technical issue at the JV plant from April 22, 2025. The board also appointed new secretarial and internal auditors and added Shri S J Haider, IAS, as an additional director via postal ballot.
Shareholders get a generous dividend payout and the standalone turnaround is a positive signal, but the JV's mounting losses, the Rs. 300 cr contingent guarantee, and post-year production issues at the JV plant remain key watchpoints that could weigh on consolidated performance.
