Paradeep Phosphates reported a mixed set of fourth-quarter earnings for FY26 on May 11, with higher revenue and operating profit offset by a decline in net profit.

Revenue for the March quarter rose 12% year-on-year to ₹4,702 crore from ₹4,194 crore, while EBITDA increased 15.4% to ₹442.4 crore compared with ₹383.4 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. EBITDA margin remained flat at 9%.

Net profit, however, declined 9.6% year-on-year to ₹155.6 crore from ₹172.2 crore.

The company’s board recommended a dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share of face value ₹10 each for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting.

Paradeep Phosphates had also reported a mixed operational performance in the December quarter, where revenue and EBITDA growth were accompanied by pressure on profitability. In Q3FY26, revenue had risen 15% year-on-year to ₹5,748 crore, while EBITDA grew 7.7% to ₹471.8 crore. Margins during the quarter narrowed to 8.2% from 8.8% a year earlier amid cost pressures.
