---

INDIA, MAY 23, 2025 (GPN): Deepak Fertilisers And Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (DFPCL), one of India’s leading producers of industrial and mining chemicals and fertilisers, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2025. The company reported a stellar 102% growth in net profit for the fiscal year, with Q4 PAT rising by 21% year-on-year, reflecting strong operational performance and successful strategic execution.

Consolidated revenues for Q4 FY25 stood at ₹2,667 crore, a 28% increase over the same period last year. For the full year, revenues grew by 18%, driven by robust demand across the company’s core segments. Full-year EBITDA grew by 50% to ₹1,925 crore, with Q4 EBITDA rising 10% to ₹480 crore. PAT for FY25 doubled to ₹945 crore, underscoring a sharp improvement in profitability and efficiency.

The company’s transformation journey from a commodity-focused entity to a specialty and solutions-driven organisation continued to gain traction, with revenue from specialty products rising to 22% in FY25 from 17% in the previous year. This shift is further strengthened by innovative offerings such as Croptek and Smartek, which delivered triple-digit and high double-digit growth respectively in Q4.

Commenting on the results, Mr. S.C. Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, said, “This year has been both challenging and transformative. Our focused investments in specialty solutions, innovation, and organisational restructuring have enabled us to deliver strong financial performance and lay a solid foundation for sustainable growth. Our strategic priorities are well aligned with India’s growth story across agriculture, infrastructure, mining, and healthcare.”

In FY25, DFPCL achieved a historic milestone by crossing 1 million metric tonnes in bulk fertiliser sales and liquidation. The Crop Nutrition Business posted a 68% YoY growth in manufactured bulk fertiliser volumes in Q4, buoyed by favourable monsoon conditions and wider adoption of crop-specific nutrient solutions.

The Mining Chemicals segment maintained strong momentum with LDAN—a premium, high-performance variant of Technical Ammonium Nitrate—recording 11% volume growth in Q4 and 15% growth for the full year. The company is currently operating at near full capacity in its existing TAN facilities and is progressing steadily with capacity expansion at Gopalpur, which is 75% complete. A parallel project for Building Block Nitric Acid at Dahej has reached 48% completion.

In the Pharma/Specialty Chemicals segment, Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) volumes dipped due to a planned shutdown for process optimisation, which has now been completed. Meanwhile, Building Block Nitric Acid volumes increased by 29% in Q4, supported by steady downstream demand and improved operating efficiencies through Smart Factory initiatives.

DFPCL also made significant progress on balance sheet strength, reducing net debt from ₹3,426 crore to ₹3,305 crore, despite incurring ₹655 crore in Capex during FY25. Net debt to EBITDA improved substantially from 2.66x to 1.72x.

Looking ahead, DFPCL anticipates robust demand during the upcoming Kharif season, supported by an above-normal monsoon forecast. The company is confident that its focus on specialty solutions, scale execution, and upcoming capacity expansions will further consolidate its leadership across verticals. The Board has recommended
