Jalan, Managing Director, GHCL said: “We are pleased to announce a strong year-end performance, highlighted by growth in EBITDA and improvement in margins. This achievement was driven by consistent volume expansion supported by steady demand and effective cost optimization efforts. Our best-in-class productivity, a direct result of our operational leadership and unique customer base, was instrumental in achieving these results. New global soda ash production capacities are driving increased supply, with moderate demand scenario is resulting in generally stable to softer price trends. Global tariff situation has created increased volatility and uncertainty for the business. In contrast, India demonstrates resilient and steady growth, fueled by consistent domestic demand from end user segments. The MIP in India provides a buffer for domestic manufacturers against global supply situation and pricing pressures to some extent. Our ongoing capital expenditure program is strategically aligned to strengthen our manufacturing capabilities, enhance our sustainability initiatives, and explore opportunities in adjacent sectors. The Vacuum Salt and Bromine project is advancing rapidly and is scheduled for commissioning in FY26. Our greenfield soda ash project and the new Salt Field project represent long-term strategic investments that will deliver significant operational and financial gains. Leveraging our strong financial position and proactive market engagement, we are confident in GHCL's sustained growth and our ability to deliver long-term stakeholder value.” Result PDF

R S Jalan, Managing Director, GHCL said: “We are glad to report a resilient Q2 performance, with a clear focus on operating excellence. Realizations stayed tempered during the quarter despite some increase in net imports of Soda Ash. Going forward, globally, the pricing may remain range-bound as industry challenges have not yet fully resolved and potential risks persist due to the ongoing geopolitical situations. Domestic prospects in Soda Ash look positive due to steps taken by GoI to encourage production of solar glass, including the 10% import duty levied on imports. Our performance going forward will be supported by planned expansion initiatives around Vacuum Salt and Bromine, which will start contributing from next year onwards. Overall, we remain focused on driving a highly efficient business that prioritizes profitable growth in a constrained environment and are committed to maximizing shareholder value through strategic decision-making and effective execution.” Result PDF
