GHCL Q1 Profit Rises 32% to Rs 191 Crore Amid Lower Costs, Margin Pressure Warned
GHCL Ltd reported a 32 percent rise in first-quarter net profit to Rs 191.18 crore, driven by lower expenses despite a 2.7-3.1 percent decline in total income or sales. The company highlighted improved operational efficiency and better realizations amid a volatile global soda ash market with stable demand but surplus supply. GHCL cautioned that ongoing global conflicts may increase energy and raw material costs, potentially pressuring margins. Its Bromine and Vacuum Salt projects are nearing commercial operations in Q2 FY27, while a greenfield soda ash project progresses slowly.
