GAIL Reports 38-41% Drop in Q4 FY26 Net Profit Amid Revenue Decline

GAIL (India) Ltd reported a 38-41% year-on-year decline in net profit for Q4 FY26, ranging from Rs 1,262 crore to Rs 1,481 crore, amid a 2.3-2.5% drop in revenue to around Rs 34,798-35,705 crore. The profit fall was attributed to disruptions in LNG supply from the Middle East conflict, impacting gas marketing and petrochemical segments, despite growth in natural gas transmission. For FY26, net profit fell significantly, while revenue remained largely flat compared to the previous year.
