Zuari Agro Chemicals Reports Q4 Losses Amid MCFL Deconsolidation, Full-Year Profit Rises

Zuari Agro Chemicals reported a significant decline in consolidated net profit for Q4 FY26, with losses ranging from Rs 25 crore to Rs 37 crore and sales dropping over 80% year-on-year to around Rs 187-196 crore. The decline is attributed to the deconsolidation of Mangalore Chemicals Fertilizers Ltd (MCFL) and related restructuring. Despite quarterly losses, the company posted a substantial net profit increase for the full year FY26, rising over 450% to approximately Rs 920 crore amid lower annual sales.
