Summary

Ganesh Benzoplast Ltd held its Q3 FY2025‑26 earnings conference call, presenting a mixed financial picture. Consolidated revenue rose 18% year‑on‑year to ₹1,053 million, while nine‑month turnover reached ₹2,999 million, up 9%. However, profit after tax slipped to ₹162 million from ₹184 million, primarily because of a substantial increase in lease‑rental provisions for the JNPT terminal. The chemical division drove much of the top‑line growth, posting an 11% revenue increase to ₹1,399 million and a 36% jump in pre‑tax profit, lifting EPS for the nine‑month period to 8 rupees. Standalone figures were stronger, with a 25% revenue rise to ₹688 million and a modest 5% PAT increase to ₹141 million, underscoring the resilience of core operations despite higher lease costs. Management addressed several investor queries, confirming that construction on the reclaimed 4.5‑hectare LPG JV land has begun, with phase‑1 commissioning expected in Q1 FY27‑28 and full completion by FY27‑28. A new ₹51.33 crore carbon‑fiber order from Reliance will see the infra subsidiary take selective EPC work, while a planned tank‑capacity expansion could add ₹45‑50 crore top‑line and deliver 65‑75% EBITDA margins. The board also signaled a dividend payout to start in FY27‑28, subject to AGM approval. The call highlights margin pressure from lease‑rental escalations but also points to growth avenues in chemicals, infrastructure EPC, and capacity expansion. Investors should monitor the timeline for the JNPT project, the impact of the new EPC contracts, and the forthcoming dividend policy as indicators of the company’s ability to translate revenue gains into sustainable earnings.
