Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) has reported a 10% increase in revenue, achieving Rs. 1,063 crores for the second quarter of the financial year 2025-26, up from Rs. 966 crores in the same period last year. The company's Board of Directors approved these financial results in a meeting held on November 7, 2025. The impressive revenue growth can be attributed to enhanced capacity utilization across various plants and improved production levels of key products. Additionally, the company benefited from better sales realizations for its major revenue-generating product groups during the quarter.

In terms of profitability, GACL's Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) rose by 7% to Rs. 133 crores, compared to Rs. 124 crores in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. For the first half of the financial year, EBITDA surged by 28% to Rs. 258 crores, up from Rs. 201 crores. The company's profit before tax (PBT) for the second quarter stood at Rs. 13 crores, while total PBT for the half-year reached Rs. 23 crores. The reduction in energy costs due to increased use of renewable power has also played a significant role in enhancing profitability, aligning with GACL's ongoing initiatives to improve operational efficiency.

GACL is actively pursuing various strategic initiatives under its project "Ahvaan," which focuses on enhancing operational efficiencies and cost-cutting measures across multiple functional areas. The company has engaged M/s. AT Kearney as a strategic consultant to further these efforts. Additionally, GACL's material subsidiary, GACL-NALCO Alkalies & Chemicals Private Limited, has reported its first-ever profit before tax of Rs. 10 lakhs during this quarter. These developments indicate a strong commitment to sustainable growth and operational excellence as GACL navigates the evolving market landscape.
