What’s new

• Gandhar is reversing its capex pause to fund a new expansion in Taloja.
• Full-year net profit rose 64% to ₹137.2 crore.
• Management targets EBITDA margins above 6%, up from the current 5.53%.

Why it matters

Running at 126% capacity is a clear signal of demand outstripping supply. The decision to immediately pivot back to capex suggests management sees this volume growth as sustainable rather than a temporary spike.

What we’re watching

• The timeline for the Taloja plant expansion.
• Whether the shift to specialty products successfully lifts margins above 6%.
• Further updates on raw material sourcing as Middle East disruptions persist.

The full read

Gandhar Oil is running its Indian plants at 126% of capacity. This operational bottleneck has forced management to abandon its earlier commitment to pause capital expenditure.

It is a massive pivot.

The company has acquired land in Taloja and is finalizing a two-year expansion plan to meet demand. This strategic shift follows a strong fiscal year, where net profit climbed 64% to ₹137.2 crore. Management is now focused on lifting EBITDA margins above 6% from the current 5.53% by shifting the product mix toward higher-margin specialty offerings. To manage ongoing geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East, the company has also restructured its raw material sourcing. For a company with a market cap of ₹1,578 crore, the move to prioritize growth over a capital pause is a clear bet on sustained demand that leaves little room for error.

What’s new

• Q4 net profit hit ₹37 crore, up 201% from the year-ago period.
• Quarterly revenue climbed 14% to ₹1,093 crore.
• Full-year profit reached ₹137.2 crore on revenue of ₹4,241 crore.

Why it matters

The triple-digit profit growth signals that Gandhar's shift toward higher-margin products is yielding results. With the PHPO segment now accounting for nearly half of total revenue, the company's reliance on personal care and healthcare demand is its primary engine.

What we’re watching

• Whether the 88% EBITDA growth in Q4 proves sustainable in FY27.
• Volume growth trends in the PHPO segment.
• Operating efficiency gains as the company scales manufacturing.

The full read

Gandhar Oil Refinery closed FY26 with a 64% jump in annual profit to ₹137.2 crore. The momentum accelerated in the final quarter, where net profit surged 201% to ₹37 crore on revenue of ₹1,093 crore. This quarterly revenue represents a 14% year-on-year increase. The company attributes the performance to a shift toward higher-margin products and better operating efficiency. EBITDA for the quarter rose 88% to ₹63.6 crore. The PHPO segment remains the anchor, contributing 48% of total revenue, fueled by demand from the personal care and healthcare sectors. Manufacturing volumes for the year grew 9% to 5,45,755 kilolitres. While these figures confirm a strong finish to the year, the challenge for the next cycle is maintaining these margins as the company scales its output.

What’s new

• Revenue climbed 8% to ₹3,422.56 crore.
• Board approved a ₹50 crore investment for a new South African subsidiary and a ₹20 crore land purchase near Mumbai.

Why it matters

Profit growth is outpacing revenue, signaling improved efficiency. The dual move into South African distribution and new land near Mumbai shows a clear intent to scale both geographically and domestically.

What we’re watching

• The timeline for the South African subsidiary's operational launch.
• How the new land parcel near Mumbai will be used for capacity.
• Whether the current profit growth is sustainable in FY27.

The full read

Gandhar Oil Refinery delivered a strong FY26. Standalone profit before tax surged 71% to ₹180.93 crore on revenue of ₹3,422.56 crore.

That 8% top-line growth is modest, but the bottom-line expansion shows the company is keeping more of its sales. The board is now moving to deploy capital, authorizing up to ₹50 crore for a new wholly-owned subsidiary in South Africa to handle petroleum product distribution. Domestically, the company is securing space for future growth, signing an agreement to purchase a 21,551 sq m land parcel near Mumbai for ₹20 crore. Leadership stability is also locked in, with Samir and Aslesh Parekh reappointed as joint managing directors for five terms. With an unmodified audit opinion, the company enters the new fiscal year with a cleaner balance sheet and a clear mandate for international and local expansion. It is a growth phase.
