The full read
Keltech Energies closed FY26 with a net profit of ₹28.66 crore, a 15% improvement over the previous year. Revenue grew to ₹532 crore, up from ₹489.4 crore. A portion of this bottom-line improvement stems from a ₹3.18 crore exceptional gain, following a successful legal appeal at the customs tribunal regarding anti-dumping duties on ammonium nitrate. The board has recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per share. While the revenue growth indicates a stable business, the profit figure is inflated by the one-time tax refund. Investors should look past the headline profit growth to assess the underlying operating margins, which are now exposed to the volatility of import duties and commodity costs.
