Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals reported that its fertilizer segment result before tax and finance costs fell to ₹16.62 crore in July–September 2026, from ₹224.43 crore a year earlier, despite higher segment revenue. The company attributed pressure to sharply higher sulfur and natural gas costs; its CFO said fertilizer margins depend importantly on government subsidies.
GSFC is also pursuing a ₹3,000 crore acid plant at Sikka to reduce input-cost exposure.
The account highlights how subsidy rates and raw-material costs jointly determine fertilizer producers’ margins, while new acid capacity could reduce sulfur-related costs. It gives no direct evidence of a change in fertilizer supply or prices, so the commodity price impact is limited.
