Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals Ltd (CHAMBLFERT) Q1FY27 Concall Summary - Jun-2026 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company demonstrated a resilient performance despite a challenging operating environment marked by geopolitical uncertainties, elevated raw material prices, and a delayed monsoon, which subdued early-season fertilizer offtake.
- Profitability improved significantly, with EBITDA and Net Profit growing by 12% and 10% respectively, driven by an expanded EBITDA margin of 17%, up from 13% in the previous year.

- Strategic initiatives progressed well, with the Technical Ammonium Nitrate (TAN) project commencing production of weak nitric acid and ammonium nitrate solutions, moving closer to full commissioning.
- The company is actively progressing preparatory activities for a potential fourth urea plant under the new National Investment Policy for Urea 2026, reinforcing its long-term commitment to domestic capacity expansion and food security.
