Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Ltd. reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 2026, posting a marginal decline in net profit compared to the same period a year earlier. Revenue from operations fell nearly 12% year-on-year, reflecting softer topline performance during the quarter.

Despite the revenue contraction, the company delivered a stronger operating performance. EBITDA rose on a year-on-year basis, and operating margins expanded sharply, indicating improved cost efficiency and product mix relative to the prior-year quarter.

The April-to-June quarter coincides with the Kharif sowing season in India, a key demand window for fertiliser manufacturers. India is among the world's largest consumers and importers of fertilisers, and sector performance is closely tied to monsoon progression, agricultural output, and government subsidy policy. Urea, Chambal's primary product, is sold under statutory retail pricing controls in India, with manufacturers receiving nutrient-based subsidy support from the government.

Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals is a leading Indian fertiliser manufacturer headquartered in New Delhi. The company operates across multiple business segments, including:

• Own Manufactured Fertilisers
• Complex Fertilisers
• Crop Protection Chemicals
• Speciality Nutrients and Seeds
• Others, which includes Technical Ammonium Nitrate (TAN)

The company is part of the KK Birla Group and is one of the largest producers of urea in India, with manufacturing facilities in Kota and Gadepan in Rajasthan.
