Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) announced its un-audited financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025, during its board meeting held on February 6, 2026. The company reported standalone revenue from operations of ₹1,044.46 Crores, representing a marginal increase of 0.70% from ₹1,029.41 Crores in the corresponding quarter of the previous year (YoY). However, the revenue saw a decline of approximately 8.58% compared to the previous quarter (QoQ), which stood at ₹1,142.54 Crores. On the profitability front, the company recorded a standalone net loss of ₹11.16 Crores for Q3 FY26, a sharp decline compared to a net profit of ₹8.55 Crores in Q3 FY25 and ₹16.34 Crores in Q2 FY26. This downturn occurred despite a one-off profit adjustment of ₹18.29 Crores due to a valuation correction of ‘Spent Palladium catalyst’ inventory.
