Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GSFC) has announced a final dividend of ₹5 per share for FY 2024–25. The company has fixed September 9, 2025, as the record date, with the dividend payout scheduled on or after September 30, 2025, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming 63rd Annual General Meeting (AGM).
In its exchange filing, GSFC confirmed:
“The Board recommended a dividend of ₹5 per equity share of face value ₹2 each (i.e. 250%) for the year ended March 31, 2025, on 39,84,77,530 equity shares of the company, subject to approval of shareholders at the ensuing AGM.”
What the Record Date Means for Shareholders
With September 9 as the record date, September 8 will be the last day to buy GSFC shares in order to qualify for the dividend. Investors purchasing shares on or after September 9 will not be eligible, owing to the T+1 settlement rule.
GSFC Q1 FY26 Financial Performance
GSFC reported a stable topline in Q1 FY26 compared with the same period last year, but profitability improved thanks to higher margins in key segments.
- EBITDA Margin: Rose from 8% to 11%.
- Fertilizer Segment: EBIT jumped from ₹86 crore to ₹137 crore, driven by robust trading in NPK fertilizers, stronger APS/AS sales, and better realisations in the P&K category.
- Urea Business: Volumes fell 73%, largely due to the absence of ₹149 crore in trial project sales recorded last year and ongoing stabilisation issues.
- Raw Material Costs: Prices of natural gas and ammonia eased, while P₂O₅ and sulphur/sulphuric acid costs surged.
- Industrial Products Segment: Swung to a profit with ₹25 crore EBIT, aided by stronger sales of Ammonia and Hydrochloric Acid (HX), despite pressure from weaker spreads and reduced core volumes.
Summary
GSFC has declared a final dividend of ₹5 per share (250%), with September 9, 2025, as the record date. Shareholders must own the stock by September 8 to be eligible. On the business front, GSFC’s Q1 FY26 results showed resilience, with stronger fertilizer and industrial products performance offsetting weakness in urea sales. Improving margins and a strategic focus on value-added products underline the company’s steady financial health.
