Andhra Petrochemicals has returned to profitability in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, reporting a net profit of ₹1.38 crore against a net loss of ₹15.25 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This turnaround was achieved despite a significant decline in revenue from operations, which fell to ₹793.16 crore from ₹1,434.52 crore year-on-year. The company's Board of Directors approved the audited financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026, at a meeting held on May 27, 2026.
Financial Performance
The company's operating performance improved markedly, with EBITDA turning positive to ₹1.32 crore compared to a loss of ₹15.94 crore in the same quarter last year. The EBITDA margin for the quarter stood at 1.33%. Total income for the quarter stood at ₹856.96 crore, down from ₹1,500.44 crore in the prior year. The full year, however, remained in the red, with a net loss of ₹15.67 crore for FY26 compared to a loss of ₹18.13 crore in FY25.
Operational Challenges and Provisions
The financial results were impacted by specific operational challenges and regulatory provisions. The plant experienced shutdowns due to maintenance and a supply disruption of the key raw material Propylene by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL). Additionally, the company made a provision of ₹3.08 crore towards Fuel & Power Purchase Cost Adjustment (FPPCA) charges for the financial years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, following orders from the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC). The company has challenged these orders before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL).
