Citichem India Limited reported a net profit of ₹1.00 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, a decline of 18.5% compared to ₹1.23 crore in the previous year. The company's revenue from operations fell 49.3% to ₹9.48 crore from ₹18.70 crore in FY25, primarily due to reduced sales in its chemicals segment. The Board of Directors approved the audited standalone financial results at a meeting held on May 30, 2026.
The company’s total revenue for FY26 stood at ₹15.48 crore, significantly lower than ₹54.73 crore in the preceding year. This reduction was driven by a substantial decrease in other operating income, which fell to ₹5.30 crore from ₹35.68 crore. Despite the top-line contraction, the company maintained a positive EBITDA of ₹2.02 crore, slightly up from ₹1.98 crore in FY25. However, finance costs increased to ₹58.37 lakh from ₹30.61 lakh, impacting the bottom line.
