Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited filed its Business Responsibility & Sustainability Report for FY26 on August 22, 2026. The disclosure highlights improvements in operational efficiency and resource management across its fertilizer and chemical segments.

The company reported a turnover of ₹7,773 crore and a net worth of ₹8,981 crore for the period ending March 31, 2026. These figures form the basis for the environmental and social metrics disclosed in the standalone report.

Operational Efficiency

Energy intensity in terms of physical output decreased from 7.50 GJ per tonne in FY25 to 7.20 GJ per tonne in FY26. Total energy consumption stood at 20,942,930.80 GJ, with renewable sources contributing 1,59,606.57 GJ. Non-renewable consumption fell to 2,07,83,324.23 GJ from 2,29,68,976.90 GJ in the prior year.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between total energy consumption and energy intensity suggests production volume growth outpaced energy use. While total energy consumed rose significantly year-on-year, the drop in specific intensity indicates improved efficiency per unit of output.

Environmental Metrics

Total water consumption declined to 1,50,19,781 kilolitres from 1,55,64,252 kilolitres in FY25. Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions fell to 16,84,415.68 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, down from 19,03,591.56 metric tonnes. Scope 2 emissions increased to 1,46,769.09 metric tonnes.
