Chemicals Segment Drives Revenue Surge

Indian Phosphate Limited achieved a significant top-line expansion in the first half of FY27, with consolidated revenue reaching ₹907 crore. This performance was largely underpinned by the chemicals manufacturing vertical, which saw its standalone revenue contribution jump from ₹381.92 crore in H1-26 to ₹790.93 crore in H1-27. The surge is attributed to increased capacity utilization and the scaling of newer product lines.

Despite the sharp increase in scale, the company maintained its operating margin at 2.9%, matching the performance from the same period last year. This stability suggests effective management of raw material costs even as production volumes for industrial chemicals accelerated.
