FY 2025–26 was a year defined by evolving market dynamics and external headwinds, reinforcing the importance of disciplined execution and adaptability. Despite a challenging environment, your Company remained strong and focused on delivering consistent value through trusted customer partnerships, operational excellence, and strategic initiatives. The global macroeconomic environment continued to be shaped by geopolitical uncertainties, supply chain disruptions, and volatility in energy and feedstock markets, placing sustained pressure on industrial value chains. These factors, along with pricing challenges across the chemical industry, impacted margins and business sentiment. At the same time, India’s economic fundamentals remained robust, supported by stable domestic consumption, continued policy momentum, and sustained industrial growth. This combination of global challenges and domestic opportunities required agility, adaptability, and a steadfast focus on fundamentals — qualities that your Company consistently demonstrated throughout the year. On a consolidated basis, your Company reported Revenue from Operations (continuing operations) of Rs. 149,440.0 million for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to Rs. 147,803.6 million (continuing operations) in the previous year. Profit before tax (before exceptional items) from continuing operations stood at Rs. 5,612.6 million, compared to profit before tax (before exceptional items) from continuing operations of Rs. 6,232.4 million in the previous year. While revenue growth remained modest, it was supported by volume growth in key segments. Your Company achieved steady volume growth across key businesses during the year, with particularly strong performance in Nutrition & Care and Industrial Solutions segments, despite softer market conditions. Profitability was impacted by higher input costs and prevailing market challenges; however, disciplined cost management, portfolio optimization, and operational excellence helped maintain healthy margins and business resilience. The Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of 250%, i.e., Rs. 25 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, reflecting our continued commitment to delivering shareholder value. During the year, we continued to expand our manufacturing footprint and strengthen our innovation capability in India. The Cellasto® plant at Dahej made significant progress and remains on track to meet the demands of the rapidly growing Indian automotive industry for noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) reduction solutions. In parallel, we are expanding our dispersions capacity at the Mangalore site to support future growth and enhance our ability to meet increasing customer demand across coatings, construction chemicals, and related industries. These key investments underscore our long-term commitment to India and our strategy to support sustainable growth through “local-for-local” manufacturing and enhanced customer engagement. Aligned with BASF’s global sustainability goals, all manufacturing sites are actively advancing initiatives to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Reinforcing this commitment, this year we have partnered with Clean Max to procure renewable energy through a hybrid solar and wind project for our manufacturing sites in Gujarat, accelerating our transition toward lower-carbon and more sustainable operations. At PlastIndia 2026, we showcased #OurPlasticsJourney through innovative and circular solutions for a more sustainable plastics ecosystem, including the Tinuvin® NOR® platform of advanced stabilizer solutions that enhances greenhouse film performance and offers excellent durability thereby supporting more sustainable plasticulture. Concurrently, we expanded our portfolio through new product introductions and strengthened our position in high- growth segments such as insecticides, biostimulants, and specialty applications with the launch of Valexio® and Mibelya®. These efforts reinforce our commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions that create value for our customers and support long-term growth. As part of differentiated steering, your Company is in the process of demerging the Agricultural Solutions business into a separate listed Company, BASF Agricultural Solutions India Limited. This transition will allow the agri-business to operate with greater agility and sharper focus, while remaining fully aligned with BASF’s global strategy. We believe that this step unlocks shareholder value and positions both entities for long-term growth. Safety continues to be our top priority. I am pleased to note that your Company maintained a strong safety performance during the year, with no high-severity incidents across its sites. We remain committed to our goal of zero incidents while continuously improving our leading safety indicators and fostering a culture of safety excellence across all aspects of our operations. Corporate Social Responsibility remains deeply embedded in our strategy and operations. We continue to align our initiatives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with a strong focus on climate action, education, and community development. Programs such as We-Chemie and Kids’ Lab continue to create meaningful impact by nurturing young talent, promoting science education, and empowering the next generation of innovators. As we look ahead, we remain focused on driving operational excellence through working capital efficiency, optimal asset utilization, and disciplined cost management, while navigating an increasingly dynamic global environment. Driving sustainable growth and creating long-term value for all our stakeholders through strategic investments will remain at the heart of our strategy. I would like to thank our employees for their commitment, our customers and partners for their continued collaboration, and all stakeholders for their trust and engagement. To our shareholders, I extend my sincere gratitude for your continued support and confidence. Together, with our employees, customers, and communities, we remain committed to shaping a future that is sustainable, inclusive, and inno [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
