Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to the Gujarat Narmada
Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited Q1 FY27 Earnings Conference
Call, hosted by Anurag Services LLP on behalf of GNFC Limited.
From the management, we have with us Mr. D.V. Parikh, Executive
Director and Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Nitin Patel, Executive Director;
Mr. P.K. Purohit, Executive Director; Mr. Rajesh Pillai, Company
Secretary and Compliance Officer; and other senior management
members.

there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions at the end of today's
presentation. Should you need assistance during the conference call,
please signal an operator by pressing star, then zero on your touch-
tone phone. Please note that this conference is being recorded.
I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. D.V. Parikh,
Executive Director and CFO, GNFC Limited. Thank you, and over to
you, sir.
D.V. Parikh: Thank you to moderator as well as the organizer for holding this call on
Q1 FY26-'27. Apart from the names which are given, we have other
members also from procurement and marketing. So investors may
direct the query accordingly. Maybe number of participants. And we
welcome all the investors to the call as well.
We'll first start with the business update as to what is happening to the
business. Overall, during the quarter 1, it has been the situation of
escalation and deescalation as far as war is concerned. And that has a
ripple effect on the business as well, in terms of, at times, viability
issues, at times, realizations, which have gone up. Similarly, the input
costs have also gone up because of the war situation.
During this quarter gone by, there are plants which we could not run for
cost economics reason, like acetic acid, ethyl acetate and to some
extent, TDI as well. Although in the investor presentation, the spreads

seem to be better, but the offtake has not been so good, which resulted
into some issue in the inventory. But overall, the profits for Q1 in our
view has been significantly higher, and it is the second highest in the
history of the company after the Q1 of '22. This typically happens in a
war-like situation, it can go either side.
On the fertilizer front, there is one good news that energy norms have
been revised in case of company. It was 6.20 Gcal per metric ton of
urea, which is revised to 6.37 Gcal now. This has been revised for a
period from FY25-26, and valid for 3 years period. So this is positive.
The other positive for the company is now during July, most of the
plants, which were not operational because of the cost economics
reason have resumed the operation. Whether it is ethyl acetate, acetic
acid, TDI-II is about to start, TDI-I has started. So except for the
methanol, most of the plants are running now.
Coming to the projects, the -- out of the 4 ongoing projects, the overdue
project of Dahej has started producing now. Out of the steam and
power, the steam portion has started coming, which is giving substantial
relief in terms of the better cost position to TDI-II plant. This is expected
to save materially because the gas prices are significantly higher,
although relatively coal prices are also higher, but then the delta is
more, which is causing this differential saving. So the costly gas will be
replaced with the coal. Is actually already replaced as far as steam is
concerned.
And power, we are expecting to come in a month's time or so or around
45 days' time. So apart from that, most of the projects are on stream.
There is a slight time change in case of a weak nitric acid plant, but that
is being monitored actively. So about 3 months delay is there, which is
going to be recouped. In case of AMUGL and AN Melt, it is absolutely
online. AN Melt is on positive side. So this is what is the update on the
project side.

Coming to now the other part, which is already there as part of
announcement, GNFC has proposed the Memorandum of
Understanding with GMDC. This is for the underground coal
gasification. GMDC is already into the mining business, and we are
already in the downstream business. So this will augur well. There are
certain studies which are ongoing. So very sooner, there will be
announcement. The similar announcement has gone in the public
domain from GMDC as well.
Coming to financials, the operating part has remained better, more or
less mainly because of the better realization, although volumes have
gone down. Volumes of sales have gone down substantially than the
volumes of production has been the situation. There is some change in
the overhead part and certain other income, which is on a lower side.
But on the operational side, it is basically the good realization, which
has augured well for the company. And most of the stock, which was
built up by Q1 is getting gradually liquidated in July and now in August
as well.
As far as segment results are concerned, the results in case of fertilizer
has further iterated by around INR60 crores or so from around INR24
crores to INR85 crores. And the majority of that is coming from urea,
around INR48 crores, and INR12 crores is coming from the ANP side.
The rest of the predominant profit is coming from chemical for which we
discussed the reason.
Now with this initial comments, I leave the floor open for question and
answer. Thank you very much.
Moderator: First question from the line of Nirav form Anvil Wealth.
Nirav: Congratulations on a very good set of numbers. Sir, 2, 3 questions from
my side. So first on the oil prices, like when we see the investor
presentation, the prices have gone up from close to around INR43,
INR44 to around INR73. And I believe that predominantly, this is a raw
