Navin Fluorine Q3 Net Profit Rises 122% to Rs 185 Crore
Navin Fluorine International (NFIL) delivered an exceptional performance in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory. The company reported a consolidated net profit of 185.40 crore, representing a massive 122% surge compared to 83.60 crore in the same period last year.
Revenue from operations grew by 47% to reach 892.37 crore, up from 606.20 crore. This robust top-line expansion was mirrored by an impressive jump in operating EBITDA, which rose 109% to 308 crore. Operational efficiency reached a new peak with EBITDA margins expanding by 1,017 basis points to hit 34.5%.
The growth was balanced across all three primary business verticals. The High-Performance Products (HPP) segment saw revenue rise by 35% to 412 crore, fueled by higher volumes and a constructive pricing environment for HFCs. Specialty Chemicals recorded its highest-ever quarterly revenue of 354 crore, growing 60% year-on-year.
The Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) business continues to be a high-growth engine, with revenues jumping 61% to 127 crore. This segment is supported by strong order visibility and the successful start of commercial supplies from the new cGMP4 facility.
The market responded with high enthusiasm as NFIL shares hit a new 52-week high of 6,634.50 following the results. The stock has gained over 50% in the last year, reflecting investor confidence in the company's aggressive capacity expansion.
Looking ahead, the board has approved significant capital expenditures to sustain this momentum. This includes 236.50 crore for additional HFC capacity at the Surat unit and 75 crore for debottlenecking the Multi-Purpose Plant at Dahej. These investments target the growing demand for low-GWP gases and novel agrochemical intermediates.
Management has maintained a positive outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year, backed by a sanguine order book and a projected 10.9% production growth for the broader Indian chemical industry in 2026. The company also declared an interim dividend of 6.50 per share, rewarding shareholders amidst its rapid expansion.
