Standalone revenue from operations was Rs 1.39 trillion (tn) and EBITDA was Rs 131.19 billion (bn), both indicating moderation against prior year figures. Profit before tax reduced to Rs 89.64 billion (bn) as global headwinds affected margins. The company highlighted resilient operations amid challenging conditions.

The fourth quarter showed sequential softening in earnings, with consolidated quarterly profit after tax excluding minority interest at Rs 14.85 billion (bn). Management reported stable top line but compressed profitability for the period under review.

The board recommended a final dividend of Rs 0.50 per equity share, in addition to the interim dividend of Rs 5.00 per share, taking the total payout ratio for the year to 51.90 per cent, subject to shareholder approval. Capital expenditure for FY2025-26 amounted to Rs 95.94 billion (bn), mainly for pipeline infrastructure and petrochemical projects. Operationally the company added about 2,000 km of pipeline and achieved highest ever LPG transmission at 4.6 MMTPA, while annual gas transmission volumes were 122.18 MMSCMD.

The board approved investments in renewable capacity, including about 700 megawatt (MW) of solar and about 178 MW of wind, and six compressed biogas plants with combined capacity near 95 tonnes per day, aligned with Strategy 2030 and net zero commitments. Management said the measures are aimed at future-ready growth and long term value creation. The company will continue to focus on cost discipline and supply reliability as it advances its energy transition goals.
