Sahyadri Industries Limited has released its audited financial results for the quarter and full year ended 31st March 2025, reporting a mixed performance influenced by subdued demand and pricing pressures in the domestic market.

Q4 FY25 Highlights:

12. Total Income: ₹1.53 billion, up 15.9 per cent quarter-on-quarter

13. EBITDA: ₹139 million, up 54.3 per cent QoQ

16. EBITDA: ₹580 million, down 17.8 per cent YoY

17. PAT: ₹195 million, down 26.2 per cent YoY

Commenting on the performance, Managing Director Mr. Satyen Patel stated that FY25 results were affected by muted demand, leading to a drop in revenue. However, he highlighted the company’s efforts in debt reduction, which contributed to lower finance costs and improved financial resilience.

EBITDA margins stood at 9.5 per cent, impacted by pricing challenges but partially offset by stable raw material costs. The company reduced its debt-to-equity ratio from 0.32 to 0.21, reflecting a strengthened balance sheet.

Capacity utilisation for FY25 was at 68 per cent, with expectations of improvement in the coming quarters as demand picks up.

The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹1 per share (face value ₹10) for FY25, acknowledging the company’s steady operational efforts despite a challenging business environment.
