Godrej Agrovet Limited has released its audited financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The agribusiness company reported consolidated revenue of ₹9,356.15 crore and a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹445.18 crore for the period.
A key highlight from the filing is the divergence between standalone and consolidated performance. On a standalone basis, Godrej Agrovet recorded higher profit of ₹526.26 crore from revenue of ₹7,722.47 crore, indicating stronger performance in its core standalone operations.
The company's Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of 110%, which translates to ₹11 per equity share. This proposal is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The recommended dividend offers a direct return to shareholders.
In the past fiscal year (FY25), Godrej Agrovet experienced margin pressures in its animal feed segment due to increasing raw material costs. The company continues to focus on expanding its oil palm plantations, identifying this as a significant long-term growth driver for its agribusiness.
Additionally, 30,973 equity shares were allotted under the Employees Stock Grant Scheme 2018, leading to a small increase in the company's total equity share capital. Investors will be looking to management commentary in upcoming investor calls for insights into segment-specific performance drivers and the outlook for FY27.
Godrej Agrovet operates in diverse areas, including animal feed, crop protection, dairy, and oil palm plantations. Its key listed peers include crop protection firms like PI Industries Ltd. and UPL Ltd., and animal health provider Venky's (India) Ltd. These companies often show varied performance based on market conditions and global export demand.
Shareholders will vote on the proposed dividend at the 35th AGM on August 5, 2026, with payment expected by August 10, 2026. Future focus will be on the company's revenue growth strategies, margin performance, and progress on its oil palm expansion plans.
