Shares of Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals surged over 6 percent in Friday's trade after the company reported a strong set of March quarter earnings, supported by healthy growth in both profit and revenue.


The stock was trading at Rs 451.15, up Rs 26.55, or 6.25 percent, in afternoon trade on May 15.

For the quarter ended March 2026, Chambal Fertilisers reported a 29.8 percent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 169.26 crore, compared with Rs 130.36 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.

Revenue from operations rose 13.7 percent to Rs 2,785.03 crore from Rs 2,448.73 crore a year ago.

On a full-year basis, the company posted an 18.4 percent increase in net profit at Rs 1,953.39 crore for FY26, compared with Rs 1,649.51 crore in FY25. Annual revenue climbed nearly 25 percent to Rs 20,793.66 crore, against Rs 16,646.20 crore in the previous financial year.

Meanwhile, a Reuters report said that India is set to import a record 1.35 million metric tonnes of diammonium phosphate (DAP) in a single tender as disruptions in fertiliser supplies linked to the Iran conflict push New Delhi to secure larger inventories. The purchases-equivalent to nearly a quarter of India's annual DAP imports-are expected to tighten global supplies further and keep international prices firm amid rising energy and freight costs.

Indian Potash Ltd (IPL) has agreed to buy 765,000 tonnes of DAP at $930 per tonne on a cost-and-freight basis for delivery to India's west coast, along with another 581,500 tonnes at $935 per tonne for the east coast, according to government sources. IPL had initially floated a tender in April for 1.2 million tonnes but eventually raised procurement volumes after multiple suppliers matched the lowest offer stock.
