Growth and Expansion

At SRF, we balance our commitment to sustainable operations and expansion across our business verticals. We carefully allocate capital to sustain growth projects while preserving sufficient liquidity to navigate changing economic conditions. During the year, we have also strengthened our technical capabilities and deepened our expertise in chemical processes.

In FY25, we invested more than ₹ 1,095.68 Crores in brownfield projects across all business lines, including a sizeable amount of CAPEX in Chemical Business and Performance Films & Foil Business facilities. The expansions include construction of fourth generation refrigeration plant in our Dahej facility and BOPP – BOPE Film (including Metalliser) plant at our Indore facility. These strategic investments have enabled us to enter new markets, pursue innovative opportunities, and significantly enhance our value proposition. Concurrently, we undertook cost optimisation initiatives to ensure the seamless and efficient operation of our plants. These measures led to enhanced cost efficiency, improved resource utilisation, and contributed positively to our overall financial performance.

Our Performance

In FY25, we delivered robust financial results, recording a total turnover of ₹ 14,693.07 Crores – an increase of over 11% compared to FY24. Our profitability remained strong, underpinned by operational excellence, with EBITDA of ₹ 2,970.33 Crores and Profit After Tax (PAT) standing at ₹ 1,250.78 Crores. Our Earnings per Share stood at ₹ 42.2 for the year, reinforcing the consistency of our returns and our commitment to create long-term shareholder value. During the year, we also issued two interim dividends of ₹ 3.60 per share each.

Business-wise Performance

Our growth journey has been shaped by consistent contributions of each of our businesses, all driven by focussed strategies and a sharp responsiveness to market needs. In recent years, the consistent performance across our three core businesses has underscored the resilience and strength of our diversified portfolio. The EBIT of our Performance Films & Foil Business increased by 76% in FY25 compared to the previous year. This strong performance underscores the effectiveness of our long-term strategy and highlights our continued commitment to creating sustainable value across economic cycles.
