Analysis: Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited

NSE:MANGCHEFER Fertilisers Market cap: ₹3.7K cr

Growth thesis

Mangalore Chemicals produces urea and NP/NPK fertilizers, targeting southern and western India. The 300 tpd sulfuric acid plant (August 2025) will reduce urea energy use by 0.25 GCal/ton, stabilizing EBITDA per ton near ₹6,000 despite stricter energy norms from November 2025. A merger with Paradeep Phosphates (NCLT hearings 12–20 Aug 2025) will unlock 1 mtpa NPK expansion and backward integration in phosphoric acid, boosting blended capacity to 4.4 lt urea and 4+ lt phosphatics by FY26. FY26 guidance targets 4.4–4.5 lt urea output and 3.25 lt phosphatics, with a 600k tpa NPK plant under board evaluation (2-month approval timeline). Subsidy disbursements are now timely, reducing working-capital drag. Execution hinges on merger closure and sulfuric acid plant commissioning to spread fixed costs over higher volumes.
