GACL to Acquire 26% Stake in FPEL Bhanu for ~39 MW Captive Wind-Solar Hybrid Project
Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) has executed Share Purchase and Shareholders' Agreements to acquire a 26% equity stake in FPEL Bhanu Private Limited, an SPV of Fourth Partner Energy. The SPV will set up a captive wind-solar hybrid power project in Gujarat featuring 19.8 MW wind and approximately 25 MWp (19.25 MW AC) solar capacity. The acquisition of shares is cash-based at face value, with future equity investments to be funded in a 26:74 ratio. The entire power generated will be consumed captively by GACL to optimize power costs for its energy-intensive chlor-alkali operations.

CARE Downgrades GACL Long-Term Rating to 'AA-' on Weak Financial Performance
CARE Ratings has downgraded Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited's (GACL) long-term rating from 'CARE AA; Stable' to 'CARE AA-; Stable'. The downgrade follows two consecutive years of lower-than-expected financial performance, with TTM PAT dropping to just Rs 6 Cr on a revenue of Rs 4,358 Cr. The agency cited moderate caustic soda prices, negative chlorine realizations, and a slower-than-envisaged ramp-up of the GNAL joint venture as primary reasons. While Q1FY27 showed some margin improvement, the sustainability of this recovery remains uncertain due to industry cyclicality.

The downgrade follows a review of FY26 audited and Q1FY27 unaudited performance, reflecting a period of thin profitability with TTM PAT at just Rs 6 Cr. Short-term ratings for bank facilities (Rs 339.50 Cr) and Commercial Paper (Rs 100 Cr) were reaffirmed at 'CARE A1+'.

GUJALKALI reported a strong turnaround in Q1 FY27, achieving its highest-ever quarterly revenue of ₹1,224.84 Cr, a 14% YoY increase. EBITDA surged 83% to ₹229 Cr, while Profit Before Tax (PBT) jumped 1000% to ₹110 Cr from ₹10 Cr YoY. This performance was driven by product mix optimization, new export markets, and a significant increase in renewable energy usage, which now accounts for 59% of the power basket. Additionally, the board approved a ₹55 Cr HCL synthesis unit to improve chlorine utilization.
