Sarda Energy & Minerals Ltd has reported a stellar financial performance for FY26, with EBITDA crossing the Rs 2,000 crore milestone. The company achieved a 58% year-on-year growth in Profit After Tax (PAT) to Rs 1,109 crore. Driven by strong energy segment contributions and record production levels, the firm has announced its highest-ever dividend at 200%, reflecting its successful transition into a scalable, diversified energy and mining powerhouse.
Financial Performance Highlights
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company maintained steady revenue at Rs 1,258 crore. Notable improvements in operational momentum pushed EBITDA up by 11% year-on-year to Rs 352 crore. The net profit for the quarter saw a significant jump of 53%, reaching Rs 155 crore compared to Rs 101 crore in the same period last year.
Operational Milestones
The company achieved its highest-ever annual production across key product lines, including Sponge Iron, Iron Ore Pellets, HB Wires, and coal. The energy segment has emerged as the primary growth driver, contributing two-thirds of the total FY26 EBITDA. This performance marks a successful strategic shift over the past five years, transforming the business into a diversified energy and mining entity with lower cyclicality and stronger cash flows.
Strategic Outlook and Expansion
Following the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the resolution plan for SKS Power Generation (Chhattisgarh) Ltd, the company is set to scale its operations significantly. Management aims to double its operational energy capacity over the medium term, with plans to expand to 4×300 MW by FY30. This expansion, bolstered by the recent acquisition of a 66 MW hydropower project in Arunachal Pradesh, positions the company to leverage India’s long-term industrial growth.
