Annual Financial Performance
For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, Godfrey Phillips India Limited achieved a total standalone income of ₹958,314 lakhs, compared to ₹717,243 lakhs in the previous year. The standalone net profit for the year stood at ₹150,748 lakhs, demonstrating significant growth from the ₹104,320 lakhs recorded in the previous fiscal year. Consolidated results also showed strong momentum, with an annual net profit of ₹152,602 lakhs.
Dividend Recommendation
Reflecting the company’s strong financial health, the Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of 1650%, which translates to ₹33 per equity share (face value of ₹2 each). This is subject to approval by the shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. This dividend payout is part of a total dividend distribution for the year, following an earlier interim dividend of ₹17 per share.
Operational Highlights
The core business, Cigarettes, Tobacco and related Products, remains the primary driver of revenue, contributing ₹900,820 lakhs to the annual segment revenue. Despite challenges, including a fire incident at a third-party tobacco processing plant in October 2025, the company has confirmed that operations have resumed and expects to fully recover losses through insurance claims. The management noted that changes in the indirect tax structure effective February 1, 2026, have influenced the composition of revenue and inventory valuation for the final quarter.
Strategic Business Updates
The company successfully completed its exit from the 24Seven retail business division, which was previously classified as a discontinued operation. Moving forward, the company remains focused on strengthening its core tobacco operations while monitoring the impact of new labour codes notified by the Government of India in November 2025.
