Revenue jumped 36% to Rs 6,124 crore, driven by a 4% increase in sales volumes to 9.85 lakh tonnes. EBITDA rose 24% to Rs 764 crore, and profit before tax climbed 24% to Rs 526 crore.

The board also approved a Rs 250-crore investment to set up an aluminium fluoride plant at Paradeep, part of a strategy to diversify into industrial chemicals and reduce reliance on subsidy-dependent products. ## Coverage - thehindubusinessline.com Tags: aluminium fluoride, fertiliser sector, industrial chemicals, Paradeep Phosphates, profit growth, Q1 results Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/paradeep-phosphates-q1-net-profit-up-24-to-rs-393-cr/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
