The Fertilisers And Chemicals Travancore Limited — Cyborg Score 6/10
Solid
Fertilizers & Agrochemicals (Materials sector)
Strategic Profile
Operating under the administrative control of the Department of Fertilizers, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Government of India, FACT benefits from government oversight and strategic importance in India's agricultural supply chain. Recent production milestones include 20% growth in Ammonium Sulphate sales and a 247% surge in MOP sales, demonstrating strong market positioning in core fertilizer segments.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Net profit rose 86.58% and sales rose 12.47% in Q2 FY26, signaling operational momentum. However, high net debt of ₹15.8B and a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 8.5 are concerns, though interest coverage of 3.3 suggests manageable debt risks. The company maintains operational strength but faces capital structure challenges.
