Karachi: Ghani Chemical Industries Limited has reported a substantial rise in profit for the fiscal year 2025, buoyed by increased sales and strategic expansions in its operations. The company's profit after tax surged to 2.02 billion, marking a significant move compared to the 786 million recorded in the previous fiscal year. This financial achievement comes in the wake of several strategic initiatives undertaken by the company.

For the fiscal year ending November 19, 2025, Ghani Chemical's net sales increased markedly to 7.44 billion from the 5.44 billion reported in the previous year. The gross profit followed suit, almost doubling to 3.41 billion from 1.61 billion in the last fiscal year. The company has attributed this growth to its recent commercial operations at the Hattar Special Economic Zone (HSEZ) and the cost efficiencies achieved there. The operations at HSEZ, which began in April 2025, are tax-exempt and utilize the most cost-efficient air separation unit (ASU) plant compared to existing units in the region.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Ghani Chemical has also been making inroads into the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector. The company is setting up a 450 metric ton LPG storage and filling plant at Phool Nagar, District Kasur. This project is managed by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ghani Gases (Private) Limited, and has received a license from the Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) in Islamabad. Construction is slated to commence once the necessary approvals from the Explosive Department are secured.

The company's earnings per share (EPS) saw a very large move to 3.92 from 1.58, reflecting enhanced shareholder value. Ghani Chemical's financial position remains robust, with shareholder equity standing at 9.20 billion, despite a slight decrease from the previous year. Non-current liabilities decreased significantly to 2.32 billion, while current liabilities rose to 4.73 billion.

With these strategic expansions and a focus on increasing operational efficiency, Ghani Chemical Industries Limited is poised for continued growth. The company anticipates that its combined initiatives will drive a substantial increase in financial results in the forthcoming periods. Such developments underscore the company's commitment to enhancing shareholder value and expanding its footprint in the industrial and medical gases market.
