For 2020-21, the company's PAT rose by 38.14 per cent to Rs 689.21 crore compared to Rs 498.90 crore the previous financial year.
Revenue from operations dropped marginally to Rs 5,128.69 crore in FY21 from Rs 5,162.42 crore in the previous fiscal.
"In spite of slight decrease in sales volume of fertilisers as well chemicals in Q4 FY21 as compared Q3 FY 21, the revenue from operations has gone up due to better realisation of industrial chemicals," Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals Managing Director Pankaj Joshi said.
Rise in demand from end-user industries and increasing per capita consumption are likely to support strong demand for chemicals, he added.
