The company cited pressure on pricing and input cost volatility as the primary factors that impacted its operating margins and led to the decline in revenue and operating profit.

However, total income remained flat at Rs 16,933.64 crore, slightly declining from Rs 16,981.31 crore in the previous year.

The dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) and is expected to be paid within 30 days of declaration.

RCF’s shares closed at Rs 156.45 on Tuesday, just ahead of the earnings announcement. The company is among the largest producers of fertilisers and industrial chemicals in India, with multiple manufacturing units across the country.
