Phillips Carbon Black Ltd (PCBL) is likely to commission its 32,000-tonne facility at Palej in Gujarat by Q3 FY21, while its greenfield project in South India will be “fast-tracked at an appropriate time”, it said in a notice to the bourses.
The company, part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group and the largest carbon black producer in the country, reported a near 3 per cent drop in net profit to about ₹72 crore for Q4 FY20, against ₹74 crore in the previous-year period.
Revenue from operations rose 24 per cent to ₹700 crore (₹921 crore).
For the full fiscal, revenue from operations saw an 8 per cent YoY decline to ₹3,244 crore while net profit saw a 27 per cent decline to ₹283 crore. The results come in the backdrop of continued global recession in the automobile industry, further aggravated by a pandemic, PCBL said.
“An interim dividend at 350 per cent, i.e. ₹7 per equity share of ₹2 each, which was declared by the board of directors at its meeting held on February 13, 2020, shall be considered the final dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2020,” it said in the notice to the bourses.

A letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.
Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.
In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.
We are trying our best to ensure the newspaper reaches your hands every day. We have also ensured that even if your paper is not delivered, you can access BusinessLine in the e-paper format – just as it appears in print. Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.
But all this comes at a heavy cost. As you are aware, the lockdowns have wiped out almost all our entire revenue stream. Sustaining our quality journalism has become extremely challenging. That we have managed so far is thanks to your support. I thank all our subscribers – print and digital – for your support.
I appeal to all or readers to help us navigate these challenging times and help sustain one of the truly independent and credible voices in the world of Indian journalism. Doing so is easy. You can help us enormously simply by subscribing to our digital or e-paper editions. We offer several affordable subscription plans for our website, which includes Portfolio, our investment advisory section that offers rich investment advice from our highly qualified, in-house Research Bureau, the only such team in the Indian newspaper industry.
