Mumbai, April 15, 202
Ganesha Ecosphere Limited (GESL), India’s leading PET plastic recycling giant, has reinforced its market dominance with a strategic ₹2.45 crore investment in associate company Ganesha Recycling Chain Private Limited (GRCPL), even as its latest financial results reveal a stellar performance marked by soaring revenues and profitability. The dual announcements underscore GESL’s ambition to fortify its supply chain while capitalizing on global sustainability trends.
Strategic Investment: Securing Raw Material Footprint
GESL’s investment in GRCPL—a newly incorporated plastic recycling entity—aims to stabilize its supply of PET waste, a critical raw material for its recycled polyester products. By acquiring 245,000 equity shares at ₹100 each (₹90 premium), GESL retains a 49% stake in GRCPL, ensuring operational synergy without triggering a control shift. The move aligns with GESL’s vertical integration strategy, reducing dependency on external suppliers amid volatile raw material costs.
Financial Performance: A Surge in Profits and Revenues
GESL’s unaudited Q3FY25 results paint a picture of robust financial health, with consolidated revenues jumping 39.7% YoY to ₹397.8 crore. Profit After Tax (PAT) skyrocketed 134% YoY to ₹29.7 crore, driven by higher production volumes and improved realizations.
Consolidated Snapshot (Q3FY25 vs Q3FY24):
| Metric | Q3FY25 | Q3FY24 | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹397.8 Cr | ₹284.8 Cr | +39.7% |
| EBITDA | ₹56.5 Cr | ₹40.0 Cr | +41.3% |
| PAT | ₹29.7 Cr | ₹12.7 Cr | +134% |
| Production Volume* | 40,630 MT | 33,210 MT | +22.3% |
Nine-Month FY25 Highlights:
- Revenue surged 37.2% YoY to ₹1,121.2 crore.

Operational Efficiency and Challenges
GESL’s operational prowess shone through with 75% capacity utilization in rPET Granules and 90% in rPSF lines. However, challenges persist:
- Margin Pressures: Rising raw material costs and oversupply in the rPSF segment squeezed EBITDA/ton to ₹13.9k (vs ₹14.0k in Q2FY25).
- Export Growth: Exports rose 40% QoQ to ₹45.5 crore, signaling global demand for sustainable products.
- Renewable Energy Push: Installed 5.04 MWp solar capacity at its Warangal facility, aligning with ESG goals.
Future Roadmap: Sustainability and Expansion
GESL’s strategy hinges on high-value products and global outreach:
- Product Diversification: Launching Go Rewise, a premium brand offering FDA-approved rPET chips for packaging and textiles.
- Capacity Expansion: Targeting recycling 150,000+ MT of PET waste annually (8.5 billion bottles).
- Global Ambitions: Penetrating FMCG markets and partnering with sustainability-focused brands like Manjushree 2.0.
inancial Stability: Liquidity and Investments
Despite the GRCPL investment, GESL’s balance sheet remains sturdy:
- Liquidity: Generated ₹44.0 crore cash profits in Q3FY25 (vs ₹25.0 crore YoY).
- Debt Management: Finance costs fell to ₹10.53 crore (vs ₹12.76 crore YoY), reflecting prudent leverage.
Risks to Monitor:
- Raw material price volatility.
- Slow uptake in nascent segments like rFDY (expected to scale by Q1FY26).

With sustainability driving global demand, GESL’s integrated model, coupled with its 30+ years of expertise, makes it a compelling bet for investors eyeing the circular economy wave.
