Revenue guidance

Category 3

  • Chemical Distribution business poised for better performance with strong supplier support and stable international logistics aiding higher sales and good margins.
  • Existing manufacturing volumes expected to increase supported by healthy margins and supplier relationships.
  • Capacity expansions planned but dependent on statutory approvals; capacity increases can be implemented relatively quickly once approvals are in place.
  • Polyacrylamide Solid product expected to start revenue generation in FY26 with initial capacity of 10,000 MT, estimating ~₹250 crore at full utilization.
  • Larger customers (mostly multinational companies) dominate sales; allocations from big customers increasing gradually, indicating potential for high order volumes.
  • Margins seen to have room for expansion as Chinese market stabilizes and logistics improvements continue.
  • Uncertainty remains due to market variables, but company optimistic about stable or improving demand and pricing conditions.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Revenue growth is expected mainly from existing manufacturing products this year, with new products and ventures contributing from next year (FY26 onwards).
  • Polyacrylamide solid product manufacturing revenue expected to start in FY26, with potential full capacity revenue around ₹250 crore.
  • Margins have more than doubled recently; there is headroom for margin expansion, especially as Chinese market conditions improve and logistics issues ease.
  • Growth in volumes and margins expected as suppliers support volume increases and demand picks up globally and domestically.
  • Efforts to add new products and expand distribution reach in new geographies will support top-line growth.
  • Capital expenditure is moderate (~₹35-40 crore), supporting sustainable high ROIC due to low CapEx intensity.
  • Approval and trial timelines make exact timing uncertain; the company remains cautiously optimistic but avoids definitive forecasts.
  • Overall EPS growth is anticipated due to volume increase, margin improvement, and operational leverage.
