Capex plans
Yes- NGL Fine-Chem is undertaking a new Greenfield plant investment aimed largely at regulated markets (Europe and US), with a total CAPEX of approximately Rs. 140-150 crores.

- Outsourcing is increasing to address supply gaps and support volume growth, with related costs rising correspondingly.
