Not disclosed in available documents, though the company notes management decisions to restrict supply to domestic markets due to subdued pricing in Chinese and South-East Asian markets.
Profitability Margins
Gross Revenue reached INR 9,052 Cr in FY25, up 13.9% from INR 7,944 Cr in FY24. PAT margin improved to 6.5% in H1FY26 from 5.7% in H1FY25. Net profit for FY25 was INR 180 Cr compared to INR 152 Cr in FY24, a 18.4% increase.

Credit Rating & Borrowing
Credit rating maintained by CARE Ratings with an 'Adequate' liquidity profile. Interest coverage ratio was 3.15x in 9MFY25. Finance costs increased 23.7% YoY to INR 94 Cr in H1FY26 due to higher debt for capex.
Operational Drivers

Import Sources
Sourced domestically within India, particularly from states like Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand for distillery operations.
Capacity Expansion
Distillery capacity is being enhanced with a capex of INR 365 Cr over two years. The New Specialities Unit (NSU) is currently ramping up operations as of Q2FY26 to drive future revenue.
Raw Material Costs
BSPC segment profitability is susceptible to the spread between glycol products and ethyl alcohol. PS segment margins were previously impacted by sharp escalations in ethanol and material costs.
Manufacturing Efficiency
EBITDA margin expansion of 216 bps in Q2FY26 indicates improved operational efficiency and better product mix.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
11-14%

External Factors
Industry Trends
The Indian chemical industry is expected to grow to USD 300 billion by 2025. The liquor industry shows strong potential with volumes of 350 million cases, while the government's ethanol blending mandate is driving the Biofuel segment.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with traditional petrochemical-based glycol producers and other distillery-based chemical companies in India.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on green technology-based manufacturing (bio-based vs petro-based) and a strong market position in the regulated liquor industry in North India. Sustainability is driven by the global shift toward renewable chemicals.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to global chemical cycles and crude oil prices which affect substitute glycol pricing.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward premiumization in the Potable Spirits segment and increasing demand for sustainable/green chemicals in global supply chains.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade tensions and global supply chain shifts (China+1) are benefiting the Indian chemical sector, though subdued demand in China currently pressures export volumes.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Highly regulated liquor industry where states control production, sales, and duty structures. Ethanol prices for OMCs are also subject to government mandates.
Environmental Compliance
Focus on green technology-based chemicals; specific ESG costs not disclosed.
Taxation Policy Impact
Tax expenses for H1FY26 were INR 36 Cr on a PBT of INR 174 Cr, representing an effective tax rate of approximately 20.7%.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Volatility in the spread between ethyl alcohol and glycol prices; potential introduction of prohibition laws in key states; and the successful ramp-up of the NSU unit.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High concentration in North India (Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand) for the Potable Spirits and Biofuel segments.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on state governments for liquor pricing and OMCs for ethanol procurement.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Low risk due to the company's focus on green/bio-based chemistry which is currently a growing global trend.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Adequate liquidity with scheduled repayments of INR 255 Cr in FY25 being met by expected cash accruals of INR 330-350 Cr.
