Key takeaways
Management is mitigating sharp caustic soda price erosion through aggressive cost-efficiency and record volumes. High renewable energy mix (40%) and captive solar are insulating margins against commodity cycles.
| Management target | Revenue FY28 |
|---|
| Revenue growth | 14% YoY growth driven by volumes despite lower product realizations. |
|---|---|
| Margins | Resilient due to power cost reduction via 47MW solar capacity. |
| Demand visibility | Stable domestic demand; looking to exploit EU/UK FTA opportunities. |
| Management confidence | High; focusing on cost-leadership and pivot toward specialty chemicals. |
Growth
Revenue rose 14% YoY despite lower realizations, driven by a 9% volume jump in Caustic Soda and 40% in CPW.
Outlook
Management expects ₹550-600 Cr revenue for FY28 following the completion of ₹315 Cr capex by July 2027.
Risks
Continued global caustic soda price pressure and volatility in raw material costs like paraffin oil.
