The company achieved record sales volumes in C-PVC, synthetic iron oxide pigments (SIOP), and synthetic rutile. C-PVC capacity expanded from 20,000 to 50,000 tons, commissioned on time and within budget.

Specialty chemicals segment EBITDA at Rs.177 crores (down 6.5%) with 30% margins, while basic chemicals EBITDA improved 1.8x to Rs.54 crores.
FY27 EBITDA target of Rs.400 crores has been derailed due to ongoing pricing pressures in specialty chemicals.

Growth CAPEX plans are on hold pending geopolitical clarity, with focus remaining on specialty chemicals expansion.
