AI summary

Himadri Speciality Chemical has started commercial production of a new 70,000 MTPA Speciality Carbon Black line at its Mahistikry facility in Hooghly, West Bengal, effective 24 February 2026. This is the completion of a brownfield expansion first announced in April 2024. With this addition, the company's total Carbon Black capacity rises to 2,50,000 MTPA, including 1,30,000 MTPA of Speciality Carbon Black at Mahistikry. The company claims Mahistikry is now the single largest Speciality Carbon Black manufacturing site at a single location globally. Management expects the new capacity to strengthen its speciality portfolio and support future revenue growth.

Likely market impact

Positive for shareholders — the 70,000 MTPA capacity addition directly boosts production capability and revenue potential in the higher-margin speciality carbon black segment, though near-term stock reaction will depend on demand absorption and pricing.
