Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Kothari Petrochemicals has declared a force majeure event because of supply disruptions caused by the ongoing geopolitical situation in the Middle East. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has directed refineries to prioritize domestic LPG supply and suspend feedstock supplies to downstream industries, which has constrained the company's raw material availability. The company has informed its industrial customers about restrictions on contracted quantities under existing agreements. The financial impact cannot be estimated at this stage, and the company has committed to providing further updates as the situation develops.
Near-term production and revenue are likely to be hit due to restricted raw material supply, though the force majeure declaration may shield the company from contractual penalties. Shareholders should expect uncertainty in the short term until gas supply normalizes.
