4. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
F.Y. 2024-2025

I. Industry Structure & Development: -

The chemical industry serves as a fundamental
pillar of the global economy and acts as a key
enabler for various sectors. From electronics
and paints to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics,
chemicals are integral across diverse
applications, making them essential for the
sustainable development of multiple industries.

In the Indian context, the chemical industry holds
a prominent position in the nation's economic
growth. Among its various sub-segments,
specialty chemicals represent a high-growth,
innovation-driven category characterized by
low-volume, high-value chemical formulations
that are tailored for specific end uses.

Specialty chemicals are distinguished by their
performance or functional attributes rather
than just their chemical composition. These
products demand deep technical knowledge,
consistent innovation, and a customer-centric
development approach. The specialty chemical
segment continues to gain strategic importance,
both domestically and globally, due to its
application-driven nature and strong end-user
focus.

The Company operates in the specialty chemicals
segment, catering to niche requirements across
a broad spectrum of industries. We specialize in
the manufacture and sale of a diverse range of
customized and specially formulated chemical
products, addressing the evolving needs of
sectors such as Home and Personal Care,
Industrial Formulations, Paints and Coatings,
Agrochemicals & Lubricants and Additives.

We serve a wide base of reputed customers
across India and in international markets,
including the Americas, Europe, and the Far
East. Our clients operate in a multitude of
industries, including but not limited to Metal
Treatment, Wire Enamels and Insulation, PVC
Stabilizers, Inks and Coatings, Agrochemicals
and Fertilizers, Plastics, Polymers, and Rubber,
Textile Processing, Latex Products and Tyres,
Home and Personal Care, Cosmetic and
Detergent Formulations.

Our continued focus on product innovation,
customization, and deep industry understanding
enables us to consistently meet the dynamic
requirements of our clients. As industries evolve
and demand more efficient, sustainable, and
specialized solutions, the Company remains
committed to delivering high-performance
chemical products that create value across the
supply chain.

Details of the Company's main products and its
end use applications are as below:

Overall, the company had a strong year, mainly
driven by growth in the domestic market.

The company saw strong growth in Ethoxylates
and Antioxidant-based products due to higher
demand and better pricing.

III. Outlook

The global specialty chemicals industry
continues to experience uncertainty due to
geopolitical tensions, trade wars, and evolving
tariff structures. These factors have disrupted
supply chains and increased the cost of key
raw materials. However, they have also
created new opportunities especially for Indian
manufacturers.

As many global companies look for alternatives
to other suppliers, India is emerging as top
choice for sourcing and manufacturing specialty
chemicals, as it opens up new chances to sell
our products internationally and strengthen our
position in the global market.

In India, the demand for specialty chemicals
is strong. The Company is well-positioned to
meet this demand with a focus on innovation,
customer partnerships, and operational
excellence.

To make the most of these opportunities, the
Company is increasing the local sourcing of
materials, expanding our production capacity,
and investing in research and development to
create specialized products. Additionally, we
are making efforts to improve our supply chain
flexibility, reducing dependence on volatile
international markets. Supportive government
policies, infrastructure development, and a
growing focus on 'Make in India' are further
strengthening the outlook for our sector.
While we remain cautious of ongoing global
challenges, we are confident in our ability
to navigate this environment and deliver
sustainable growth.

The Company remains committed to creating
long-term value for stakeholders through
strategic investments, efficient operations, and
responsible growth.

Our products continue to be well received
by some of the world's leading users of
specialty chemicals across a variety of
industrial applications. The Company has been
recognized as a reputable and dependable
supplier to many Indian and global consumers
of specialty products developed in-house.

IV. Risks and Concerns

The specialty chemicals industry is facing
significant risks due to ongoing tariff wars and
global conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war
and tensions in the Middle East. These situations
have led to rising prices for raw materials and
supply chain disruptions. The ongoing trade
disputes between major economies, have
made it harder to predict costs and access key
materials. As a result, the cost of producing
chemicals has increased, and the overall market
has become more uncertain.

The Company is fully aware of these challenges
and has put in place a Risk Management
Framework to identify, assess, and reduce
the impact of these risks. The management
regularly reviews and discusses both current
and potential future risks, especially related
to tariffs, trade policies, and supply chain
instability. Effective risk management is crucial
for the success of the Company, and we take
continuous corrective actions to address any
issues.

A key risk we face is the availability of critical
raw materials, such as Ethylene Oxide (EO),
which is essential for producing several of our
products. Currently, EO is only supplied by
a single manufacturer in the country, so any
disruption to its supply could have a major
impact on production.

The Company is also committed to ensuring the
health and safety of its employees, customers,
and the surrounding community. Some of
our raw materials are hazardous, and there
are inherent safety risks in the manufacturing
process. To address these risks, we have
implemented strict safety measures, equipment,
and procedures that meet global safety standards
and legal requirements.

V. Internal Financials Controls and their adequacy

The Company has put in place internal checks
and controls to ensure smooth and efficient
operations, and these are continuously being
improved. These controls are designed to

ensure that the business runs in an orderly
manner, follows company policies, protects its
assets, prevents and detects fraud and errors,
maintains accurate accounting records, and
provides reliable financial information on
time. The internal and statutory auditors have
reviewed the effectiveness of the internal
financial controls. Based on their assessments,
the Board believes that the internal financial
controls are working well and that there are no
significant weaknesses.
