The company said that there is sustained growth of Indian pharma industry on account of ‘China Plus One’ business strategy being adopted by western companies and price realizations have also continued to remain healthy. It is also exporting a few of its products from its subsidary and Morpholine to China, which previously used to get dumped in India.
The prices of Dimethyl Formamide (DMF) have risen sharply because of supply-demand mismatch, leading to improved capacity utilization of our DMF plant.

The company said, “The prospects of agrochemicals look robust on account of improved overall dynamics for agriculture sector in terms of highest water storage across reservoirs for last five years and increased acreage under cultivation. This should bode well for improved performance for our subsidiary company in coming quarters.”
