Speaking on the performance, Mr Anand Desai, Managing Director, Anupam Rasayan commented, "The chemical industry continues to face headwinds impacting our performance for the quarter. This, coupled with client off-taking minimum required quantities to manage their year-end working capital has led to degrowth in our revenues for the quarter. Even during such difficult times, we have been able to maintain our margins steady at 28% for the 9MFY24 on consolidated basis.
I am happy to inform you that, during the quarter, we signed a Letter of Intent worth $61 Mn i.e. INR 507 crores for next 9 years with one of the leading Japanese Chemical companies to supply new age polymer intermediate. I firmly believe that our Japan business will see strong growth in the coming years and will likely to become a major business centre for Anupam.
A next step forward in our sustainability journey, the company has decided to invest INR 59 crores towards setting up of 9.6 MW hybrid (Wind plus Solar) power plant. Post completion of this capex, 65% of the company's electricity consumption will be from green energy.
Overall, I believe FY24 will be a challenging year for the industry but with a resilient and a robust business model like ours, I am confident that FY25 will be a year of demand resurgence and strong growth."
