1. ABS debottlenecking to 100,000 TPA - A ₹200 crore brownfield expansion, fully funded from internal accruals, lifts ABS capacity from 75,000 to 100,000 TPA with commissioning targeted by September 2026. The incremental 25,000 TPA removes the capacity ceiling that has kept the company at optimum utilisation for three years, allowing volume to grow without debt.
2. 2X profit jump guided post-expansion - Management projects that the capacity increase to 100,000 TPA, combined with a richer mix of specialty grades, will deliver an estimated 2X year-on-year profit increase with benefits visible from FY28 onwards. The step-change in earnings is tied to a funded, near-dated capacity event rather than a distant ambition.
3. Nippon A&L JV specialty shift - The 50:50 JV with Nippon A&L Inc. provides proprietary formulations and continuous recipe development support, enabling the move from commoditised ABS into high-value specialty polymers. A richer product mix lifts realisations and margins without requiring additional tonnes.
4. Import substitution runway - Imports still meet 30-40% of Indian ABS demand, and policy protection through import monitoring and potential anti-dumping duties shields local producers. The supply-demand gap gives a domestic player adding capacity a ready market without having to displace existing competitors.
5. Formula-based revenue floor - Nearly 50% of the business operates on formula-based pricing, insulating earnings from global commodity swings. Stable unit margins on half the book make the volume uplift from debottlenecking more predictable.
