INTENSIFYING: Management noted that intense Chinese competition and pricing pressures continue to persist in the Agchem sector, potentially eroding volume recoveries. (1 intensifying)
“I think the Chinese intense competition, which we've talked about before, continues to remain, pressure on pricing remains...”

“We raised INR750 crores... The proceeds from this fundraising will be deployed towards strengthening our balance sheet.”

“Operating EBITDA Margin 28.51% [vs] 19.16%... Raw Material 307.71 [vs] 230.39”
