Chemplast Sanmar, a prominent player in the specialty chemicals industry, has announced plans to invest \u20b9340 crore in a new greenfield project aimed at producing R32 refrigerant gas. R32 is gaining popularity due to its lower global warming potential compared to conventional refrigerants, making it an increasingly favored option in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) and cooling systems globally. The company sees this project as a key step in expanding its footprint in the specialty chemicals market.<\/p>\n

Chemplast Sanmar reported a net loss of \u20b954 crore for Q4 FY25, which represents an increase from the \u20b931 crore loss in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. Despite the increased loss, the company achieved a notable improvement in its EBITDA, which rose to \u20b937 crore from \u20b921 crore in Q4 FY24. Revenue from operations also showed a solid performance, growing 10% to \u20b91,151 crore from \u20b91,051 crore year-on-year, driven by increased demand and production capacity.<\/p>\n

For FY25, Chemplast Sanmar reported a decline in its net loss to \u20b9110 crore, compared to \u20b9158 crore in FY24. This reduction in loss was accompanied by a growth in revenue, which increased by 11% to \u20b94,346 crore, up from \u20b93,923 crore in FY24. The growth in revenue was driven by the ramp-up of new specialty chemicals production capacities at the company\u2019s facilities in Cuddalore and Berigai in Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n

Chemplast Sanmar saw a significant improvement in its EBITDA, which grew from \u20b926 crore to \u20b9219 crore for FY25. The increase was primarily driven by better pricing and margins in both Paste PVC and Suspension PVC, especially during the first quarter of FY25. Additionally, the company\u2019s Custom Manufactured Chemicals (CMC) segment showed robust growth, contributing significantly to the overall performance. The higher output from the new Cuddalore Paste PVC facility further supported this positive EBITDA trend.<\/p>\n

Despite the positive performance in some segments, Chemplast Sanmar\u2019s profitability continues to be hampered by the dumping of both Suspension and Paste PVC into India, especially from the European Union. The company has raised concerns about the adverse effect of these imports on domestic pricing. While anti-dumping duties (ADD) have been imposed on Paste PVC imports from certain countries, the continued dumping from the EU is still putting pressure on pricing. The company is currently awaiting the outcome of investigations into the matter, which are expected in the coming months. The case for ADD on Suspension PVC remains unresolved, with ongoing legal proceedings.<\/p>\n
