BUSINESS OUTLOOK & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The Specialty chemicals industry enters 2026 at a critical and increasingly competitive juncture, characterised by persistent overcapacity, uneven demand recovery across key end-use sectors and continued volatility in raw material and energy costs. In this evolving environment, companies are under growing pressure to improve operational efficiency, strengthen supply chain resilience, and adapt to changing customer and regulatory expectations while maintaining profitability and long-term growth.

Within this changing landscape, your Company is well-positioned to capitalise on evolving market trends. With strong research and development capabilities, strategic global partnerships, and a firm commitment to sustainability, the Company continues to drive innovation and long-term value creation. The strategic priorities for your Company remain to be focused on geographic expansion across core divisions/businesses, launching novel products within key chemistries like surfactants, phenoxy series and performance chemicals, strengthening partnerships to increase wallet share and enhance customer engagement.

Overall, we remain committed to building the business with a clear focus on growth and long-term value creation. The strategic steps we have taken across capacity expansion, portfolio development, customer relationships, exports and international initiatives are steadily strengthening the foundation of the business. We believe these efforts are putting the right building blocks in place to significantly accelerate growth over the next 2 to 3 years. As we move forward, our focus will remain on disciplined execution, strengthening our market position and building a more scalable and resilient platform for future growth.

A key area of focus for us continues to be Research and Development (R&D) and innovation. We are gradually evolving from a formulation-led approach towards developing broader platform technologies with multi-vertical applicability, enabling more scalable and differentiated solutions across end-use segments. During the year, this translated into meaningful progress in product development and application-led innovation, with newer products contributing increasingly to the business and sustainable chemistries. To further strengthen this capability, the

Company has set up a new R&D Facility at Navi Mumbai located at Ellora Olearise, A-786, 06th Floor, Khairane MIDC, Koparkhairane, Navi Mumbai - 400 710. The establishment of this new R&D Facility is a key component of the Company's commitment to provide a stronger platform for innovation, product development, and application-led research, while also improving collaboration and supporting faster scale-up of new technologies in line with our long-term growth priorities.
