Profitability Margins

Gross margins in the pharma regulatory export market are targeted at nearly 200%. Standalone PAT margin improved significantly from 3.96% in FY24 to 7.08% in FY25 due to operational leverage and better realizations in the chemicals segment.

EBITDA Margin

Capital Expenditure

The company invested significantly in a new pharma plant with advanced instrumentation and labs. Recent incremental capacity expansion is expected to generate INR 50-75 Cr in additional annual revenue once fully operational.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

CARE Ratings reaffirmed the long-term rating at 'CARE A; Stable' and short-term rating at 'CARE A1' for bank facilities totaling INR 91 Cr as of October 2025.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Import Sources

Not specifically disclosed, though the company mentions strengthening supply stability by controlling part of its raw material sourcing and integrating operations in-house.

Capacity Expansion

Current plants are operating at 95% utilization. Planned incremental capacity is expected to add INR 50-75 Cr to annual revenue at current price levels, signaling a shift toward specialty segments.
