āš™ļø Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Alpha pine and gum turpentine account for 60-70% of total raw material costs. Camphor prices also significantly impact realizations.

Import Sources

Raw materials are largely imported from Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and Europe.

The company is the largest domestic camphor manufacturer; future performance is supported by enhanced capacities, with capital work-in-progress increasing from INR 4 Cr in FY24 to INR 30 Cr in FY25.

Raw Material Costs

Cost of materials consumed was INR 312.47 Cr in FY25 (58.9% of revenue), up 20.7% from INR 258.93 Cr in FY24. Procurement strategies involve building inventory for the peak season (July to December).

Manufacturing Efficiency

EBITDA margin of 14.75% was achieved in Q1 FY26 through better absorption of fixed assets and stabilization of raw material prices.

Logistics & Distribution

Not explicitly disclosed; however, the company operates 8+ branches to manage its 100+ product portfolio.

šŸ“ˆ Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

14.30%

Growth Strategy

Growth is driven by expanding the margin-remunerative retail segment (Mangalam and CamPure brands), ramping up enhanced manufacturing capacities, and diversifying into terpene and rosin derivatives.

Products & Services

Camphor, terpene derivatives, rosin derivatives, and FMCG products including camphor cones, sticks, and religious puja products.

Brand Portfolio

Mangalam, CamPure.

New Products/Services

The company offers 100+ products; recent focus is on expanding the retail FMCG portfolio which now contributes 38% of revenue.

Market Expansion

Market Share & Ranking

One of the largest players in the domestic camphor manufacturing business with the highest capacity among peers.

šŸŒ External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is shifting toward branded retail camphor products; Mangalam is positioning itself by increasing its retail revenue share from 16% to 38% in two years.

Competitive Landscape

Intense competition in the camphor segment constrains scalability and exerts pressure on profitability margins.

Competitive Moat

Moat is based on being the largest domestic producer with 40+ years of experience and strong brand equity in 'Mangalam' and 'CamPure', though it is challenged by raw material price volatility.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to global commodity prices for pine chemicals and domestic consumer demand for religious and home care FMCG products.

Consumer Behavior

Increasing consumer preference for branded, high-quality camphor and home care products is driving retail segment growth.

Geopolitical Risks

Trade barriers or supply disruptions from Indonesia, Brazil, or Russia could impact raw material availability and costs.

āš–ļø Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Subject to chemical manufacturing standards and pollution control norms; raw material imports are subject to international trade regulations.

Taxation Policy Impact

Effective tax rate was approximately 24.7% in FY25, with a total tax expense of INR 4.11 Cr on PBT of INR 16.61 Cr.

āš ļø Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Volatility in raw material prices (Alpha pine/Gum turpentine) and the successful ramp-up of enhanced capacities are the primary business risks.

Geographic Concentration Risk

Significant supply chain concentration in Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and Europe for critical raw materials.

Third Party Dependencies

High dependency on international suppliers for 60-70% of input requirements.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

Low risk in core terpene chemistry, but requires continuous efficiency improvements to remain competitive against peers.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Trade receivables stood at INR 69 Cr (47 days) in FY25, indicating moderate credit risk from retail and industrial clients.
