Anand Desai, managing director, Anupam Rasayan, said, “In Q2FY25, we were nearing the end of a demand slump in the Agro segment, and we are now seeing a good recovery. The Pharma and Polymer segments, meanwhile, have been showing robust growth, fuelled by the launch of over 17 new molecules in FY24 and 3 additional molecules in H1FY25. As these products gain traction, we expect their contribution to grow. Additionally, the planned launch of more than 3 new molecules in the coming months should further accelerate growth in these areas.
Our consolidated operating revenue for the quarter was Rs 294 crore, representing a QoQ growth of 14%, with a stable EBITDA margin of 28% in Q2FY25. We anticipate revenue to normalize as volumes increase in the latter half of the year. With the new capacity, scaling of recently launched fluorinated molecules, and signed LOIs and contracts, we are optimistic about strong growth over the medium term."
