Your Directors hereby presents the Management Discussion and Analysis Report (MDAR) for the year ended on 31 st March, 2026:
Global Economic Review
The global economy in FY2026 demonstrated resilience despite persistent geopolitical, trade and energy-related uncertainties. Global GDP growth stabilized at modest but uneven levels across regions, supported by disinflation, a gradual shift toward monetary easing in select economies and continued investments in technology and infrastructure. However, medium-term growth prospects remained constrained by structural challenges, including slowing productivity, elevated public debt and increasing geo-economics fragmentation.
Global trade moderated during the year following an inventory led recovery. The trading environment was shaped by tariff measures, industrial policies, selective trade restrictions and disruptions to key shipping routes, leading to a heightened focus on supply chain localization and resilience.
Inflation eased across most major economies, supported by softer commodity prices, improved supply chains and the lagged effects of tighter monetary policy, although services inflation remained sticky in several regions. Energy prices remained volatile during FY2026, particularly crude oil and natural gas, with periodic fluctuations driven by geopolitical tensions in key producing and transit regions. While medium-term supply expectations improved, near-term volatility continued to impact cost structures across energy intensive industries, including chemicals. Overall, the macroeconomic environment in FY2026 was characterized by stable but modest growth, easing inflation and gradually improving financial conditions in the latter part of the year, offset by elevated geopolitical and policy risks.

Indian Economic Outlook
The Indian economy is estimated to have grown at around 7.4-7.6% in FY2026, reaffirming its position as the fastest growing major global economy. Growth was driven by strong domestic demand, sustained government capital expenditure and resilient performance across manufacturing and services sectors, particularly infrastructure, construction, financial services and technology-enabled services.
Inflation moderated during FY2026, with headline CPI inflation averaging around 4.0 4.5%, supported by easing food prices, improved supply-side management and relatively stable core inflation. Indias external trade remained resilient in FY2026 despite a challenging global environment characterised by muted goods demand, trade fragmentation and geopolitical disruptions. Total exports (merchandise and services combined) are estimated at approximately USD 840 860 billion, supported primarily by strong growth in services exports, while merchandise exports remained under pressure due to weak global demand.
Merchandise exports in FY2026 stood at around USD 430 440 billion, reflecting only marginal growth over the previous year amid subdued global demand. Lower demand from key markets, pricing pressures in select commodities and chemicals and a slowdown in global manufacturing weighed on export momentum. Merchandise imports rose to approximately USD 740 770 billion, driven by higher energy imports, strong domestic investment demand for capital goods and elevated precious metal prices, partly offset by moderation in non-essential imports. Services exports continued to be a key growth engine, reaching approximately USD 410 420 billion and registering highsingle-digit growth. This was supported by robust demand for IT, business and professional services, financial services and the continued expansion of global capability centres. Services imports increased modestly to around USD 200 205 billion, resulting in a sizeable services trade surplus of approximately USD 210 215 billion, which significantly cushioned the overall trade balance. Consequently, Indias overall trade deficit widened in FY2026 due to elevated merchandise imports; however, the strong services surplus continued to play a stabilising role. The merchandise trade deficit is estimated at approximately USD 310 330 billion, while the large net services surplus helped keep the current account deficit within manageable levels, reinforcing external sector resilience. Government capital expenditure remained a key growth catalyst, with Central Government capex sustained at around 3.1% of GDP, reflecting a continued focus on infrastructureled development. The Union Budget reiterated its longterm commitment through elevated allocations toward transportation, energy transition, manufacturing ecosystems and logistics, alongside continued policy support for chemicals, fertilisers and domestic manufacturing.

Chemical Industry
Global Chemical Industry
Global chemical production (excluding pharmaceuticals) grew by approximately 2.2 2.5% in FY2026, indicating a gradual but incomplete recovery from recent cyclical lows. Overall output remained below long-term historical growth trends, reflecting structural headwinds in mature markets. The improvement was supported by easing destocking pressures, stabilisation in energy prices and a modest recovery in downstream demand. However, growth remained uneven across regions, shaped by divergent industrial activity, energy cost dynamics and evolving trade realignments. In advanced economies, chemical production showed mixed signs of stabilisation in FY2026, ranging from flat to modest contraction following sharp declines in the previous year. While industrial activity stabilised, growth remained constrained by structurally higher energy costs, relatively tight financial conditions and weak construction demand. Recovery was primarily led by consumer-oriented segments and selective manufacturing value chains, with overall utilisation rates remaining below pre-pandemic levels.
Across emerging markets, chemical production growth moderated to approximately 3.7 4.0% in FY2026, compared to stronger growth in the previous year. Despite slower momentum, emerging markets continued to be the primary drivers of global chemical demand, supported by domestic consumption, infrastructure investment and manufacturing expansion. In China, the worlds largest chemical producer, growth eased to around 4% in FY2026. The moderation reflected structural overcapacity, continued weakness in construction and real estate-linked demand and softer export momentum. Growth was supported by demand from consumer goods, electronics and energy transition-related segments, while pricing pressures persisted due to excess capacity. Other emerging Asian markets experienced a gradual recovery, with chemical production growing by around 3.0 3.5% in FY2026. India emerged as a key contributor, with production expanding by approximately 4.5%, supported by strong domestic demand, infrastructure spending, growth in specialty chemicals and favourable policy support. Supply chain diversification trends continued to benefit Indian chemical producers.
In the United States, chemical demand remained subdued in FY2026, with production declining by approximately 1%, following a weak previous year characterised by destocking and subdued industrial activity. Persistently low utilisation rates, weak demand from construction and automotive sectors and structural overcapacity constrained recovery.
In the European Union, chemical production declined marginally by around 0.5 1.0% in FY2026, reflecting persistent cost competitiveness challenges and subdued industrial demand, with recovery remaining slow and uneven across end-use segments. In South America, chemical production expanded by approximately 2.0 2.5% in FY2026, supported by recovery in consumer demand, increased automotive production and sustained demand for agricultural chemicals, particularly fertilisers and crop inputs. Japan recorded a marginal recovery of around 0.5% in FY2026 following multiple years of decline. While demand from technology and consumer segments stabilised, continued weakness in automotive production limited the pace of recovery.
The global agrochemicals market, which experienced a sharp downturn in earlier years due to channel destocking, price corrections and volatile weather conditions, showed early signs of stabilisation during FY2026. While volumes remained below peak levels, inventory normalisation and improving farm economics supported a gradual recovery. Export pressures persisted, though the pace of decline moderated, indicating improving underlying demand conditions.

Indian Chemical Industry
India continues to strengthen its position as a key global chemicals manufacturing hub. As of FY2026, India remains among the top six producers of chemicals globally and among the top three in Asia, with the sector contributing approximately 5 6% to Indias GDP and around 9% to manufacturing gross value added. With production spanning over 80,000 chemical products, India represents one of the most diversified chemical manufacturing bases globally.
The Indian chemical industry is estimated to have reached approximately USD 300 - 320 billion in FY2026, supported by steady mid-single-digit growth. Growth momentum remains structurally strong, driven by sustained domestic demand across agriculture, infrastructure, FMCG, automotive and energy-transition segments, alongside rising global interest in India as a resilient and diversified sourcing destination. Specialty chemicals and export-oriented segments continue to outperform the broader industry.
The sector continues to attract long term foreign capital. Cumulative FDI equity inflows into the chemical industry (excluding fertilizers) reached approximately USD 23 24 billion between April 2000 and June 2025. Manufacturing led FDI strengthened in 2025, supported by policy continuity, infrastructure development and supply chain realignment trends. Strategic investment interest continues to be led by Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, as global players actively diversify supply chains beyond China.

The future performance of your Company would depend to a large extent on its ability to successful diversification, market of commodities. We are hopeful that through the combination of market developments and expansion activity, there will be healthy growth over the next few years.
Outlook and Risk
Indias near-term outlook remains stable but subject to a range of external and domestic risks. Global trade fragmentation, geopolitical tensions, and commodity price volatility, particularly in energy markets, could weigh on exports and industrial growth. Disruptions in key global shipping routes have also added to logistics costs and introduced uncertainty in trade flows.
Inflation, although moderating, continues to warrant close monitoring, leading the Reserve Bank of India to maintain a cautious policy stance. Food price volatility and movements in global energy prices remain key upside risks. In addition, evolving global financial conditions and capital flow dynamics could influence currency stability and domestic liquidity.
The pace of private investment recovery and global demand conditions will also play an important role in shaping near-term growth. At the same time, Indias strong domestic demand base, improving financial sector health, and ongoing structural reforms provide resilience against external shocks.
Looking ahead, Indias long-term growth trajectory remains favourable, supported by demographics, policy continuity, and sustained investments in infrastructure and technology. Increasing integration into global value chains, alongside a large and expanding domestic market, is expected to support continued economic expansion. Despite near-term uncertainties, India remains well positioned to sustain its status as one of the fastestgrowing major economies globally.
The Industrial Chemicals segment is expected to remain moderate, with continued softness in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.
