IPO Objectives
- Funding capital expenditure requirement of the Company (setting up a new plant at Indrad, Mahesana for manufacturing CCS, SSG, and Calcium CMC).
- General corporate purposes.
Strengths
- Wide range of product portfolio of cellulose-based excipients used across diverse industries like pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, cosmetics, and industrial applications.
- Experienced Promoter and Management team, with the MD having over 30 years of experience in the organic and inorganic chemical fields, particularly in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.
- Global market presence, exporting products to over 15 countries including USA, Germany, UK, Japan, China, and Australia, adhering to international quality standards (US-DMF, GMP, ISO, FDA, Kosher).
- Diversified customer base, having served over 350 customers as of March 31, 2025, reducing reliance on a few clients.
- Continuous innovation and quality consistency, supported by in-house R&D and stringent quality control from raw material to finished goods.
Weaknesses
- Sustainability of the sudden significant jump in net margins from FY24 onwards raises concerns, as such high growth in profitability might be difficult to maintain consistently in a competitive market.
- Working capital intensive business, as evidenced by a substantial portion of the IPO proceeds allocated to working capital, indicating ongoing funding needs for operations.
- High revenue concentration: While diversified across industries, specific top clients might still contribute a significant portion of revenue, making the company vulnerable to changes in their business or demand.
- Exposure to raw material price volatility: Dependence on certain raw materials, especially those derived from monochloro acetic acid, can impact profitability if prices fluctuate significantly.
- Intense competition in the specialty chemicals sector, particularly for pharmaceutical excipients, from both domestic and international players, which can lead to pricing pressures.
