Commenting on the performance for Q3 FY22, Mr. Rajendra Gogri – Chairman & MD at Aarti Industries Limited said:

“During Q3, our core EBITDA of Rs. 356 crore is once again the highest in our operating history, demonstrating the ability of the business to maintain margins by passing on to customers the substantial input cost inflation experienced during the reported period. Our current operating trajectory also suggests resumption of growth momentum in FY22 following a period of slower expansion in the previous two years due to the impact of a tough macro environment.

We remain focused on addressing the large opportunity arising from import substitution and supply chain diversification by global majors. Our established position as a partner of choice across an ever-increasing number of engagements is driving scale. We are also investing in product diversification, capacity expansion/upgradation in both speciality chemicals and pharmaceuticals as well as building out internal capabilities on quality, safety, health and environment and an expanded R&D pipeline.

We believe this augmented organizational framework positions us strongly to capture strategic growth opportunities. This will be supported by the expanded pipeline of operationalized projects that are currently underway, providing clear visibility to the business over the next several years.

As India emerges as an increasingly significant global chemicals supply destination, backed by a supportive regulatory framework instituted by the government, our capex commitments driven by a wellcapitalized balance sheet, will allow the pursuit of aggressive growth in line with our business blueprint.

Our plan to create individually focused businesses in our two core verticals will further enhance value for all our stakeholders.”
