  • Captive Power plant will be commissioned shortly resulting in savings in Valia power costs in Gujarat from April 2020.
  • Debottlenecking project will be completed in Q1FY21 which will increase production capacity to about 20,000 tonne per annum (tpa) and will also help in reducing operational costs per tonne
  • Several other cost savings projects are being implemented over the next 1-2 quarters.
  • Designing/Consent Applications for 2 major projects has started – XNBR Latex (Rs 60 crore) and Polymerization Line 2 (Rs 180 crore).
  • Slowdown in Auto and allied industries affected NBR business volumes and margins.
  • Overall sluggishness in Indian market affected volumes to Paper, Carpet and Construction industries as well but smart recovery seen in early Q4.
  • Exports were down due to much lower monomer prices in Europe vs. Asia in Q3 which has now corrected in early Q4
  • The company is concerned about the gross margins in NBR and does not expect margins to recover soon at least in Q4FY20 mainly due to increase in higher imports particularly from Korea. Gross margins in all other products are good.
  • The company expects significant growth in volumes in Q4FY20 and as a result better sales.
