Management Comments
Dr. Harin Kanani
Managing Director, Neogen Chemicals
Our Q2 FY26 performance demonstrated remarkable operational resilience. Despite the temporary unavailability of the Dahej plant, our diversified business model proved its stability by successfully offsetting the challenge. The core business maintained its volume trajectory even amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty and volatile pricing. We remain strategically focused on high-growth battery materials segment and the swift Dahej organic plant recovery. Our early positioning is validated by the start of commercial-grade Electrolyte supply to domestic manufacturers. We anticipate a significant ramp-up next year, coinciding with the commissioning of our ongoing projects. The Dahej plant rebuild remains on track for completion next year, promising a significant lift to base business growth. We have engaged outsourced partners to ensure seamless customer supply in the interim. Our commitment to corporate excellence was highlighted by the successful separation of the Chairman and Managing Director roles, a key structural enhancement that demonstrates our dedication to best-in-class governance, accountability, and transparency for all our stakeholders.
