Indofil Industries 2018-19 Business Overview
The company is a leader in Agrochemicals and Speciality chemicals.
Agrochemicals include Fungicide, Pesticide, Plant Nutrition, Acaricides, Herbicides, Surfactants, and Plant growth regulator. This segment contributes 87% of total revenue.
Specialty Chemicals includes Product Offerings Performance chemicals for industries such as: Textile, Plastic , Coating, Construction, Leather. This segment contributes 13% of total revenue.
1. Domestic Operation
Revenue= 1003 Cr, it has shown a growth of 6%, YoY basis. Domestically, they have 6300+ distributors.
2. International Operation
Revenue= 970 Cr, it has shown a growth of 17%, YoY basis. Internationally, they have 400+ distributors.
Indofil’s International Business covers offerings from Agrochemicals as well as Specialty Chemicals across 100+ countries.
The volume growth was quite strong, especially in Brazil, which saw volumes surging four times compared to the previous year. Besides, the business also saw some recovery in the African and Asian markets, which had seen a downturn in the earlier year. The European market remained fairly stable in line with the overall Agrochemical market in Europe. The global sanctioning of some of the Middle Eastern markets also affected the business revenues from these markets. Due to the overall demand-supply situation for Mancozeb, a key chemical, pricing pressures have been quite strong over the last two years. Even in the case of key markets such as Brazil, large-scale channel inventories had led to a price war and an overall reduction in pricing across the market. This phenomena is likely to continue in the current year as well.
Operation Capacity Expansion
(i) The Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) plant for producing Mancozeb with an annual installed capacity of 35,000 MT commenced production from October 2018. The GIDC plant for specialty chemical products with an annual installed capacity of 35,000 MT commenced commercial production from July 2018.
(ii) Indofil Philippines Inc. commenced commercial operations from May 2018 and achieved a surplus in the first year of operations.
