The operating profit of the Chemicals Business increased 36 per cent from Rs. 364 crore to Rs. 496 crore in Q3FY26 over CPLY. During the quarter, the Fluorochemicals Business delivered a record quarter driven by strong refrigerant gas performance, supported by firm global HFC prices, recovering domestic demand, and healthy overseas growth. The Specialty Chemicals Business saw muted quarterly performance due to aggressive Chinese pricing and deferred offtake by key customers, though the Business continues to strengthen its long‑term foundation with improved product mix, operational efficiencies, robust R&D progress, and a strong pipeline of agrochemical and pharma molecules.
