OPERATIONSInsoluble Sulphur (IS)

During the year under review, sulphur prices remained elevated
while pricing flexibility in the insoluble sulphur market stayed
constrained amid intense global competition. The result was a
year in which cost pressures moved faster than realisations across
parts of the market. However, the profitability of the Company
was supported by better performance from its Sulphuric
Acid operations.

The insoluble sulphur market in India operated under competitive
distortion. Chinese manufacturers, burdened by excess
capacities, directed surplus volumes into the Indian market at
aggressive prices.

To address this distortion, an anti-dumping duty of USD
307 per tonne was imposed. However, Chinese exporters
absorbed the duty by lowering their selling prices, a practice
known as anti-absorption, negating the benefit available to
domestic manufacturers.

The Company applied for and an anti-absorption investigation
has since been initiated by the Directorate General of Trade
Remedies (DGTR) and the matter is currently under review.

During the year under review Revenue from Operation registered
a 24% growth was mainly due to higher sales realisation on the
back of higher input costs, including freight. Operating Profit
increased by 45% over previous year (annualised). Sales Volume
remained flat during the year. The increase in profit was inspite
of sharp increase in raw material costs. Average sulphur cost
rose from H29 per kg to H52 per kg during the year, reflecting
geopolitical disruptions across global supply chains. Insoluble
sulphur realisations could not increase in proportion to this rise in
input costs, resulting in margin compression.

Though Domestic market of Insoluble Sulphur grew marginally,
Exports sales were adversely affected due to weak global macro¬
economic, and geopolitical environment, duties imposed by USA
and Iran-Israel war and its economic repercussion in the region.

Sulphuric Acid & Oleum

The revenue from the Acid business during FY 2025-26 stood at
H160.20 Lakhs, while profitability reached its highest level. Sales
volume also crossed 1 Lakh MT, marking a record performance for
the business segment. Strong global demand for sulphuric acid
resulted in increased exports from India, which in turn supported
higher domestic realizations and contributed significantly to the
improved financial performance.

FUTURE PROSPECTS
Insoluble Sulphur

The Insoluble Sulphur market expected to remain highly volatile
in 2026. The Asia-Pacific region continues to lead global demand,
driven by robust manufacturing activity in China, India, and
South Korea.

India continues to be the fastest-growing market. The GST
rate cuts announced in September 2025 significantly boosted
automobile sales in the country, and April 2026 turned out to be
the best-ever month for auto sales.

The reduction in US tariffs in February 2026 has positively impacted
the Indian tyre industry and, consequently, our business as well.
Realizations are expected to improve, as part of the tariff burden
was previously being absorbed by us.

Supply chain disruptions and rising sulphur prices have led
Chinese manufacturers and other global suppliers to increase
prices, which had earlier been a major obstacle to better
realizations. We were able to pass on these increases to customers
and partially restore margins to sustainable levels and therefore
expect improved margins in FY 2026-27.

The demand from Domestic Tyre Companies has seen appreciable
upturn in Q1 of FY 26-27 as Import prices have increased and
entire companies look to secure Raw Materials.

An anti-dumping duty absorption application was filed with the
DGTR for Chinese Import in March 2026. If implemented, it is
expected to further strengthen our realizations.

However, Ongoing Middle East tensions and disruptions in the
Strait of Hormuz have curtailed sulphur availability and disrupted
shipping routes and logistics. Since nearly 45-50% of global
sulphur exports originate from Gulf countries, the industry
remains highly vulnerable to these developments. This has
resulted in 80%-100% rise in prices of Sulphur and Oil.

To meet the shortage the Company is securing Raw Materials
from various sources and even at premium where required. The
inventory levels have also been increased to ensure adequate
availability. Energy, freight, and insurance costs have risen sharply
and are expected to adversely impact the business.

In order to sustain business in this environment the Working
Capital requirement has almost doubled.

The historically high input costs may result in demand destruction,
which could negatively affect our sales volumes going forward.

Sulphuric Acid & Oleum

The Indian sulphuric acid market is currently witnessing a highly
tight and bullish environment, primarily driven by global sulphur
shortages. Market conditions have become more pronounced
since March 2026, leading to a sharp increase in sulphuric acid
prices across domestic markets. However, elevated sulphur and
other input prices are forcing fertilizer industries to cut production
as Govt. subsidy is not seen as enough to mitigate the cost

increase thereby resulting in less demand for sulphuric acid. The
Govt. is looking into the matter, and a revision is expected soon.

Looking ahead, prices are expected to remain firm in the near term
considering the prevailing global and domestic supply scenario.
However, the continuous rise in sulphur prices is resulting in
elevated production costs. This increase in raw material cost is
gradually impacting domestic demand and, if the trend persists
will exert pressure on consumption and profitability.

Upon Demerger the Chemical Business of Demerged Company (Oriental Carbon & Chemicals Ltd) was transferred to the Company with effect from 01st July, 2024 the appointed and effective date. Therefore, the Financial Statement for the year includes the performance of chemical business for nine months period i.e. from July 01,2024 to March 31,2025. Further there was no manufacturing and commercial activity in the company prior to that, hence, the previous year figures are not comparable.

OPERATIONSInsoluble Sulphur (IS)

During the period of nine months the revenue from Operations was H30673.35 Lakh which includes H24912.81 Lakh from Insoluble Sulphur business (the annual revenue form operations of the Chemicals Business including for three months in demerged company was H41120.64 Lakh). Sales realisation for IS was under pressure, especially in domestic market, due to competition and unutilized capacities of Insoluble Sulphur globally. Export Sales Volume were impacted due to slowdown in Europe. Export Fright rates during the period were also at historical high levels till October, 2024 due to disruption to logistic routs. However, your Company was able to maintain the operating profit margin at 17.9%. The Company took various cost and process optimization measures resulting into better yield and energy savings.

Due to the dumping of Insoluble Sulphur in India at very low and unremunerative prices by China and Japan, the Company had pursued imposition of antidumping duties on import of IS from these countries. DGTR (Director General of Trade Remedies)

has in the month of March, 2025, recommended imposition of Antidumping on China and Japan.

The Company has made an investment into Clean Max Infinia Pvt Ltd. for purchase of Captive solar power at its Dharuhera Plant. The Supply for solar power is expected to start during current financial year.

Sulphuric Acid & Oleum

The revenue form Acid business during nine months period was H5760.54 Lakh and margins were also healthy in the second half of the year. The steam generated from Acid Plant is used in manufacturing of Insoluble Sulphur and generation of power.

FUTURE PROSPECTS Insoluble Sulphur

Domestic market is the fastest growing market for IS with expected growth rate of about 5-6%. The company''s share in domestic market is currently around 55%. With the accelerated economic activities Indian automotive market is poised to grow which should further give boost in demand for IS.

The last one year there has been a significant decrease in prices of Insoluble Sulphur imported from China and Japan which has put pressure on domestic realisation even more than the price level at which the Antidumping duty was assessed. With the expected imposition of Anti-Dumping Duty on import of Insoluble Sulphur from China and Japan during first half of current financial year, the domestic realisation of Insoluble Sulphur are expected to improve.

With the expected settlement of geo-political disturbances in Europe, we expect the revival of business with the customers in the impacted region. Also, easing out of disruptions to logistics routes has helped in reduction of freight rates.

The imposition of tariff by US would give both opportunities and challenges for India as well as global Economy. The Company does not foresee any material impact on its export to US markets.

Excess of production capacities over demand, specially in China, is resulting in pressure on prices and margins in Asian region. This is expected to continue until a balance is reached in capacity and demand.

Sulphuric Acid & Oleum

Sales and average contribution for the year are expected to be at the same level as previous year Though major capacities in the form of byproduct form a copper smelter in Gujarat are expected to be added during second half the year thereby putting pressure on the contribution.
