Vaibhav Vijaywargiya: Thank you, Steve. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the business update call of IOL
Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Limited. Joining us today are Mr. Pardeep Kumar Khanna, who
is the Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Abhay Raj Singh, who is Senior Vice President and Company
Secretary; Mr. Kushal Kumar Rana, Director Works; and Mr. Rakesh Mahajan, who is Financial
Advisor and Strategic Head, to provide an overview of the key business updates recently
announced by the company.
Before we begin the call, I would like to give a short disclaimer. This call may contain some of
the forward-looking statements, which are completely based upon our beliefs and expectations
as of today. These statements are not a guarantee of our future performance and involve
unforeseen risks and uncertainties.
With this, I would now like to hand over the call to Abhay sir for his opening remarks. Over to
you, sir. Thank you.
Abhay Raj Singh: Thank you very much, Vaibhav. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. On
behalf of IOL Chemical and Pharmaceuticals Limited, I welcome you all to this business update
call. We are pleased to connect with you following the recent announcements regarding three
strategic growth initiatives, involving a proposed investment of approximately INR500 crores.
These initiatives reflect our confidence in the long-term growth opportunities across our
pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals businesses.
Let me briefly put these announcements into perspective. First, we are expanding our Ibuprofen
capacity by 6,000 MTPA, taking our total capacity to 18,000 MTPA. Our existing facilities are
operating at high utilization level, and we continue to see increasing requirements from
established customers as well as opportunities available globally. The new facility will be a fully
backward integrated, leveraging one of IOL's key competitive strengths, and is expected to be
commissioned by December 2027.
Second, we have established a new CDMO facility with a capacity of approximately 1,500
million tablets per annum or equivalent volume of Direct Compressible Grade. This marks our
entry into CDMO formulations segment and build our established customer relationships,
primarily in the European region. The facility has received the EU GMP certification, and
commercialization is expected during Q3 FY27.
Third, we are also establishing a dedicated specialty chemical facility under a long-term tolling
arrangement with a leading global chemical company. This is a customer-led investment,
providing visibility of long-term manufacturing demand.

Taken together, these initiatives are aligned with the strategy of strengthening our core
businesses, accelerating diversification, and selectively pursuing adjacent customer-led
opportunities. Collectively, these initiatives are expected to contribute an incremental 25% to
around 30% to our top line over the coming years.
Importantly, the proposed investments are planned to be funded through internal accruals in line
with our approach towards disciplined capital allocation and our confidence in the company's
cash-generation capability. Around 30% of overall funding requirements has already been
incurred. We, therefore, see these announcements not as three isolated projects, but as part of
IOL's broader journey of scale, diversification, backward integration, and deeper customer
relationships.
With this overview, we now would be happy to take your questions and discuss these initiatives
in great detail. Thank you.
Moderator: Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question comes from
the line of Disha with Sapphire Capital. Please go ahead.
Disha: Hello. Am I audible, sir?
Moderator: Yes, ma'am, you are audible.
Disha: Yes, thank you so much, sir, for this opportunity. A couple of questions, sir. Firstly, on this
Ibuprofen capacity that we're setting up, it's around INR350 crores capex that we are planning,
right? When is this capacity is going to come online and what sort of asset turns are we looking
at here?
Abhay Raj Singh: The idea is that this will be commercialized by December 2027. The asset…
Abhay Raj Singh: It’s about 1.75x
Disha: Hello?
Abhay Raj Singh: Yes, please. You heard?
Disha: Yes. So, you are saying around INR600 crores to INR620 crores sort of peak revenue we can
take, right?
Abhay Raj Singh: Revenue is around 1.75x of the investment at peak utilization value, what we foresee. And,
again, the revenue, what is going to be is a question which depends on so many other factors as
well. So, this is tentative.
Generally, our pharmaceuticals investment has 1.75x to 2x top line. But again, as a disclaimer,
this is a mix of so many other factors, including the geography where we are selling, the
customers, the long-term arrangement and the short-term arrangement, and obviously, the
market cycles as well.
Disha: Correct, correct. Okay, but generally, we see 1.75x to 2x, correct?

Abhay Raj Singh: Correct. Yes, that's correct.
Disha: And sir, for the next year, how quickly will we be able to, like, utilize it? What sort of utilization
will we be targeting? So for the next year, we'll only have the capacity for one for just one
quarter. By FY29, what sort of utilization will we be looking at, any sort of color on that?
Abhay Raj Singh: Yes, this is Q3 of '28, it will be commercialized. But in FY28, I think around 25% utilization
we can reach. And the optimum utilization will happen in the '28 and '29.
Disha: And what will be that number, sir, around 80%-85%?
Abhay Raj Singh: As on date?
Disha: No, '28-'29. So, the optimal, Yes.
Abhay Raj Singh: Optimal is more than 80%.
Disha: Correct. Okay. Okay, and sir...
