3. SPEECH BY CHAIRMAN:
Shri. Suresh J. Patel, Chairman and Managing Director of the Company welcomed all the members and
directors present at the meeting and delivered the following Chairman Speech:
The financial year 2025-2026 marked a pivotal chapter in Bodal Chemicals’ journey defined by strategic
clarity. Amid a dynamic operating landscape shaped by shifting global supply chains, regulatory
developments, and evolving customer expectations, the Company remained resolute in its
commitment to building a stronger, more agile, and future-focused enterprise.
A Year of Transition and Traction
The fiscal year presented its share of challenges. The global chemical industry grappled with volatility
and shifting trade dynamics. Against this backdrop, Bodal Chemicals delivered steady progress across
multiple dimensions, achieving one of its strongest revenue performances to date. This growth was
driven by improved demand across an optimised product mix and enhanced operational leverage.
Our Dye Intermediates division delivered strong volume and revenue momentum, reaffirming its role
as the operational and financial backbone of the Company. Revenue grew was supported by in-house
intermediates and a robust SOP-based quality model.
Our Chlor-Alkali business remained in line on YoY basis as demand gained traction from water
treatment and hygiene segments. Export volumes also experienced healthy growth, driven by improved
performance from our subsidiaries in Southeast Asia.
Strategic Shift: From Volume to Value
Central to this progress was the successful commissioning of our greenfield manufacturing facility at
Saykha, Gujarat. This marks our entry into the benzene derivatives segment- MCB, PNCB, ONCB,
MNCB, and DCB, enabling access to pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pigments, and polymer
markets. The Saykha facility is equipped with German Technology and India’s first Continuous
Crystallisation system for PNCB, sourced from Switzerland. This is not merely a capital investment; it
is a forward-looking declaration of our long-term vision.
Shaping a Sustainable and Efficient Future
In parallel, we undertook a decisive initiative to permanently decommission units at Vatva as a forward-
looking decision to exit facilities that no longer met our operational efficiency or environmental
standards. The transition was executed seamlessly, with production absorbed by upgraded facilities at
Vadodara and Kosi, delivering reduced overheads and improved energy efficiency.
Our environmental infrastructure remains best-in-class. We operate Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
systems at major units, maintain in-house Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) and MEEP systems. As
global stakeholders increase their scrutiny of ESG practices in the chemical industry, I believe Bodal is
ahead of the curve prepared in both systems and mindset.
Outlook
Looking ahead, the Company remains committed to strengthening its leadership through a well-
defined strategic roadmap. Key strategic priorities include ramping up capacity utilisation at Saykha to
realise full value, deepening new client penetration across domestic markets in intermediates,
dyestuffs & chlor-alkali and driving ongoing internal efficiencies through rigorous integration of
operations.
The Company will continue to pursue new greenfield expansion opportunities while placing greater
focus on our B2C approach to broaden our market reach. In parallel, the Company aims to expand
export revenues through long-term customer programmes in key global markets. Governance and
environmental compliance will remain core competitive differentiators as we scale, and we will
continue to invest in our people, systems, and innovation capabilities to future-proof operations.
This was a defining year in terms of achievements and how we strategically positioned Bodal
Chemicals for the future. The foundation we have laid reflects our commitment to purposeful growth,
operational excellence, and long-term value creation. As we look ahead, we do so with confidence,
clarity, and a shared ambition to deliver sustained performance.
Gratitude Note
As the Company enters FY26-27, we extend our sincere gratitude to our employees, customers,
partners, shareholders, and all stakeholders for their continued trust, commitment, and unwavering
support. Backed by established market leadership and a commitment to quality, innovation, and
reliability, we are well-equipped to scale our operations and deepen our presence across key sectors.
Together, these strengths provide a solid foundation for sustained growth, enhanced competitiveness,
and long-term value creation in the years ahead.
The past few years have been about strate
