These achievements establish a new benchmark for Himadri and reflect the strength of our strategy, disciplined execution and continued focus on higher-value products. Our sustainable growth in profitability is driven by an optimised product mix, growth in our core businesses and an expanding portfolio of speciality and advanced materials. Years of investment in R&D, innovation, customer relationships and strategic global partnerships have enabled us to diversify revenue streams, strengthen our competitive position and build a more resilient, future-ready business with significant growth potential. During the quarter, the proposed merger of Birla Tyres business with Himadri marked an important step towards creating an integrated tyre value chain, leveraging our capabilities across feedstock, speciality carbon black, R&D and manufacturing. We strengthened our investment in Sicona Battery Technologies, which has completed 100% acquisition of Advano (USA), strengthening silicon anode IP and adding US pilot plant, R&D and cell-testing capabilities. Sicona has also secured AUD 45 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to accelerate the commercialization of its next-generation silicon-carbon anode technology. Our strategic investment in International Battery Company (IBC) provides Himadri a unique platform spanning material validation, cell development and commercial deployment, positioning us at the forefront of the lithium-ion value chain while creating a powerful pathway from materials innovation to commercial adoption, thereby unlocking new growth opportunities in the global energy transition. As global supply chains realign, our deep R&D expertise is strengthening domestic capabilities in critical advanced materials like Carbon Nano Tube, Super Speciality Carbon Black, Silicon Carbon, LFP Cathode, Synthetic Anode etc; reducing import dependence and advancing India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. Looking ahead, our focus remains on sustaining this growth momentum, accelerating the commercialisation of advanced materials, strengthening our global presence and unlocking opportunities across emerging technologies.
