Ananth Jayaram: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's my pleasure to welcome you all on behalf of JG
Chemicals Limited and SKP Securities to this financial results conference call. We have

Director and CFO; and Mr. Amit Agarwal, General Manager, Accounts and Finance.
We will have the opening remarks from the management, followed by the Q&A session.
Thank you, and over to you, Anirudh.
Anirudh Jhunjhunwala: Thank you. A very good afternoon to everyone, and a very warm welcome to JG Chemicals'
earnings call for the second quarter and half year of the financial year 2027. We sincerely
appreciate the time all of you have set aside today to join us. I am pleased to share that JG
delivered its best ever quarterly performance in the current Q2 FY27, surpassing the
previous record achieved in the Q1.
Revenue, EBITDA and PAT each scaled new quarterly highs, driven by healthy demand
across end-user industries, a favorable product mix and focused execution from our side.
During the period, we continued to strengthen our core operations, expand our
manufacturing capabilities, diversify our product portfolio and also deepen our presence
across our key end user segments.
Beyond our financial performance, I would also like to highlight JGC's distinct positioning
in the zinc industry today. JGC is India's largest zinc recycling company and a leading
manufacturer of zinc oxide, a value-added green chemical, today manufactured using
recycled zinc.
This combination of leadership in the zinc recycling business and manufacturing of value-
added grades gives us a very differentiated position in the eyes of our customers. In the
current environment, where sustainability, responsible sourcing and ESG commitments are
becoming increasingly important for tire manufacturers, the use of green chemicals like
zinc oxide and recycled materials is gaining greater relevance.
Zinc oxide is a critical input in tire manufacturing and plays an important role in the
performance and functional properties of the tire. The growing emphasis on sustainability
across the tire value chain strengthens our relevance of our recycled zinc-based

manufacturing model and position JGC very favorably.
We also believe that the zinc oxide industry in India is currently undergoing a gradual shift
from the fragmented regional suppliers towards the smaller number of organized players
capable of delivering consistent quality, customized grades and reliable large-scale supply
chain.
As India's largest player in the industry with an installed capacity of almost 77,000 metric
tons per annum, JGC is very well positioned to benefit from this consolidation trend going
forward. Our established customer relationships, manufacturing scale and technical
capabilities provide us with a strong foundation to capitalize on these opportunities and
further strengthen our leadership position in the industry.
Now let me take you through the key developments during the quarter. Coming to our
capacity expansion program, the Dahej greenfield project in Gujarat is an important
milestone in the growth journey of your company. Phase 1, comprising approximately
15,000 metric tons per annum of zinc oxide capacity within the planned 40,000-plus metric
tons facility, is nearing completion now with trial runs scheduled for next month.
The focus thereafter will be on customer qualification and production ramp-up. At
Naidupeta, our brownfield expansion remains on track for commissioning in the Q4 of '27.
The project is expected to add approximately 5,000 metric tons to our existing
manufacturing capacity.
Together with Dahej and Naidupeta expansions are expected to increase our total zinc oxide
capacity to approximately 79,900 tons per annum, providing capacity to support anticipated
demand through FY28 and '29. Further growth will be supported by the planned Phase 2
expansion at Dahej.
Further strengthening our long-term expansion plan, JG, through its material subsidiary,
BDJ Oxides Private Limited, acquired approximately 16.74 acres of freehold land at
Naidupeta in Tirupati District, Andhra during 2026. This land will provide additional
flexibility to support future capacity expansion and accommodate our growth plans over
the long term.
Now moving to product development and R&D. Our focus continues to be on strengthening
our specialized product portfolio and developing solutions for customer-specific
requirements. We currently offer over 90 specialized grades of zinc oxide.
The new R&D center at Naidupeta, which was inaugurated recently, has capabilities in new
products and new grade development. Our approach remains centered on moving up the
value chain through product customization and high-purity applications.
During the H1 of FY27, we launched LabPure, our analytical grade zinc oxide on the e-
commerce platform and also introduced a new product, namely JDZRA for non-tire rubber

applications. We have also applied for the patent of the rubber curing activator. Another
important area of development is our JG TUR initiative, which is the Tire Upscaled Rubber.
This represents our entry into the recycled rubber segment where we intend to convert the
end-of-life tires into usable rubber material for the tire and rubber industry. This initiative
is again aligned with the industry's increasing focus on incorporating recycled content and
developing more sustain
