Dai Ichi Karkaria - Mrs S.F.Vakil, MD - 12-04-2018
- New Dahej Plant - 30000 tonne capacity in 3 different kind of plants - doubling of current capacity
- For several years we had good demand of products but could not offer due to capacity constraints, so we kept the prices high
- Now once the plant will open up we will bring down the pricing and try to maximize our order book
- We hopefully grow at 30-35% in coming year as partially plant will be started
- Will reach 95% capacity utilizations in 5 years i.e. by March 2023
- Main area of focus is construction chemicals, followed by oil fields
- Our exports will go up as we have special arrangements with Nalco Champions to buy from us apart from JV
- Invested 160 crs - so in current year we are trying to breakeven and in next 2-3 years will start showing income again
