Himadri Speciality Chemical Unaffected by US Tariffs
Himadri Speciality Chemical is a big company in India that makes special chemicals.
They sell these chemicals to many countries, including the US.
Even though the US has put tariffs on their products, which makes them more expensive, their customers in the US still buy from them because the quality is very good.
The company is also selling more to other countries like Europe and the Middle East.
They are planning to make even more chemicals and open new factories.
One of their new products will be made in a factory that will be the biggest in the world.
They are also going to make chemicals that India usually has to import, which will help the country save money.
Himadri Speciality Chemical has not been impacted by US tariffs on exports due to high product quality and retained customer base.
The company is seeing increased volume in overseas markets like Europe and the Middle East.
Exports currently contribute 33% to the company's turnover, with a target of over 50% in the next three years.
The company is expanding its speciality carbon black capacity to 130,000 MT per annum by Q3 2026.
