Century Enka Limited, established in 1965, is a joint venture between B.K. Birla Group and Accordis Group of the Netherlands. It is one of India's leading manufacturers of synthetic yarns, including Nylon Filament Yarn and Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric.

The company recently expanded its capacity for Polyester Tyre Cord Fabric and nylon yarn, reflecting strategic initiatives to enhance market position and operational capabilities.

Century Enka's revenue fell by 24% YoY in H1 FY26, impacted by subdued demand and increased imports from China. Despite this, the company remains optimistic about demand recovery, especially in the tyre industry.

Their focus on developing value-added products has borne fruits, significantly aiding margin improvements amid pressures from low-cost imports. Investments in renewable energy helped control power costs, increasing operational efficiency.

Current market challenges include geopolitical tensions and trade issues, notably the impact of tariff wars on its value chain. The company actively seeks anti-dumping duties to counter the influx of cheap Chinese imports.
