Dai-Ichi Karkaria Limited manufactures high-performance specialty chemicals for oilfield, home and personal care, paints and coatings, agrochemical, textile, construction, water-treatment and other industrial applications from facilities in Dahej and Kurkumbh. The company delivered strong first-half growth, with revenue increasing 36% year-on-year to Rs.111.95 crore and profit after tax tripling to Rs.5.74 crore, despite reporting a small second-quarter loss because of input-cost and freight pressures. Home and Personal Care was the standout growth engine, with quarterly revenue nearly tripling year-on-year on sustained export demand. Oilfield Chemicals remained the largest segment, supported by international demand and commercialisation of newly developed products. Capacity investments are beginning to contribute operationally: Dahej recorded its highest-ever ethoxylation production during the quarter, while newly commissioned reactors and the expanded EO capacity should improve the company’s ability to serve growing customer requirements. The key near-term tension is between strong demand momentum and fragile profitability. Higher ethylene oxide-linked feedstock costs, crude prices, ocean freight and logistics disruptions reduced quarterly EBITDA margin to 2%, compared with 10% in the preceding quarter.
