Commenting on the Q4FY26 performance, Harin Kanani, Managing Director, Neogen Chemicals, said: “Demonstrating strong operational resilience, our Q4 & FY26 performance was robust against a challenging geopolitical backdrop. Growth was driven by high plant throughput and stable demand visibility across both our core and emerging applications. Input cost inflation, including packaging materials, remains mostly a pass-through for us, ensuring our core profitability remains protected. Underscoring our conviction in Neogen’s long-term growth trajectory and our strategic pivot into high-growth segments, the promoters have infused Rs 161 crore of capital to support our expansion plans.

In Battery Materials, Neogen Ionics continues to strengthen its position as one of the most reliable player within India’s evolving lithium-ion battery materials ecosystem, that aligns with India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ vision. The Pakhajan Greenfield Project timelines remain unchanged (H1 FY27 for Electrolyte and H2 FY27 for Electrolyte Salts) and the specialized MUIS Electrolyte plant has successfully initiated the trial-run phase to ensure process stabilization. Our immediate focus centers on phased capacity ramp-up and customer qualification. Encouragingly, for Electrolyte Salts, provisional approvals have already been received from additional international customers, and final site audits are actively underway to transition them to commercial-ready supplies.

Looking ahead, FY27 is expected to be a transformative year for Neogen as we commission one of India’s largest greenfield facilities dedicated to Battery Materials at Pakhajan. Simultaneously, Neogen Ionics' Dahej plant also received 3 US-based electrolyte makers audit approval and will also scale up this year supported by improving demand visibility. Furthermore, our standalone operations are set to resume a normalized growth trajectory, aided by the replacement plant at Dahej expected to be commissioned by June 2026. Backed by these growth drivers, we remain confident of achieving revenues in the range of Rs 875– 950 crore in FY27, at standalone basis, considering MPP-5 full production from Q2 FY26.”

We accomplished this against a difficult & challenging global industry backdrop. This led to weak pricing, despite some pockets of domestic demand resilience. In addition, our Dahej plant was not fully operational towards the end of Q4 due to the fire incident. Our solid performance was a result of our ability to swiftly adapt to a challenging environment by strategically pivoting towards product applications that had favorable demand.

Concerning the recent fire incident at our Dahej plant, I would like to reassure all our stakeholders that this is just a temporary setback. With our dedicated team and unwavering resolve, we are confident we will not only overcome the setback but emerge stronger and more efficient. In fact, we have already begun construction of another plant at an adjacent location at the same site which will replace the existing plant.

We are making strong progress on the Neogen Ionics' Lithium Salts and Electrolytes project. As several domestic battery manufacturers are set to commence production in FY26, boosting demand for battery materials, we are also on track to commission, by the end of FY26, our greenfield Battery Materials facility, using MUIS technology.

While FY25 was a challenging year, the road ahead looks promising. Neogen Chemicals is well poised to leverage its expertise across multiple chemistries to drive sustained growth going forward. In addition to actively focusing on higher-value specialty chemicals, significant contribution from upcoming lithium-ion battery materials segment will further diversify our revenue streams and accelerate our growth trajectory.”

Specialty Chemicals company Neogen Chemicals announced Q3FY25 results

  • Revenues: Rs . 201.4 crore during Q3FY25, change 22% YoY.
  • EBITDA: Rs 34.6 crore during Q3FY25, change 71% YoY.
  • PBT: Rs 15.3 crore during Q3FY25, change 263% YoY.
  • PAT: Rs 10 crore during Q3FY25, change 844% YoY.

Haridas Kanani, Chairman & Managing Director, Neogen Chemicals, said: “Our Q3FY25 results demonstrate a robust recovery, with revenue up 22% and EBITDA up 71%. This growth is attributed to strong ramp-up in BuLi Chem and sustained growth in the base business volumes. Higher topline was achieved despite lower RM prices and resultant realizations acrossseveral product categories. New product launches and the pursuit of export opportunities drove the robust recovery. To mitigate the persistent slowdown in agrochemicals, we have strategically created additional end-use sectors such as semiconductors, flavors & fragrances and select industrial CSM opportunities. This highlights the adaptability of our agile business model, enabling us to meet evolving market needs and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

Neogen Ionics is rapidly advancing its Lithium Salts and Electrolyte projects. A major ACC battery manufacturer has already started trial production plant in India, with several others preparing to do so within the next two years. This will drive their demand for local procurement of both Electrolyte and Lithium Salt. Meanwhile, we are supplying products from our initial capacity to potential manufacturers, aiming to establish long-term customer partnerships. We are on schedule to commission our greenfield Battery Materials facility in the second half of FY26. This facility, using MUIS technology, is taking shape with majority of erection and engineering works now complete. The modular construction process is proceeding with equipment assembly and installation.

Overall, we are confident of achieving FY26 revenue guidance of Rs 950-1,000 crore in the standalone business. Beyond FY26, the rapid scale up in Neogen Ionics will drive consolidated performance. We maintain a long-term growth strategy, undeterred by short-term setbacks. Neogen Chemicals remains committed to capitalizing on emerging opportunities to generate sustained value for all stakeholders.”
