Summary of DCW's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Last updated:
Management provided an optimistic outlook for the remainder of FY26, expecting stronger performance in the second half driven by several key factors. They cited the successful ramp-up of their CPVC capacity from 20,000 tonnes to 40,000 tonnes, which has already been fully utilized, resulting in the highest CPVC sales volume recorded. Despite a 15% price erosion in CPVC due to import competition, the specialty chemical segment posted EBITDA growth, indicating effective portfolio management.
Major forward-looking points include:
Revenue Expectations: Enhanced capacity and project completions are anticipated to drive revenues, with the company targeting an annualized revenue run rate of Rs.2,500 crores, bolstered by new CPVC production and exports from synthetic rutile and pigments.
Debt Management: The long-term debt at Rs.70 crores was repaid in the first half, with a target to close FY26 with a net debt to EBITDA ratio below 0.5x, aiming for a robust balance sheet ahead of an increase in future investments.
Future Capacities: The next phase of CPVC expansion to 50,000 tonnes is on track for commissioning by fiscal year-end, with multiple specialty chemical projects under feasibility analysis for investments aimed at increasing margins from high-value downstream products.
Operational Efficiencies: Cost savings from renewable power consumption are expected to reach around Rs.25-30 crores annually, with an estimated quarterly saving of approximately Rs.2.75-3 crores recently and projected increases in the second half.
Market Conditions: Although pricing remains uncertain, management expressed confidence in demand recovery and potential margin rebounds as government interventions, such as the anticipated anti-dumping duty (ADD), are implemented.
These strategies combined illustrate management's proactive approach in navigating market challenges while positioning for sustainable growth.

Darshil Pandya: "Sir, my only question is about the CPVC capacity that we have added in July. Have we seen any revenue from this in this fiscal, in this quarter, specifically?"
"Yes, we have. The plant was commissioned on 22nd July, and production ramped up immediately. We sold from the new capacity to the market."
Praneet: "How does the company see the new capacities that are coming up in the country by the large players?"
"Currently, domestic capacity serves only 40% of PVC demand, which is growing at 8% CAGR. New capacities will add to that demand growth, and India will remain a net PVC importer."
Pujan Shah: "We have seen a sluggish demand this quarter due to extended monsoon. Do we see any green shoots building up for Q3, Q4?"
"I agree. Prices have hit the bottom, so we expect demand to improve gradually. Price improvement may lag behind, but demand will definitely rise."
Madhur Rathi: "What led to the synthetic rutile sales improving?"
"Sales have increased due to our solid orders from Japan. The volumes are expected to stay elevated based on existing orders, and we anticipate these trends to continue."
Majid Ahmed: "Can you give me the revenue breakup of H1 FY'26 of the basic chemicals?"
"The basic chemicals revenue for the quarter stood at Rs. 395 crores, while specialty chemicals were Rs. 140 crores."
Saurabh: "What kind of a margin you will maintain in FY'25 and FY'26?"
"Currently, we have around an 11% margin. While prices are unpredictable, we expect to maintain margins through product mix changes."
