Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
high
Chlorotoluene ramp-up slower than expected
The chlorotoluene plant is still in early stages with customer approvals and long-term contracts not yet secured; meaningful contribution may be delayed beyond FY27.
Margin pressure from high-cost inventory and raw material volatility
Q3 margins were hit by high-cost inventory and falling PVC prices; if raw material prices rise again without corresponding product price increases, margins could remain under pressure.
Geopolitical and trade policy uncertainty
US-India trade tensions, tariff impacts, and global geopolitical issues could affect export volumes and realizations, especially for ECH and other specialty chemicals.
