K. Natarajan, managing director, Galaxy Surfactants, said, “Q2FY25 was a mixed quarter for us. While this Quarter has seen sequential Volume growth as well as YoY mid single digit volume growth driven primarily by our Specialty Care products; a slowdown in India remains an area of concern. The significant uptick in raw material prices combined with supply chain challenges did disturb momentum in this quarter and remains a major risk going ahead.

While EBITDA/MT came in below the guided band of Rs 20500-21500 at 20,097/MT; improvement in premium specialties business should aid margins going ahead. We strongly believe, the sequential improvement seen in this quarter, is a major positive and the same should continue going ahead.”
