The renewable energy division operates windmills thatgenerate and supply electricity to the State ElectricityBoards of Rajasthan and Gujarat, in line with the Company'scommitment to sustainable energy solutions.
There were no changes in the nature of the Company'sbusiness activities during the financial year ended31st March, 2025.
During the financial year 2024-25, Black Rose IndustriesLimited achieved its highest-ever annual standaloneturnover of ? 346.32 crores, representing a strong year-on-year growth of over 21%. This performance was drivenby sustained demand across key segments, an expandingcustomer base, and continued support from our principalpartners.
Standalone EBITDA rose from ' 31.5 crores in the previousyear to ' 38.4 crores, reflecting enhanced operationalefficiency, effective market intelligence, and the strengthof our diversified product portfolio.
In line with the Company's long-term strategic vision,several key initiatives were undertaken during the year.Construction commenced on a new, state-of-the-artResearch & Development facility, and efforts to identify
and secure land for future development progressedsignificantly. The Company also made steady advanceson upcoming projects and continues to explore newpartnerships and business opportunities, laying a strongfoundation for sustained growth in the years ahead.
The slight decline in consolidated revenue for 2024-25is primarily attributable to the planned closure of theCompany's wholly owned subsidiary, B. R. Chemicals Co.Ltd., effective 30th January, 2025. While the subsidiaryremained profitable, a strategic review determined thatits operations were no longer aligned with the long-termobjectives of the parent company.
The Chemical Distribution Division delivered a robustperformance, recording a 29% year-on-year increase invalue and a 10% growth in volumes. This was supportedby strong domestic demand, strategic inventory planning,enhanced product offerings, and continued backing frominternational principals. Although export volumes wereimpacted in the final quarter due to a slowdown in theU.S. oil and gas sector, resilient domestic sales more thancompensated for the decline, enabling the business tomaintain its overall growth trajectory.

The business environment during 2024-25 wascharacterised by a complex interplay of challenges andopportunities. Global demand, particularly from theU.S. oil and gas sector, experienced softness, impactingexport volumes and pricing. However, the Indian chemicalmarket demonstrated resilience, supported by steadyindustrial activity and growing domestic consumption.The Company navigated this uneven demand landscapethrough strategic inventory management, diversificationof its product portfolio, and strong partnerships withinternational principals. Currency stability, especially inthe INR-US$ exchange rate, helped mitigate procurementand sales risks, while fluctuations in raw material prices andglobal logistics disruptions continued to pose operationalchallenges.
On the supply side, Black Rose Industries maintainedoperational agility despite ongoing international freightconstraints and volatility in shipping costs. Proactivemeasures such as optimised inventory positioningand efficient supply chain management enabled theCompany to ensure uninterrupted customer service.Strategic initiatives including the development of newR&D capabilities and capacity expansion underscoredthe Company's commitment to long-term growth. Thedecision to exit certain non-core operations through theclosure of a subsidiary reflects a focused approach toaligning resources with evolving market dynamics andcore business priorities.
The business scenario is discussed in more detail in theManagement Discussion and Analysis Report.
During 2024-25, Black Rose achieved strong capacityutilisation at its acrylamide liquid plant, driven by stabledemand, consistent raw material pricing, the addition ofnew markets and customers, and focused export-drivenmarketing efforts. Despite global logistics challenges, theCompany sustained its market presence through strategicsourcing and supply chain management. The acrylamidesolid business also saw steady growth, with increasingsales in both domestic and international markets. As theonly producer of acrylamide solid outside China, BlackRose capitalised on rising import prices and improvedoperational efficiencies to further strengthen its positionin this niche segment.
A detailed explanation of the acrylamide plant operationscan be found in the Management Discussion and AnalysisReport.
The ceramic tile industry in Morbi — the primary marketsfor the Company's ceramic binder BRILBIND CE01 —faced pressure during 2024-25 due to global demandslowdown, inventory overhang, and rising competitionfrom unorganised binder producers.

A detailed explanation of the polyacrylamide liquid plantoperations can be found in the Management Discussionand Analysis Report.
The Company manufactures two grades of n-methylolacrylamide (NMA)—NMA 48% and NMA LF—specialitymonomers used in the coatings and adhesives industries,with an installed capacity of 2,000 MTPA.
