4 key strategic actions being taken to drive prospects
Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corporation Chairman and Managing Director Saish C. Mehta highlights four key strategic initiatives of the company that will improve growth prospects
1. Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals has aligned its growth plans with the Indian growth story, especially in the coal, cement, real estate and horticulture sectors.
2. Backward integration of ammonia production means improved profit margins while the company is now no longer dependent on imported feedstock.
3. The professional focus has been introduced into crop-based nutritional products and the business is no longer purely a commodity-based business.
4. With NCLT approving the demerger of various businesses including mining chemicals, crop nutrition business and industrial chemicals, the demerger is likely to be completed this year
Additionally, the government’s expectation of five-year anti-dumping duties on IPA is positive and may also benefit margins.
The development of two projects, a technical ammonium nitrate facility and an increase in nitric acid capacity, will also enhance market leadership and support operations.
