But, most importantly, Navin Fluorine offers much greater future visibility, unlike most other chemical companies in India.

As a result, revenue share of high-value businesses has increased from 50% in FY19 (similar to FY15-19 average) to 77% in FY23. As per our current estimates, high-value segments should contribute more than 80% of the overall revenue and even higher in terms of profitability by FY26..Update on ongoing projects and pipeline: Management indicated that Navin Fluorine is run professionally with each division headed by a separate Chief Executive Officer and there are multiple touch-points when it comes to engaging with the customers.

The management alluded that with regards to future projects such as cGMP4 expansion, a delay of one-two months is expected considering the weak macros.
