FY25 was challenging because of cheaper imports and pricing pressurePolyol volumes and realisations need to recoverPetrochemical margins can remain cyclicalQ1 profitability was exceptionally strong, so sustainability over the next few quarters is importantOverall View:
Manali Petrochemicals is showing a sharp earnings recovery after a difficult period.
The biggest positive for me is the combination of capacity expansion + improving margins + recovery in operating performance.
The next few quarters will be important to confirm whether the Q1 improvement can translate into a sustainable earnings cycle.
