PCBL Chemical targets major growth, diversification by 2030

PCBL Chemical Limited (formerly PCBL Limited) has announced an aggressive growth vision for 2030, targeting a doubling of revenue to Rs. 16,000 Cr. from Rs. 8,400 Cr. in FY25. The company also aims for a 3X increase in EBITDA, reaching Rs. 4,000 Cr. by FY30, up from Rs. 1,400 Cr. in FY25, and a 5X PAT growth. This expansion is driven by capacity additions, including 240,000 tons for Carbon Black in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, 1,000 tons for Super Conductive Grade at Palej, and 50,000 tons for Specialty Black Grades.

A key part of the strategy is diversification into specialty chemicals and battery chemicals, with the share of specialty chemicals in revenue projected to increase from 28% in FY25 to 45% by 2030, and in EBITDA from 28% to 63%. This includes new product lines such as Super-Conductive Carbons, Nano-Silicon, and Acetylene Black for next-gen batteries. The company plans to reduce its Net Debt to EBITDA gearing from 3.6x in FY25 to less than 1x by 2030.

PCBL Chemical is also focusing on operational excellence through smart manufacturing, including Industry 4.0 enabled operations, and strengthening its global presence with 9 manufacturing facilities and 4 R&D & Innovation Centres across 6 continents and 70+ countries. The company highlights its commitment to sustainability, evidenced by its Ecovadis Gold rating and 2.65 lakh tCO2e GHG offset through co-gen power plants.
