Improving core business, Paints should shine
Focus on backward integration in the Chemical segment should improve chlorine usage as Grasim plans to increase chlorine consumption in value added products (VAPs) to 40% by FY25E from 28% in FY21. Chemical segment’s OPM should improve to 19% in FY23E from 13% in FY21. Further, likely capacity expansions of 37%/33% in the VSF/Caustic soda segments, respectively, should improve volume/profits during FY22-24E. We estimate a 16%/15% volume CAGR for the VSF/Chemical business, respectively, over FY21-24.
