Fineotex Chemical Limited (FCL), a prominent Indian multinational producer of speciality performance chemicals, has published its audited financial statements for the final quarter and the entire financial year ending March 31, 2025. Despite a nuanced demand environment, the company delivered a stable performance backed by strong execution and product innovation.

For FY25, the company reported a consolidated total income of ₹557.64 crores, a marginal dip of 4.76% from the previous year. Gross profit stood at ₹205.71 crores, maintaining a healthy margin of 38.57%.

Growth in new verticals and operational strength

During Q4, Fineotex Chemical added 30 new customers and developed 15 new products. The cleaning and hygiene segment faced temporary volume softness, but the demand outlook remains positive.

The company's operational achievements include receiving the NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accreditation for the third consecutive year and the GreenPro certification for its cleaning and hygiene range. It also earned the EcoVadis Commitment Badge, was certified as a Great Place To Work for the fourth year in a row, and received the NSF 49 certification.

AquaStrike Premium receives government approval

A major milestone for the year was the government's approval of AquaStrike Premium, a biotechnology-based mosquito control solution formulated with Azadirachtin. This plant-based product opens growth opportunities in public health and institutional hygiene markets, both domestically and internationally.

Capacity expansion and export outlook

Looking ahead, Fineotex Chemical is optimistic about exports, with the India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) expected to ease access to European markets. Its greenfield expansion, set to go live in Q2 FY26, will add 15,000 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) capacity, increasing the total to 1,20,000 MTPA.

With a diversified product range, growing demand pipeline, and global presence, Fineotex Chemical remains confident in delivering long-term value to stakeholders.
