The company announced an entry into the non-carbon black space through the acquisition of Aquapharm Chemicals for Rs 3,800 crore in an all-cash deal. The transaction is expected to close by Q4FY24, initially to be debt-funded.

Strategically, Aquapharm Chemicals’ deal further reduces company’s tyre industry concentration and also reduce associated volatility which is a key positive.
