Privi Specialized Chemicals CompanyPrivy remains relatively isolated compared to its peers, with only 25% crude oil-related exposure versus approximately 58% fuel dependence across chemicals businesses, along with limited reliance on the Strait of Hormuz and minimal exposure to Middle East markets, supporting operational stability and margin flexibility.The upcoming addition of higher value products such as Maltol, Ethyl Maltol, Cyclopentanone, PFS portfolio products and future biomass-based specialty molecules is expected to enrich Privi’s product mix, enabling earnings growth. The growth vision was enhanced by the PFS/PBPL merger, improved profitability at PRIGIV, expansion into high-value specialty molecules, and enhanced product diversification. We expect PRIVI to register a CAGR of 25%/27%/34% in revenue/EBITDA/EBITDA over FY26-28.Cumin IndiaCummins India (KKC) reported a strong performance in FY26, driven by strong growth in its power generation and distribution segments, which grew by 24% and 22%, respectively.
