While domestic-oriented segments like construction chemicals, which includes Asian Paints, have seen a recovery in demand, their margins have been impacted due to a spike in raw material prices. Entities like Tatva Chintan Pharma, which have significant external exposure and cater to end-user industries like automobiles and textiles, have been significantly impacted due to lower sales and margin pressure. Compes like PI Industries, that deal in agrochemicals, API, etc, have not been impacted and continue to see positive top-line and bottom-line growth. While challenges will continue to persist in the near term, long-term prospects for the Specialty chemical industry in India continue to be bright.Comparative Price Performance of Refinitiv India Specialty Chemicals Index against NiftyDuring the past year the Refinitiv India Specialty Chemicals index, an index constructed by data provider Refinitv Eikon and that track the Indian Specialty Chemicals sector, has dropped by 14.3% compared to the flattish performance of the Nifty 100 and Nifty 500.
