FCB: Fluorochemicals business operates in a very dynamic environment which apart from being very competitive due to global
competitors also deals with hazardous chemicals, regulatory environment, and ever-changing technology. There has been
continuous focus on new products due to reduced product life cycles for example HCFC 22 to be phased out by 2030 and HFC
by 2045. The business is linked directly to the changes in world especially linked to the environmental requirements. Major
volumes come from export markets where the competition is with the MNC and Chinese players. This requires continuous
reinvention of strategies which can differentiate us from others to compete globally. The key raw material for this business are
imported and dependence on China which makes it quite challenging along with some of the hazardous chemicals locally like
Chlorine. There is continuous focus on cost reduction to achieve cost competitiveness and on the other hand build a strong
brand soasto competewith both Chineseand global players.
