What Rishiroop does

Rishiroop Ltd. is an Indian specialty chemicals manufacturer headquartered in Mumbai and publicly listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (ISIN: INE582D01013). Formed via the merger of Puneet Resins Ltd. and Rishiroop Rubber (International) Ltd., the firm pioneered the domestic Indian manufacture of Chlorinated Rubber and NBR/PVC polymer blends and operates two manufacturing plants in Nashik and Wadivare with warehouses in Bhiwandi and Chennai. Distribution extends through regional offices in Delhi, Chennai, and Dubai, with representatives in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Shanghai.

The company's product architecture centers on three flagship brands: Chlorub (Chlorinated Rubber in six viscosity grades CR 10 to CR 170), Vinoprene (NBR/PVC blends in seven grades for printing rolls, LPG hoses, and industrial rubber), and Vinoplast (NBR/PVC blends in three NBR:PVC ratios for wire and cable insulation and rubber flooring). Beyond these brands, Rishiroop distributes a broader elastomer portfolio (NBR, EPDM, polychloroprene, SBR, polybutadiene, styrenic block copolymers, thermoplastic polyolefins, thermoplastic vulcanizates) and chemical additives (carbon blacks, fillers, plasticizers, vulcanizing agents). Manufacturing technology is owned in-house and is described in company materials as the Indian industry quality benchmark.

Rishiroop operates a B2B industrial chemicals revenue model with quote-based pricing, selling directly to manufacturers in marine paints, road marking coatings, wire and cable, rubber flooring, LPG hoses, printing rolls, construction, oil and gas, mining, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. Reported FY26 sales were Rs 71.99 crore (~$8.6M USD), a 3.19% YoY decline, with net profit of Rs 6.70 crore down 37.15% YoY and a Q4 FY26 net loss of Rs 5.62 crore.
