Balaji Amines

What Balaji Amines does

Balaji Amines Limited is a publicly listed Indian specialty chemical manufacturer founded in 1988 by Ande Prathap Reddy, headquartered in Solapur, Maharashtra, with manufacturing operations across four units (three in Solapur and one in Hyderabad/Bollaram). The company produces aliphatic amines (MMA, DMA, TMA, MEA, DEA, TEA), amine derivatives (DMAHCL, DMAC, choline chloride variants, urea derivatives), specialty chemicals (NMP, Morpholine, GBL, DMF, DMC, Propylene Glycol, Propylene Carbonate, Acetonitrile), and pharma excipients (PVPK-30). It holds the world's largest DMAHCL production capacity, India's largest single-site methylamines facility at 88,000 TPA, and is the sole Indian manufacturer of GBL, NMP, and Morpholine. All process technologies are developed in-house with zero external licences, supported by a DSIR-recognised R&D centre in Hyderabad and DCS/ZLD-enabled manufacturing infrastructure.

The company generates revenue primarily through B2B direct sales of manufactured chemicals to enterprise customers in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and — increasingly — the EV battery supply chain via India's first electronic-grade Dimethyl Carbonate plant commissioned in May 2025. FY26 consolidated revenue stood at ₹1,454 crore with PAT of ₹169 crore (Q4 FY26 PAT up 62% YoY, 25% EBITDA margin). Distribution operates through dedicated domestic and export sales teams serving 65+ international clients across 50+ countries, with WHO-GMP, EDQM, and REACH certifications enabling access to regulated markets in Europe, the USA, and Japan. Exports contributed 14.30% of FY26 revenue.

The company is pursuing its most consequential expansion to date through wholly-owned subsidiary Balaji Speciality Chemicals Limited (BSCL), a ₹750 crore mega project for EDA derivatives (DETA, TETA, Piperazine, AEEA, AEP), HCN, NaCN, and EDTA products, with Unit I commissioning targeted for September 2026 and Unit II for Q4 FY27. The company has 1,200+ employees and is controlled by its founders, with Reddy-family members serving as Executive Chairman, Managing Director, and Whole-time Director/CFO.
