Indian Acrylics

What Indian Acrylics does

Indian Acrylics Limited is a publicly listed (BSE: INDIANACRYL/514165) manufacturer of acrylic staple fiber, acrylic tow, and acrylic tops, headquartered in Chandigarh, India with manufacturing operations at Harkishanpura, Punjab. Founded in 1993 in technical collaboration with E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. (USA), the company operates a dry-spun acrylic fiber production facility with installed capacity of 42,000 metric tonnes per annum plus an additional 5,400 MT per annum of tow-to-top conversion capacity. The company produces a distinctive dog bone cross-section fiber across a wide denier range (0.9 to 15.0), serving textile manufacturers in domestic Indian markets as well as export markets across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

The company's business model centers on direct B2B sales of commodity and specialty acrylic fiber to textile mills, supported by dedicated domestic and international marketing teams. Operational efficiency is reinforced by a 6.5 MW biomass-based captive power plant commissioned in 2002, which provides energy cost insulation and qualifies the company for carbon credit revenues through UNFCCC CDM registration. Quality and compliance credentials include ISO 9001:2008, SA 8000:2008, and OEKO TEX Standard 100 certifications, alongside multiple National Energy Conservation Awards (2001, 2002) and Highest Export Performance Awards (2002-03, 2003-04, 2006-07). The company operates a foreign subsidiary (Carlit) supporting international distribution.

Most recently, Indian Acrylics reported a net loss of Rs 2.20 crore in Q3 FY25 accompanied by a 7.33% sales decline, indicating near-term financial pressure. The combination of large installed capacity, captive renewable energy, established export presence, and international certifications forms the foundation of the business, while recent financial results highlight execution and demand-side risks facing the company.
