The operating profit of the Chemicals Business increased 83% from Rs 275 crore to Rs 504 crore in Q4FY22 over CPLY. During the quarter, the Fluorochemicals Business performed very well on account of higher sales realizations from the refrigerants and chloromethanes segments, in both the domestic and exports markets. We believe that this trend is likely to continue. Furthermore, strong demand for flagship products and downstream derivatives augured well for the Specialty Chemicals Business. Continued focus on cost reduction initiatives through process improvement and optimization of asset utilization in both segments of the Chemicals Business contributed to the overall growth. The Packaging Films Business reported an increase of 42% in its segment revenue from Rs 980 crore to Rs 1,390 crore during Q4FY22 when compared with CPLY. The operating profit of the Packaging Films Business increased 26% from Rs 219 crore to Rs 276 crore in Q4FY22 over CPLY. The demand for both BOPET and BOPP films remained buoyant. The Business performed exceedingly well in the overseas markets, and we gained from higher volumes from our recent capitalizations of the BOPET plant in Hungary and BOPP plant in Thailand. The Technical Textiles Business reported an increase of 24% in its segment revenue from Rs 401 crore to Rs 497 crore during Q4FY22 over CPLY. The operating profit of the Technical Textiles Business increased 26% from Rs 73 crore to Rs 91 crore in Q4FY22 over CPLY. The Business witnessed significant growth in the Belting Fabrics and the Polyester Industrial Yarn segments, partially offsetting the weak demand for Nylon Tyre Cord Fabrics during the quarter.
