About Vadilal Chemicals
Vadilal Chemicals Limited is a Gujarat-based chemical company incorporated on 11 April 1991 under CIN L24231GJ1991PLC015390. The company is registered at 201, 2nd Floor, Puniska House, Next to One 42, Opp. Jayantilal Park BRTS Bus Stop, Ambli Bopal Road, Ahmedabad, Gujarat — 380058. Vadilal Chemicals operates in the manufacture of chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical and related industries. As per its MCA classification, the company is involved in the manufacture of antibiotics, endocrine products, basic vitamins, opium derivatives, sulpha drugs, serums and plasmas, salicylic acid and its derivatives, glycosides and vegetable alkaloids, chemically pure sugars, and related compounds. This places it in the specialty and pharmaceutical-grade chemicals segment. The company is part of the broader Vadilal group ecosystem, which is primarily known for its flagship ice cream and food products business (Vadilal Industries Limited). However, Vadilal Chemicals is a distinct legal entity focused on chemical manufacturing rather than food products. For the financial year ending March 31, 2023, Vadilal Chemicals' operating revenue was in the INR 1 Crore to 100 Crore range. EBITDA increased by 20.34% over the previous year, indicating improving operational efficiency and profitability at the operating level. Gujarat's chemical industry is one of the largest in India, with the state accounting for nearly 40% of India's total chemical production. Companies operating in Gujarat benefit from well-developed industrial clusters, port access, and a strong supply chain ecosystem for chemical raw materials. Vadilal Chemicals, as an Ahmedabad-based entity, can tap into this industrial infrastructure. The pharmaceutical chemicals sub-sector is particularly attractive given India's position as the 'Pharmacy of the World' — a major exporter of generic drugs globally. Demand for pharmaceutical-grade and specialty chemical intermediates remains strong, driven by domestic API manufacturing and API export growth. As an unlisted company with limited public disclosure, detailed revenue and profit figures are not publicly available beyond the ranges disclosed via corporate registry platforms. Investors should conduct thorough due diligence via MCA filings before considering any investment in the company's unlisted shares.
