During December 2025, the Company commenced trial production at its speciality carbon black expansion project at Mahistikry. Upon completion and stabilization, this facility will make Mahistikry the largest single-location speciality carbon black manufacturing site globally, increasing Himadri’s total speciality carbon black capacity to 1,30,000 MTPA.

The quarter also marked the commissioning of the new terminal at Mangalore Port. During the period, the Company successfully exported 3,600 tonnes of liquid coal tar pitch to the Middle East. This development establishes Mangalore as a second export hub alongside Haldia, enhancing logistics flexibility and strengthening the Company’s international presence.
