Balaji Amines Ltd (BAL) has been consistently adding capacities and fine tuning process to provide quality products at lowest cost to the customers. World over, Amine technology is a closely guarded process with only a few handful companies having access to such technology. BAL for the first time in India tested on an indigenously developed technology and developed it further over a period of time. Today, BAL‘s products are accepted in international markets and have gained the distinct export quality status, which makes it one of the few companies in India having the potential to match the stringent international quality standards.

China, the leader in specialty chemical business is consistently losing its market share in global space due to stricter environmental norms which in turn is favourable for Indian Specialty chemical companies as India is the third largest producer of Chemicals and Petrochemicals in Asia and the eighth largest in the world. BAL being one of the leading manufacturers of Aliphatic Amines in India with plan to invest Rs 66 crore in Balaji Speciality Chemicals in coming future is well positioned to cater the opportunity provided in the sector.

On the back of higher capacity utilization, reducing finance cost, benefit to Indian speciality chemical companies on account of china’s stricter environmental norms & BAL’s move towards acquiring stake in Balaji speciality chemical will lead to strong growth in company going forward.
