SRF's chemicals division is grappling with challenges such as intensified Chinese competition, weak agrochemical demand, delays in new product launches, and declining prices in specialty chemicals and HFCs. Despite these issues, the company anticipates revenue growth in H2FY25, supported by a strong order book and improved margins due to technology advancements and increased volumes. ICICI Securities has downgraded SRF to a HOLD rating, reducing the target price to INR 2,250 from INR 2,480, reflecting a slower recovery in the chemicals sector.
