GHCL - Soda ash & home-textiles player


Soda ash prices have seen double digit growth in Jan '24 on a month on month basis

Current market cap of GHCL is 4,740 Cr. The capex of GHCL is 4,000 Cr(Green field capex) + 300Cr (Bromine+Vaccumsalt) in next 3 yrs. Current Soda ash price which are at bottom due to turkey import. As per the management, after capex - they will touch max of 0.5 Debt to Equity ratio which is quiet healthy.

Risks:

  1. Dependency on Soda ash prices - crash or range bound for next 1 or 2 years
  2. Turkey soda ash dumping continue due to europe slowdown
  3. Company capex plans are delayed.
  4. Delay in raising funds.
  5. Tata chemicals capex will be commenced before GHCL.

Any other risks which I am missing?
