Can anyone Explain why outsourcing CSM in India is better to the innovator companies as compared to the other countries?

Thanks and Regards,
Naman

I assume its mostly low cost and good talent available in india.

Also a few questions regarding the company.

  1. What kind of molecule does the company perform CSM on?
  2. Does the company need to do separate capex on every new molecule they do CSM on?
  3. What is the order book recognition period for ~1.8 billion USD?

Thanks & regards,
Naman

Also few ques regarding to company

  1. Pharma CSM competitor to PIIND?
  2. Speciality chemical is also on the deversification list of PIIND ?

Thankyou

The dependence of Pyroxasulfone on revenues of PI is significant, as available all over the internet. Management declining to provide the revenue share of this molecule was not good:
(1) Huge Headroom For Growth In Pyroxasulfone Market, Expect 18-20% Growth In FY24 : PI Industries - YouTube

However, we have to accept their assessment that the market is large enough to not impact PI on face value. We have to watch this for sure.

Nuvama says that the revenue share of pyroxasulfone is 60% of PI’s CSM business.

some important points from it and CNBC interview management gave.

  • China already has some capacity.
  • Patent expiring in 2025 and beyond in different countries at different time. China patent has already expired.
  • Rainbow Agro is third largest pesticide company in China. It should take some time to put up plant and stabilize it.
  • PI has very diversified portfolio. (broker report seems to suggest that it is still has sizable position)

As per PI Ind and other broker reports Pyroxasulfone still in growth phase, even chart suggest that.
