reported strong Q1 FY2Sudarshan Chemical: Strong Growth and Portfolio Restructuring7 performance, with net profit rising sharply YoY to ₹103.4 crore. The company is also restructuring its 70.26% stake in Sudarshan Colorants India by bringing the business directly under the listed entity. The internal restructuring does not change ownership or operations but should simplify the group structure and improve transparency around the pigment business. Separately, Sudarshan Chemical is selling its German tolling unit, VP4 Frankfurt GmbH, to Celanese for €76.5 million and acquiring a pigment plant in Muttenz, Switzerland. The transactions indicate a strategic shift in capital towards its core pigment business, with proceeds from the divestment helping fund the acquisition. The focus on higher-margin pigments could support long-term growth and improve the quality of earnings.
