Pidilite

Pidilite Industries, one of India’s leading adhesives and construction chemicals manufacturers, is preparing for another round of price increases as escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia continue driving inflation in raw material costs. Managing Director Sudhanshu Vats indicated that persistent supply-chain volatility and rising input expenses are forcing the company to reassess pricing strategies despite earlier hikes implemented in April and May.

India’s leading adhesive manufacturer Pidilite Industries is confronting rising input costs driven by global supply disruptions, particularly amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Despite inflationary pressures on key raw materials, the company remains confident of maintaining its operating profit margins within the 20–24 percent range. Management has emphasized a balanced pricing strategy—absorbing part of the cost burden while passing some on to consumers—to sustain competitiveness.
