Outlook

The dyestuff industry is at a threshold of momentous change where individual companies can either grow and become stronger or can flounder in the changing environment. The changed environment is due to various factors viz. legislations like REACH, CWC etc or shifting of markets from the west to India and China; uncertainties regarding the US dollar.

Indian dyestuff sector has scaled up exports in the recent times.  They will benefit from extension of time limit for interest subvention on pre shipment credit. Union Budget 2009-10 is neutral to dyestuff sector as there are no sector specific announcements.
