SWOT Analysis
Strengths
- The company is the only producer of Acetic Acid and is also one of the only two producers of Formic Acid in India. It also has the largest single stream Aniline plant in India.
- The company is also the only manufacturer of Toluene Di-Isocyanate in South East Asia and Indian subcontinent.
- The company registered a loss only once, in 2015.
- The company has the largest Ammonia Plant and a Urea plant in India.
Weaknesses
- The company faces stiff competition from the large amount of fertiliser imports that India has to make every year.
Opportunities

Threats
- Most of the company’s products are substitutes and hence face stiff competition in the market from other players.
- GNFC needs to expand its supplier base for raw materials in order to secure itself against supply chain disruptions.
- There is a risk of the Nutrient-based Subsidy from the government not matching actual input costs, which may affect profitability.
- Tightening clean energy norms may become a source of pressure for the firm’s profitability in the future.
