Business
Kothari Products Limited (KOTHARIPRO.NS) manufactures and markets a diverse portfolio of industrial products, including soap noodles, stearic acid, glycerine, palmitic acid, and fatty acids; acid slurry, linear alkyl benzene sulphonic acid (LABSA), and other detergent raw materials; ethanol-based products such as extra neutral alcohol (ENA) and industrial alcohol; as well as castor oil derivatives, including hydrogenated castor oil (HCO), 12 hydroxy stearic acid (12 HSA), and ricinoleic acid. The company also produces herbal extracts and nutraceutical ingredients, such as bitter gourd extract and fenugreek extract, alongside personal care products like hair oils and soaps under brands including Ayushakti and Kothari. Headquartered in Mumbai, India, and founded in 1963, Kothari Products operates primarily in India with manufacturing facilities in states including Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh, serving industries such as detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and food processing. [web:company_website] Its target customers encompass domestic manufacturers of soaps, detergents, paints, lubricants, and beverages, with exports to select international markets in Asia and the Middle East. In recent developments, the company expanded its ethanol production capacity through strategic investments in grain-based distilleries, commissioning a new facility in 2024 to capitalize on India's growing biofuel demand under government ethanol blending programs. Kothari Products also formed a key partnership with a leading petrochemical firm in early 2025 for co-development of sustainable fatty acid variants aimed at eco-friendly detergents, enhancing its green product lineup. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or name changes have been reported in the last two years, though the firm restructured its nutraceutical division to focus on high-margin herbal APIs amid rising health supplement demand.
