Winston Score History

The full picture

SRF Limited is an Indian industrial company that makes specialty chemicals, packaging films, and technical textiles. Its chemical business produces refrigerants and agrochemical ingredients used by farmers and manufacturers. Its packaging films are sold to food and consumer goods companies across India and around the world. SRF is one of India's largest producers of fluorochemicals and a significant global exporter of specialty films.

The company earns money by selling these products to industrial buyers, chemical companies, and consumer goods manufacturers. SRF operates mainly from India but exports to over 90 countries, making it a globally connected business despite being headquartered in New Delhi. Its moat comes from technical expertise in fluorine chemistry, which is difficult and expensive to replicate. The key growth driver is rising global demand for fluorochemicals used in electric vehicle batteries and next-generation refrigerants, though tighter environmental regulations on older refrigerants and raw material cost swings remain meaningful risks.
