On Thursday, before market hours, Aarti Industries announced it had signed a long-term agreement with a multinational conglomerate for the supply of a niche specialty chemical.

It further said the contract entails supply over four years and is anticipated to generate revenue of over Rs 6,000 crore. The company has been supplying the said product for the past five years to the customer, as per the filing. 

"Aarti Industries Limited (AIL) announces the signing of a long-term agreement with a multinational conglomerate for the supply of a niche specialty chemical. The contract entails supply over four years and is anticipated to generate revenue of over Rs. 6,000 crore for the company," the filing read.

The company won't need any new capacity to fulfil the order, and with this order, Aarti Industries' usage will improve without any expense.

Earlier, on December 27, 2023, the company received a big supply contract worth Rs 3,000 crore for nine years, and no additional capacity was required for this contract either.

Morgan Stanley maintained an 'overweight' rating on the stock with a target of Rs 575 apiece on the back of strong orders received by the company.
