Hikal

Hikal Limited is a Mumbai-based chemicals company. It specialises in research, development and manufacturing of fine chemicals, agrochemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.

In 1988, the company started manufacturing and selling chemicals, intermediates, medicines and insecticides. Hikal Chemical Industries Limited (HCIL) was a joint venture between the Hiremath family and Surajmukhi Investment and Finance Limited, a fully-owned subsidiary of Kalyani Steels Limited.

Hikal Limited became a full-fledged public limited company in 1994. The year 2000 saw the rebranding of Hikal Chemical Industries Ltd to Hikal Ltd. The company's plan to diversify into agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and biotech is reflected in the name change. In 2005, Hikal Ltd and Crompton Corporation USA signed a long-term agreement to produce and supply a next-generation crop protection product.

In 2008, the company founded Acoris Research Ltd., a fully operational contract research facility situated at the International Biotech Park Pune. A year later in 2009, the company enhanced its manufacturing capabilities. The construction of a new multi-purpose plant for active ingredients in crop protection at the Taloja site, in Maharashtra, was successfully concluded. It commissioned several new multipurpose Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) plants in Bangalore, which holds approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A new multipurpose pharmaceutical intermediates plant was established in Panoli, Gujarat.

The market capitalisation of Hikal Limited is over ₹3,700 crore as of January 11, 2024. Hikal share price has gained over 70% in the last three years.
