1. At a Glance
Ganesh Benzoplast is a dual-play: providing industrial liquid storage terminals at coastal ports and manufacturing specialty chemicals, food preservatives, and lubricant additives. It trades at a modest P/E of ~8, delivers strong ROCE (~17.7%) and ROE (~13.6%), while capturing contracts worth ₹169 Cr for its storage infrastructure. Seems like the nose is picking up hints of EBITDA.
2. Introduction
Founded in 1986, GBL stands out by anchoring critical infrastructure—liquid cargo tank farms at JNPT, Cochin, and Goa—while also exporting high-value specialty chemicals. When global supply chains sputter, these liquid storage assets become dry powder. With promotions from Malabar India Fund and an ethanol/Nasik expansion, the plot thickens.
