♻️ Refex Industries – India’s Ash King with a Refrigerant Past

🚛 At a Glance

Refex began life trading green refrigerant gases. Then pivoted into ash handling (yes, actual ash from thermal power plants). Now, it’s India’s largest organized player in that space. Business is booming, but working capital is burning, and cash flow? Missing in action.

1. 🚦 Introduction with Hook

You start off cooling rooms. You end up managing ash pits of India’s dirtiest power plants.
Welcome to Refex Industries — the pivot champ.

From refrigerant gases to ash & coal handling for NTPC, Adani, UltraTech, this smallcap has quietly become a cash-rich chaos machine.

But behind the 3x stock rally in 3 years lies one big question:
Can a business that handles ash deliver long-term gold?
