BLS Polymers, a part of the BLS Group, is a
manufacturer of multiple grades of custom formulated polymer compounds, which
is used as an essential raw material for sheathing, jacketing and insulation of
wires and cables used in power, telecommunication and railway industries as
well as coating of underground oil, gas and water pipelines, in order to
provide a protective infrastructure from corrosion and external environmental
factors.
Product portfolio of the company is well
diversified to offer varied solutions in the wire and cables and infrastructure
industry, and included products such as, high density polyethylene compounds
(“HDPE”), medium-density polyethylene compounds (“MDPE”) and linear low-density
polyethylene compounds (“LLDPE”), cross-linked polyethylene compounds (“XLPE”),
halogen free flame retardant compounds (“HFFR”), polyvinyl chloride compounds
(“PVC”), cable filling compounds (“CFC”) and adhesive coating compounds. The
company in the year 2022, with a view to capitalize the opportunity to offer
specialised products, diversified its business operations by developing
polyethylene pipe coating and adhesives for 3LPE applications in the pipe
coating industry.
Of the FY26 operational revenue about 80.93%
is from wires and cables (W&C) and balance 19.07% is from industrial
pipelines. Of the FY26, operational
revenue about 52.71% is from PE (HDPE/MDPE/LLDPE/CFC/HFFR/MB/PP), 14% is from
XLPE, 1.47% is from PVC and 31.83% is from others.
In addition to its product portfolio, on a case-to-case
basis, it also develops products that are customised to cater to a specific
requirement of its customers. During Q1FY27 and FY26, the revenue earned from
HDPE and adhesive coating compounds and halogen free flame retardant compounds
constituted an aggregate of 26.80%% and 19.07% respectively.
The company as on Aug 31, 2026, manufactures six
products in 127 grades across its product segments. The company caters to
diversified critical industries such as telecommunication, power, railways,
water, oil and gas distribution, among others. Of the FY26, 35.1% is from
telecommunication, 14% is from power, 16.93% from water distribution, 2.14%
from O&G and balance 31.83% is from others.
HDPE, MDPE and LLDPE compounds are used in the
wire and cable industry which offer insulation, sheathing and jacketing based
on the indicative requirement of the customer. compounds add qualities such as
strength, high voltage insulation and resistance, fire resistance and moisture
resistance, as per the application of the end use product. In the wire and
cable industry, polymers serve crucial functions in electrical insulation,
mechanical protection, and overall cable performance. HDPE and adhesive coating
compounds are key layers of 3LPE (three layer polyethylene) system (“3LPE
Coating” i.e. Pipe Coating) used for coating of oil, gas and water distribution
pipelines. 3LPE Coating is an effective solution for protecting
high-capital-intensive pipelines from corrosion, chemicals and moisture,
thereby ensuring long-term durability.
It served more than 190 customers across power
cables, telecommunication and infrastructure industries, out of which 100 have
been associated with it for a period of more than three years. It gets about
99% of its revenue from direct sales. Moreover,
north zone accounted for 49.45% of FY26 operational revenue with west zone
account for 34.38%, south zone 15.67% and east zone was 0.51%.
