Himadri Speciality Chemical has completed its first-ever liquid coal tar pitch export shipment to the Middle East from its terminal at New Mangalore Port, marking a major milestone for the company and for India’s expanding role in the global carbon materials market.

The consignment, totalling 3,600 tonnes, was shipped from Himadri’s New Mangalore facility, demonstrating the company’s operational strength and supply chain resilience in handling large-volume exports. With an established terminal at Haldia on India’s eastern coast, the addition of this western export corridor significantly enhances Himadri’s ability to serve industrial customers across the Middle East and the Americas.

The company noted that the successful shipment reflects its capability to integrate logistics, port infrastructure and advanced planning to ensure timely and high-quality delivery.

Liquid coal tar pitch is a critical raw material used in aluminium smelting, graphite electrode production and other high-temperature industrial processes that require structural purity and thermal stability. The shipment underscores Himadri’s technical competence and manufacturing capacity to meet the stringent demands of global heavy industries.
