15 Dec 2025 CW Team

The new division will trade industrial-grade chemicals, including solvents, acids and speciality intermediates, catering to sectors such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and agriculture. Operations began in the third quarter of 2025, with the business now scaling nationwide by leveraging Enlight Metals’ existing procurement capabilities and logistics network. The company also plans to enter regional export markets in the near term.

Enlight TradeHub has been designed to operate in close integration with the company’s core metal aggregation business, enabling customers to source a wider range of raw materials through a unified procurement ecosystem. By sharing logistics infrastructure and serving a common customer base, the company expects to achieve greater operational efficiency and unlock cross-selling opportunities.

Commenting on the expansion, Vedant Goel, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Enlight Metals, said the launch of Enlight TradeHub strengthens the company’s commitment to creating a technology-enabled supply ecosystem for industrial India. He added that enterprises increasingly seek reliable, transparent and consolidated access to essential raw materials, and the new division allows Enlight Metals to meet these expectations with improved scale and responsiveness.

Sustainability is a central focus for the chemicals business. Enlight TradeHub is prioritising low-emission feedstocks and bio-based alternatives, and is developing a green product line that will include recyclable industrial cleaners, scheduled for launch by mid-2026. The company is also advancing initiatives aimed at waste reduction and the development of circular supply chains.
