I couldn’t find this company’s name either in NSE or BSE website.
What is the company code in BSE and NSE ?
You can check it here: https://www.bseindia.com/stock-share-price/paushak-ltd/paushakltd/532742/
It is listed on BSE only. BSE code is PAUSHAKLTD
Paushak produces Phosgene and its derivatives. The other companies into this are Atul Ltd and BASF. Atul is the only other Indian company licensed to produce phosgene. This is a moat for it. Other companies can’t just jump in to compete with them. Phosgene being a hazardous chemical/gas is heavily regulated. After trying for several years, Paushak received approval from the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Industries for expansion of capacity from 150 tonnes per month to 400 tonnes per month. Paushak had applied for 5000 tonnes per year but received approval for 4800 tonnes
