Key Management Commentary

  • Price revisions implemented but fresh wave of input cost inflation followed after orders were priced
  • Consciously absorbed part of cost increase to protect long-standing customer relationships
  • Fixed costs increased due to labor and staff costs at new Khatalwada and Bamboo facilities carried ahead of full utilization
  • Working capital increase is temporary with no slow-moving inventory
  • United States customer business expected to double, potentially becoming second largest customer by FY27 end
  • Fundamentals remain intact with scale, automation, design capabilities, long-term customer relationships, capacity headroom and strong balance sheet
  • Structural tailwinds from EU-India trade agreement, evolving US-India trade framework, and global sourcing diversification towards India
