Management Commentary
Jt. Managing Director commented on the performance:
We delivered a healthy volume growth of 13% during the quarter despite temporary disruptions caused by heatwaves and election-related labour shortages in parts of eastern and southern India. Demand across key markets remained resilient, reinforcing confidence in achieving FY27 volume guidance of approximately 7 million MT.
On the pricing front, the quarter started positively, though momentum softened towards the close, resulting in broadly stable to marginally improved realizations on a sequential basis. Operationally, EBITDA per tonne for the quarter stood at approximately ₹451.
As expected, profitability and margins moderated during Q1 due to elevated input costs across energy, fuel and packaging amid the geopolitical tensions in West Asia. While the price increases undertaken during the quarter partially offset the cost inflation, they were not fully sufficient to mitigate the impact.
Looking ahead, we expect input cost pressures to ease as the geopolitical situation normalises. Continued focus on cost optimisation through Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS), a higher share of green energy and plant efficiency initiatives will further strengthen cost structure and support margin expansion over the medium term.
