- Development of a 6.5 MW captive solar power project
Expansion Projects
The acquired 140,000 TPA Bottle Grade PET Chips (CP) Plant at Nakoda is progressing as planned and is targeted to commence commercial operations during Q1 FY28. Once operational, the facility is expected to generate:
- Approximately ₹1,500 crore of additional annual revenue

Management Commentary
Mr. Pratik R. Jaju, Managing Director, commented that the quarter saw unprecedented surge in raw material prices following geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which temporarily impacted margins across the polyester value chain. The situation has begun to normalize with crude oil prices stabilizing and supply chains improving.
The Rights Issue has substantially strengthened the company's financial position and enables expansion of working capital, acceleration of the Nakoda CP Plant commissioning, investment in renewable energy, and debt reduction.
