Full analysisRevenue guidance

- →Phase 2 of Unit 3 expected to go commercial by March 2027, adding further manufacturing revenue.
- →Trading volumes currently elevated to retain customer base; expected to reduce once Phase 1 and Phase 2 capacities fully utilized.

- →Revenue growth is to be driven primarily by Phase 1; peak manufacturing revenue from Phase 1 is projected around Rs. 150-160 crore per annum but actual capacity utilization ramp-up will be gradual (Page 10).
- →No quantified revenue or EPS guidance was provided for FY27-29; management will share installed capacities but not revenue figures (Page 13).
- →Working capital and borrowings are expected to remain stable without significant increase, supporting financial health (Pages 17, 26).
