- Phase 1 capex of cashew processing capacity expansion to 140 MT/day completed by May 2025. - Phase 2 focused on developing cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) processing for oil production, expected completion by end FY26 or early FY27. - Solar plant orders placed for around 4 MW capacity, targeting completion alongside Phase 2, to reduce power costs and support sustainability. - Phase 3 planned for converting CNSL and residual cake into high-value products such as cardinal and activated carbon, enhancing value-added segment. - Acquisition of industrial land (412,164 sq. ft.) for Unit 3 at Vasaravi, Surat, Gujarat to integrate renewable energy generation and expand by-product processing. - Formation of 100% subsidiary, Aelea Green Energy, to handle the sustainable energy ecosystem and related certifications, tapping into carbon credit markets. - All capex aimed at creating an integrated, sustainable agri-value ecosystem that drives profitability and resilience.

- The company operates at full capacity (140 metric tons per day) currently, with the first half of the year seeing only 3.5 months at full capacity. - Revenue growth largely depends on commodity prices, as volumes are maximized at capacity. - They expect second half (H2) to be stronger than first half (H1) due to festive/wedding seasons and increased demand. - The company projects more than doubling revenues compared to H1 FY26 but refrains from giving fixed numbers due to commodity price volatility. - EBITDA margins expected to improve from 8.8% in H1 to around 12% annually, with second half margins likely at 13%-14%. - Expansion plans include Phase 2 (oil segment) and Unit 3 (solar power), which will reduce power costs and improve profitability. - Latent demand is high; any capacity increases are expected to be quickly absorbed. Overall, there is strong optimism about volume stability at current capacity, revenue growth linked mainly to prices, and margin improvement via operational efficiencies and expansions.

- Full capacity utilization of 140 metric tons per day expected for H2 FY26, enabling volume growth. - Operating profit margin guidance around 12% for the full year; second half margins expected to be higher (~13-14%) due to operating leverage and seasonality. - With stable commodity prices, FY26 top line could more than double compared to H1. - Phase 2 expansion (CNSL/oil segment) and solar plant commissioning planned by FY26 end/FY27 beginning, expected to reduce power costs and improve margins. - Renewable energy initiatives (captive solar) to reduce power bills—power forms 27% of processing cost—and improve sustainability certifications enabling premium pricing. - EBITDA margins in H1 FY26 were 8.8%; targeted improvement to 11-12% for full year. - Earnings per share (EPS) more than doubled in H1 FY26, signaling strong profit growth momentum. - Overall, the company expects robust growth in earnings and operating profitability driven by capacity ramp-up, cost efficiencies, and product diversification.
