- The company has added about $7 million in long-term debt in the current quarter, purely for CAPEX (Page 17). - CAPEX plans depend on vessel size and market prices; vessel prices have risen, so CAPEX per vessel may increase (Page 16). - The company is looking to add more vessels opportunistically based on attractive prices and opportunities, rather than a fixed plan (Pages 11, 16). - Currently, they have 8 vessels and are evaluating adding more, with past guidance mentioning a potential increase from 8 to 13 vessels over two years, but this is opportunity-driven (Pages 15, 16). - No significant CAPEX other than shipping vessels is presently required, as existing import facilities support increased volumes (Page 15).

- The company targets approximately 20% volume growth year-on-year. - For FY23, expected to close around 480,000 tonnes; aiming for 550,000 to 600,000 tonnes in FY24. - Volume growth driven by government infrastructure push, especially in the northern region. - Expansion of vessel fleet planned to support higher volumes and improve logistics efficiency. - No significant increase in domestic bitumen production capacity expected in the next 3 years, supporting reliance on imports and logistics. - Management optimistic about capitalizing on government road development budget increases (~33% hike to Rs 2.7 lakh crore in 2023-24).

- The company targets a volume growth of about 20% year-on-year, aiming to close FY23 near 480,000 tonnes and FY24 between 550,000 to 600,000 tonnes. - Profitability per tonne is expected to remain in line with current levels, despite CAPEX and vessel additions. - Expansion of the vessel fleet from 6 to potentially 13 vessels is planned to improve logistics utilization and increase the share of bitumen imported on own vessels from 25% towards 35-40%. - Improving logistics utilization is anticipated to enhance consolidated profitability per tonne. - Revenues and EBITDA grew significantly in Q3 FY23 and 9MFY23 (45.42% and 40.95% respectively), indicating strong financial momentum. - Management emphasizes opportunity-driven vessel additions and maintaining profitability in shipping and bitumen trading. - Despite no PSU bitumen capacity increase, private and infrastructure-driven demand is expected to sustain growth.
