Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

FY '26 capex guidance is close to INR180 crores; INR105 crores already done with balance INR75-80 crores expected in Q4. Around INR30 crores of Q4 capex committed for new solar hybrid capacity. Additional capex of INR50-55 crores anticipated for Q4, under active planning. Land procured in Ghana; awaiting government clearances to begin capex. Expected completion of Ghana plant within 1.5 years post clearances. China plant process initiated; small lab set up; target for plant establishment in 1.5 to 2 years.

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

The company expects to return to a volume run rate of 25,000 to 30,000 MT by FY '27-'28, but sees this as a baseline rather than a growth target. A novel, radically different solution package combining liners and grinding media aims for much higher volume growth beyond current run rates. Various trials, especially for ball mill-centric solutions, are progressing positively but taking longer due to technical complexities. There is significant focus on increasing market share in mining, especially in South America, where penetration is currently low but the market size is large. Capacity utiliza

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

Despite loss of ~30% volumes due to global duty protection measures (approx. 75,000-80,000 tons lost), profits increased from INR 600 crores to INR 1,100 crores, indicating strong profitability even with volume challenges. Current capacity utilization is about 60-65% for overall production and ~50% for mill liners, signaling available room for volume growth without major new capex. Ongoing trials on unique liner and grinding media solutions aim to significantly improve throughput and reduce costs for mining customers; successful outcomes could lead to large volume and profit growth.

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

The Chilean order has started, with supplies beginning in Q3 and expected to continue over 18 months, likely converting into a recurring order (Page 15). The company is undergoing various trials for new solution packages involving both liners and grinding media, aiming for significant breakthroughs (Pages 12-13, 16-17). Discussions and trials with multiple large mines are ongoing; two large mines are in advanced trial stages with results expected in 2-3 months, others in medium trial stages (Pages 13, 16). Capacity utilization is currently below 50% for liners and around 60-65% overall, provid
