→If margins improve, volume growth needed reduces to around 15% to catch up.
→New higher value-added specialty products are targeted to contribute 15% to 20% of overall sales in 3-4 years, adding value-driven growth.
→Ethylamines expansion commissioning expected in Q2 FY '24 will contribute to growth.
→Growth also depends on recovery and growth in pharma sector demand, especially in exports markets like Europe and America.
→The company remains cautious but optimistic given improving market conditions and stable raw material costs.

→Volume growth for FY '24 expected at the higher end of 10-15%, supported by more optimistic customers and stable market conditions.
→New product additions (including Ethylamines expansion and specialty products) expected to contribute 15-20% of turnover over 3-4 years, aiding revenue and profit growth.
→Operating efficiencies and cost control measures (solar plants, steam cost savings, energy utilization improvements) likely to support margin expansion.
→Raw material price corrections (ammonia, acetic acid) can potentially improve margins but competition may limit price increases.
→Overall, growth in earnings and operating profits is expected to be volume-led with potential improvements from product mix and cost benefits.
