  • For the consumer/TBR and PCR markets, BKT aims to achieve approximately INR5,000 crores revenue by 2030 (~7-8% market share).
  • The company is investing heavily in capacity expansions, branding, and manpower, spending about INR2,000-2,200 crores in capex this year and continuing with more in coming years.
