- Revenue growth is expected mainly from existing manufacturing products this year, with new products and ventures contributing from next year (FY26 onwards). - Polyacrylamide solid product manufacturing revenue expected to start in FY26, with potential full capacity revenue around ₹250 crore. - Margins have more than doubled recently; there is headroom for margin expansion, especially as Chinese market conditions improve and logistics issues ease. - Growth in volumes and margins expected as suppliers support volume increases and demand picks up globally and domestically. - Efforts to add new products and expand distribution reach in new geographies will support top-line growth. - Capital expenditure is moderate (~₹35-40 crore), supporting sustainable high ROIC due to low CapEx intensity. - Approval and trial timelines make exact timing uncertain; the company remains cautiously optimistic but avoids definitive forecasts. - Overall EPS growth is anticipated due to volume increase, margin improvement, and operational leverage.
