orderbook

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

- The company expects to grow quartz sink volumes from 500,000 units in FY23 to around 600,000-650,000 units in the near term, dependent on realizing pending contracts with new buyers. (Page 11, 14, 15) - There is an ongoing effort to secure large contracts with big buyers and expand markets globally, including Europe, U.S., and U.K., where new customers have been added, but exact order volume quarter-wise is hard to predict. (Pages 8, 14) - Backlog from COVID pent-up demand initially inflated volumes, which have since normalized; the backlog demand did not fully return, leading to volume declines earlier. (Page 17) - Incremental business growth is targeted at 15% to 20% annually, reflecting ongoing client negotiations and order realizations. (Pages 8, 9, 14) - Greenfield expansion in appliances may contribute INR10-20 crores revenue in 2024, subject to capabilities and timelines. (Page 18)
