Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 4- The company is cautiously optimistic about growth, with key dependence on the Chinese domestic market's stability and demand.
- Exports of tyres to Europe, especially after geopolitical stabilization, could drive positive growth.
- Radialization in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle segment may reduce NTCF volumes, but growth in two-/three-wheelers, farm tyres, and OTR segments may compensate.
- Passenger tyre cord fabric (PTCF) capacity expansion expected by Q4 FY24 will cater to around 10% of India's current demand, which is largely imported; this segment is anticipated to grow at a healthier pace.
- Additional capacity expansions in NFY and PTCF may lead to approx Rs. 100 crores incremental revenue post-approval process (approx 6 to 9 months).
- Overall, margins and sales are expected to improve from FY25 H2 or FY26, assuming geopolitical and economic factors stabilize.
