- **Polyester Waste Recycling Project:** Pilot plant (1.5 tons/day) operational from June 10, 2022; commercial plant capex around Rs. 150 Crores planned for calendar year 2023, decision expected by end of 2022. - **POY Capacity Expansion:** Total capex approx. Rs. 130 Crores; Rs. 50-60 Crores spent last year, balance Rs. 30-35 Crores to be spent in FY2023 for capacity enhancement and new machinery (foreign currency loan ~Rs. 50 Crores taken). - **Power Plant:** 30 MW captive power plant commissioned; 10.26 Crores to be invested for 26% equity in a 10.8 MW hybrid wind-solar project (commissioning by March 2023) with a 25-year PPA. - **Silvassa Plant:** Rs. 9 Crores capex incurred. - **Future Modular Capex:** Further incremental polymerization and yarn capacity expansions planned but no new polymerization plant immediately. - **DTY Plant Expansion:** Planned but currently on hold awaiting market conditions.

- The polyester filament market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2022 to 2032 globally. - Filatex India anticipates healthy growth in demand due to substitution of cotton yarns with polyester filament yarn, driven by higher cotton prices. - Domestic demand is rising rapidly; exports are currently impacted by high freight rates but expected to improve once freight normalizes. - New capacity additions include plants for POY, with a capex of around 150 Crores, expected to generate a topline of Rs. 300-320 Crores and EBITDA of Rs. 100+ Crores after 14 months. - Incremental capacity expansion is planned on the existing plants; no immediate polymerization plant planned but small incremental increases in POY/DTY capacity will continue. - Margin sustainability around Rs. 14-15 per kg EBITDA is expected over the year. - Recycling and renewable energy projects (wind and solar) underway, with potential upside. - Overall, growth in volumes, sales, and revenue is expected to outperform last year’s performance.

- The company expects to do better than last year in FY2023, with healthy margins due to added capacity (Page 14). - EBITDA per kg is targeted around Rs. 14-15, considered sustainable over the year (Page 13). - New capacity additions in POY, DTY, and recycled fiber are underway; recycling project capex of around Rs. 150 Crores planned, expected to be a game changer (Pages 7, 8, 14). - DTY margins are currently compressed (~Rs. 3/kg) but expected to improve as DTY opens international markets (Page 15). - Cash flows are expected to be reasonable, enabling debt retirement and shareholder rewards (Page 15). - Polyester filament market growth globally is forecast at 5.1% CAGR through 2032, driven by substitution for cotton yarn (Page 5). - Domestic demand rising rapidly; exports facing temporary freight-related challenges but expected to normalize (Page 12). - Overall profitability is expected to improve supported by capacity scaling, product mix, and better raw material sourcing (Pages 8-10, 15).

- The transcript does not explicitly mention the current or expected order book or pending orders for Filatex India Limited. - However, the management highlighted strong demand in the domestic market and expected demand to increase substantially due to the government's PLI scheme for manmade fibers. - There is cautious optimism about exports, which have been impacted by high and erratic freight rates but expected to improve once freight conditions normalize. - The company is adding new capacities (POY lines, future DTY plans) indicating confidence in sustained or growing order inflow. - Capacity utilization for yarns is near 100%, reflecting steady demand. - No specific quantitative details on order book or pending orders were provided during the call.
