Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • The downstream market in India requires an additional half a million tons of polyester material, indicating robust demand growth.
  • Filatex is undertaking capacity expansions:
  • - Adding 25-30 tons per day semi-dull POY capacity by May 2023 (estimated Rs. 12-13 crore annual revenues).
  • - A new 70 tons per day Cationic chips line at Dahej expected by March 2024, potentially adding Rs. 250 crore in top line by FY25.

  • Improvements in product mix and operational efficiency (e.g., additional winders, recycling plant ramp-up) are expected to positively impact growth.
  • Renewable energy projects and captive power plant will contribute to cost savings and profitability, supporting sustainable growth.
