orderbook

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

- Kaka Industries Limited does not maintain a formal order book as they operate through dealers and distributors who place monthly requirements. - Orders are received on a month-on-month basis from dealers and distributors, so there is no backlog of pending orders. - The company mentioned that they could have achieved ₹50-60 crores more sales if optimum capacity was available due to previous electricity supply delays. - For FY '26 and FY '27, they are targeting a 30% year-on-year growth in sales but did not specify order backlog numbers. - The absence of a traditional order book implies that sales are demand-driven and closely linked to dealer/distributor pull rather than long-term contracts.
