orderbook

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

- Current order book faces challenges due to cautious buying and inventory adjustments by customers. - Buyers are placing smaller, more frequent orders instead of bulk orders because of high prices. - Lead times have shortened from 6-8 weeks to 3-4 weeks reflecting this cautious procurement. - No structural change expected in consumption patterns; current slowdown is temporary (inventory correction). - Capacity contraction is not anticipated; no plans to reduce production capacity. - Order book value may remain challenged in near term (this and next quarter). - Demand is expected to normalize once prices stabilize and inventory correction concludes. - The company maintains focus on supply reliability and long-term customer relationships despite fluctuations.
