Order book

The transcript does not provide explicit information about the current or expected order book or pending orders for Nandan Denim Limited. However, relevant insights related to demand and capacity utilization can be summarized as follows: - The company operated at about 60%-65% capacity utilization during Q3 FY2019. - Demand is suppressed due to temporary factors such as liquidity tightness post demonetization and GST implementation. - No new capacities have come up recently, and no substantial capacity expansions are expected in the near future. - Management is hopeful of gradual improvement in demand and capacity utilization (expected to improve from the current ~65% towards previous 85% levels). - Market liquidity and demand recovery are anticipated post elections. - Temporary oversupply from past expansion and policy effects caused a slowdown in orders, but long-term demand remains intact due to population growth and India's growth story. No direct details on pending orders or order book size were disclosed.
