Full analysisRevenue guidance

- →Capacity utilization for insoluble sulphur was around 70% in FY25; there is enough capacity currently to meet demand, so no immediate capex for expansion is planned.
- →Domestic market share is currently at 55%, with expectations to increase above 60% due to recent anti-dumping duties imposed on imports from Japan and China.
- →The anti-dumping duty benefit is estimated at INR 70-80 lakhs per month at the PBT level, likely improving margins going forward.
- →Sales and volume growth could be offset by fluctuating raw material costs and exchange rates, making precise long-term guidance difficult.
