💰fundraise
Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

- The company has discussed CapEx plans, including a new manufacturing facility in Jammu, but there's no indication of raising funds via equity or debt.
- Management mentioned that after the planned expansion reaching Rs. 2,600-2,700 crore revenue scale, they do not foresee significant expansion (and thus likely no immediate need for large fundraises) in the next three years.

🏗️capex
Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?
- The company plans incremental CapEx that will allow revenue generation of around Rs. 2,600 crore to Rs. 2,700 crore post-expansion.
- No significant expansion is expected for the next three years after the planned CapEx.
- A new manufacturing facility is being added in the Jammu region, which will be the second-largest manufacturing facility after Indore.
- Investment in the Jammu facility qualifies as committed investment under the Government's PLI scheme.
- Focus on deepening the Pan-India footprint through these expansions, especially in Northern markets (Punjab, Himachal, J&K, Uttaranchal).
- No current plans for inorganic acquisitions despite being approached; no fit was found yet.
These capital investments aim to support growth, improve return on capital (ROC), and leverage incentives under the PLI scheme.
📊revenue
Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?
- The company expects sales growth momentum to continue with a minimum target of 15% growth in the next two to three years.
- Recent quarters showed 23%-30% growth, partly driven by base effects and expansion into new distribution territories.
- Distribution has expanded from 1.8 million to nearly 2 million outlets, including entry into higher-tier A and B class outlets with Rs. 10 and Rs. 20 packs.
- Larger pack sales and higher value packs are growing substantially, with more than 35% growth in the last quarter, though this is seen as a slow, gradual shift.
- The addition of a new manufacturing facility in Jammu will enhance reach in Northern India, supporting growth.
- Overall volume and value growth are nearly aligned, reflecting broad-based scaling of operations and product portfolio expansion.
📈margin
Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?
- The company targets sustained revenue growth of at least 15% annually over the next 2-3 years, driven by deeper distribution and expanded product portfolios including larger pack sizes.
- EBITDA margins are expected to improve, with a target to achieve double-digit EBITDA margin in FY24, improving from previous low to mid single digits due to operational efficiencies and easing raw material costs.
- There is potential for margins to move to mid-double digits beyond FY24 with ongoing margin improvement initiatives.
- Incremental CapEx is planned to expand capacity to support up to Rs. 2,600-2,700 crore in revenue, with no significant CapEx expected for the next three years beyond this.
- Profitability is set to benefit from structured cost reductions, optimization of distribution, and accrual of PLI incentives starting from FY23.
- Overall, operating profits and EPS are expected to show positive momentum aligned with margin expansion and sales growth.
