revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- Sangam India aims to continue quarterly improvement in FY '27, aspiring to double PAT again. - Top-line growth in FY '27 is expected to be similar to the previous year, with mid-teens growth or slightly more. - Growth will primarily come from better capacity utilization and price inflation, as existing capacities are near peak utilization. - No exponential top-line growth expected due to high current capacity utilization. - Incremental top-line growth will arise from operational efficiencies and energy cost benefits. - New capex plans are under discussion, focusing on energy, raw material security, and capacity additions except for garments. - Any large-scale capex benefits will likely come post-FY '27, with only incremental benefits (mainly energy-related) in the current year. - Export growth reflects continuous new customer additions and higher wallet share from existing customers, not one-time shifts.
