  • Some uptick in demand observed recently in key markets such as Bangladesh, China, and the domestic market, indicating potential volume stabilization or growth (Pages 3, 9).
  • Margins expected to improve to double digits in 3-4 months as demand normalizes (Page 7).

  • No major capex planned currently; focus on modernization and efficiency improvements.
  • Continuous long-term debt repayment ongoing, reducing from INR 430 crores to INR 380 crores.
  • Potential margin improvement driven mainly by better demand and operational efficiencies.
  • Share buyback under consideration in next 3-6 months if no expansion occurs, which could increase EPS by reducing shares outstanding.
  • EBITDA possibly reaching INR 300 crores level not predictable currently due to external volatility.
