- →The company aspires to reach a 4% PBT margin by the end of FY '27, moving from about 1% PBT in Q1 with gradual improvement across quarters; achieving this fully in FY '27 is an aspiration, expected to materialize definitely by FY '28. (Page 9 & 8)

- →The discussion focuses on organic growth, new business wins, partnerships, and operational priorities rather than financing activities.

Order book
Yes- →The current business development pipeline has increased from Rs. 6,100 crores to Rs. 7,500 crores.

Capex plans
