The transcript does not explicitly mention the current or expected order book or pending orders details for UFLEX Limited. However, some relevant points that indirectly relate to order and demand status are: - Post May 2025 fire incident at a competitor's plant, Indian exports of films to Europe have decreased, potentially reducing order inflow from India to Europe. - North American market demand remained muted in Q1 FY26 due to tariff uncertainties, causing customer hesitation in order placements. - Nigeria underperformed in Q1 FY26 due to US tariffs, impacting capacity utilization and order volumes temporarily. - Overall, volume growth of 7.9% year-on-year was recorded, driven by packaging films growing 6.8% in Q1 FY26. - Expected stabilization and better pricing power in coming quarters as tariff and import situations get settled. - Aseptic packaging capacity expansion is slightly delayed; volumes for FY26 expected around 8.5-9 billion packs versus initial guidance of 10 billion packs.
