Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

Management refrains from providing explicit forward-looking guidance on sales or EBITDA growth due to uncertainties. However, asset turns have improved significantly, with turnover rising from ~60-70 crores to 160 crores over a few years, indicating stronger operational efficiency. The company expects average product prices to move up strongly over the next 2-3 years, which is material for growth. The growth potential is driven by expanding capacity, including new production lines enabling thinner film production (down to 1.5 micron). Export opportunities are expected to grow, especially in su

Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

The company plans a capital expenditure of about INR 500 crores for two new lines, with a preference to keep debt very low. Debt is expected to be restricted primarily to External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) in the form of supplier credit from European machine suppliers, typically up to 85% of equipment base cost. Supplier credit financing is available at favorable interest rates, well below 1% over Euribor, making it a cost-effective option. The company recently turned long-term debt-free, and intends to maintain a low debt profile. A significant portion of the INR 500 crores capex is expecte

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

The company is undertaking a significant capacity expansion for dielectric and superior grades of BOPP films. The first phase involves doubling capacity at the existing Barjora location with two state-of-the-art manufacturing lines. The first manufacturing line is scheduled to start contributing in FY 2024-25; the second, in FY 2025-26. Each new line involves a base cost of approximately INR 250 crores; total base cost for two lines is about INR 500 crores. Lead times for machines are very long, typically around 3 to 4 years. Management is working to keep debt low, mainly relying on external c

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

Expectation of strong average price growth over next 2-3 years driven by product mix changes, with average price increasing notably from ~INR260-270 crores in 2021 to ~INR450 crores recently. Volumes in key segments like refrigerator films are gradually recovering after prior overproduction periods; production is showing signs of increase. Organic market growth estimated around 8-10%, import substitution potentially adding another 30% over a 5-year horizon, and new "sunrise" sectors (EV, solar) could drive exciting additional growth.

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

The company has placed orders for two new lines. There are very high lead times for equipment, extending beyond 26 months, possibly up to 3-4 years. Due to these long lead times, the company is not considering placing orders for additional new machines by the end of the current fiscal year. Current orderbook is constrained by capacity and lead times. Management is continuously thinking and working on expansion plans beyond the 500 tons capacity but no policy statement or announcement has been made yet.

Category 3

Expectation of strong average price growth over next 2-3 years driven by product mix changes, with average price increasing notably from ~INR260-270 crores in 2021 to ~INR450 crores recently.
Volumes in key segments like refrigerator films are gradually recovering after prior overproduction periods; production is showing signs of increase.
Organic market growth estimated around 8-10%, import substitution potentially adding another 30% over a 5-year horizon, and new "sunrise" sectors (EV, solar) could drive exciting additional growth.
Capacity expansions (new lines coming in FY’25 and FY’26) expected to enhance asset turns and revenue throughput, though precise forward estimates are cautious due to unpredictability.
Growth also fueled by increasing exports and approvals from global players awaiting expanded capacity.
Overall, company sees potential for substantial growth beyond current 500-700 crores in target markets with continued R&D and capacity ramp-up.

Margin guidance

The company expects average product prices to move up strongly over the next 2-3 years, which is material for growth.

Domestic market growth includes import substitution and natural market growth; India currently requires four production lines but has fewer.
