From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Business Environment & Outlook | Management is optimistic about FY27, expecting a return to original volumes and profitability, with revenue visibility of Rs 1,250 crores potentially reaching Rs 1,350-1,400 crores, and PAT margins around 9%. |
| Volume Decline & Recovery | Lower volumes in Q1 were due to customers pausing purchases amid price spikes; demand is returning in Q2, and management believes volumes 'should 100% be met' alongside better realizations. |
| Raw Material Situation | Raw material availability has improved compared to 2-3 months ago; prices have reset (e.g., sulphur at ~USD 1,100 vs. USD 250-300 previously), and the company is planning to restart Unit 6. |
| Capacity Expansion & Revenue Potential | Unit 6 trials are expected by end of August or September; with its full-year operation next year, revenue could cross Rs 1,700-1,750 crores. |
| Fertilizer Market Dynamics | Management countered concerns about farmers shifting to DAP, questioning its availability, and stated that the company is holding inventory in anticipation of higher prices, which should reflect in Q2 volumes. |
| Capex & Land Acquisition | The Rs 9.33 crore land purchase adjacent to Unit 1 was for future expansion, as it made strategic sense given land scarcity and available cash reserves. |
| Chemical Business Strategy | The company intentionally ran acid plants on low load due to high sulfur prices and working capital stress, prioritizing value over volume; recent price increases for K-acid and Vinyl Sulphone present opportunities. |

- FY27 revenue visibility is around Rs 1,250 crores, with potential to reach Rs 1,350-1,400 crores.
