We have been punching under our weight as an industry in the garmenting field and we have to grow aggressively.
Our reported margins would have crossed a pre-desired trajectory of 13%, which remains fully aligned with our medium-term guidance.
The challenge is India is a supply constraint geography. So you know people our government industry is not growing because we don't have capacities. So the moment we create capacities growth will come.
I can see easily 1 to 1.5% of EBITDA coming off because of input costs in H1. Volume growth will be very strong but margin may come off by 1 to 1.5%.
We are clear that we would like to bring down the debt back to where we were and at a comfortable level just that the opportunity was so compelling that we had to finance immediately with the debt.
