Does the 15% RM cost increase fully reflect current commodity prices and how much more is expected?

We feel that raw material cost increase in quarter one could be to the unit of 15%. But if you were to take a replacement cost of raw materials today the number could be little higher than 15%. But it I think we should wait and watch beyond quarter 1.

What cumulative price increase is expected by June and will it be 10% in Q1?

We need to take overall 10% with March out of that in replacement out of that about 5% can be considered as taken already between March and April that leaves a balance of 5% which will be staggered through May and June.

What is the Middle East exposure and will it impact FY27 growth?

Middle East is about 15 odd% for us. It was practically zero in quarter 4. Quarter one outlook quarter base wise looks good after completely discounting Middle East. So whatever comes from Middle East will be a bonus.

What is the total consolidated capex expected for FY27?

Our capex would be about 25% more than what we had incurred last year which is about 1,076 was our last year so it should be in the range of 1,350 to 1,400 crores for India. For Camso upstream we had estimated that capex to be around $30 million approximately.

The market is competitive. Price increases are coming through much delayed by some competitors but at different categories at different dates some price increases have definitely come through in the month of March and April.

Was the strong Q4 demand due to pre-buying ahead of price hikes?

There was no impact of expected price hike in quarter 1 on quarter 4 sales. The GST decrease momentum that has carried forward from quarter 3 to quarter 4 also. It's a secular demand increase.

How does raw material inflation impact Camso margins and pass-through?

On both side adjustments happen. There is a periodic assessment index wise material index wise and that is how the pricing is adjusted between us and Michelin on both side because we buy compound from them we also sell them the finished good.

Will demand decline in second half due to price hikes and high base?

We expect moderation in demand but it's not like we don't expect a degrowth in bus radial tire even after a 10% price hike but definitely it will slow down. Replacement demand will be in single digit in truck bus radial.
