Outlook for FY27 across segments on growth and margins.

I think we haven't published any numbers on FI27 yet but when you look at FI26 we've had a very strong growth... So I think 527 is likely to look similar if not better.

MDF volume growth target for next year.

Our long-term growth ambition is 12,000 cr by 531. So that includes an annualized stagger of 18% plus. So next year also I think we'll see a robust growth in MDF. But for the time being till we don't freeze up our numbers, I can't give guidance on next year.

Details on plywood and MDF capacity additions and new UP capex.

On the plywood capacity... we've been doing internal expansion... next year we have two major expansions planned... Husharpur plant... should be operational in Q3 next financial year... Chennai unit also by Q3 next year... On MDF side we'll be able to unlock 70,000 cubic meters additional within Q1 next year... Uttar Pradesh project will have MDF capacity in excess of three lakh cubic meters... time horizon about 2.5 years from land possession.

Concerns about MDF capacity addition leading to price war and low returns.

It is not fair for us to commit on competition and their returns... we are at a 24% growth trajectory... we believe that MDF still has a lot of room to grow... we are at a decent for the current quarter 12% a bit... we are well on line to achieve our aspiration of 15% a bit... prices have bottomed out... BIS is here to stay.

Impact of potential reversal of QCO on MDF imports.

Imports even earlier never constituted more than 7 8% of total sales of MDF in the country... prices have actually bottomed out I don't feel that as much of a challenge... BIS is here to stay. The Indian consumer deserves a good product and the government of India has ensured that happens. I don't think they're going to walk back from that.

Triggers to achieve MDF margin guidance of 14-15% for FY26.

We are looking at a higher margin in the current quarter because of two things. Firstly there was a flooding situation in Punjab in the last quarter that led to slightly higher prices for north plant which is now eased out. Secondly we will be looking at higher capacity utilization in the current quarter. Q4 is traditionally always better... Chemical prices have also stabilized.

Reason for CFS margin contraction despite revenue jump.

CFS actually we are not updated very much very frankly. I should be but really I'm not updated right now. So we will call you our investor relations when we will call you and update you.

Outlook and margin trajectory for laminates segment.

In lness we are confident of a 15% plus growth for the year... based on both domestic as well as export demand... we looking at 20% growth for next financial year.

Plywood segment growth drivers and market share gains.

Industry growth is somewhere between 6 to 7%... we are growing better because we are increasing our market share... before covid we were at 4% 4 and a half%. Today... we were at around 8 8 and a half%. So we've doubled... we obviously want to double it more.

Sneha Tala · Noama

Timeline for MDF margin revival given new capacity additions.

Margin recovery is definitely on the cards... new capacity additions have slowed down... to a 20% plus scar as far as demand growth is the equilibrium should be reached maybe also go so next year year and a half... exactly which month which quarter which week is difficult to predict.

Reconciliation of MDF capacity discrepancy between annual report and press release.

The capacity expansion that we were likely to do... in the current year. However due to robust demand we have been unable to take that expansion. So this will be adding close to 70,000 cubic m of capacity and that expansion will most likely happen in Q1 of next year.

Rationale for Uttar Pradesh MDF plant and raw material availability.

Uttar Pradesh is the largest and most perennial source of raw material... currently there are no MDF plants that are located within Uttar Pradesh. So it is a huge market opportunity... we will update you as and when we acquire the land.
