Scope for price increase in fertilizers

Overall, price is a function of global prices of input, raw materials and commodity prices. We have seen some softness in the global DAP prices... If that warrants a correction, we may look at it, but as you see, at this point of time, we should be able to manage with the announced subsidy and the MRPs.

Medium-term thoughts on EBITDA mix between subsidy and non-subsidy businesses

Each of the business have their own attractiveness and the growth trajectory. The intent, obviously, is to see how we can propel the growth for the non-subsidy businesses... investments are happening in some of the newer chemistries... drones and other aspects.

SA and PA plant will take two years to get completed, and hopefully in FY 2026 end or early FY 2027 is when those plants will be up and running... On the MPPs... could take again 18months-20 months' time... you should look at a two-year window.

Feasibility of achieving INR 4,500-5,000 EBITDA per ton margin guidance

There has been a reduction in the NBS rates... one could look at INR 1,500-INR 2,000 increase in the overall subsidy... we are seeing a trend for RM to be soft and stable... plus, the sulfuric acid plant... will also bring in more operational efficiencies.
