partialWill the INR 1,000 crore CPC CapEx be trimmed post NACL acquisition?
No, I won't say it will be trimmed. It will be moderated because the active ingredient capacity creation can be slowed down since we have spare capacities which can be leveraged.

evasiveWhere do you see NACL three years from now?
NSCL is to get back in terms of the capacity utilization. They have invested in Dahej facility, which is not operational fully.

declinedPotential top line of NACL at full capacity?
Too early to comment on it, and they should at least minimum go back to the numbers what they have achieved two years before without considering any new add-ons.

partialVolumetric growth and margin outlook for crop protection?
I would suggest we should look at high-end double-digit growth for the next year across these three segments... All I can say is our turnover for the next year, our revenue can be on the high double-digit side, supported by healthy profitability margins.

partialEconomics of retail stores: CapEx, working capital, profitability?
In terms of investment, as of now, we are only on a rental basis. We do not own the stores. Working capital also... we are able to leverage better... Currently, we are running the business on a negative working capital.
Viraj Kacharia · SiMPL
directWhat attracted you to NACL and comparison with Sabero?
See, NSCL is again more or less similar to our business model. Focuses mainly on genetic space... Comparing this to Sabero, Sabero is more of an AI play in the export market, whereas Nagarjuna has got all the three segments.

directWhy are NACL margins low and how to improve?
NSCL used to make margins in the range of 10%-11% in the past, which came down to 4%-5%. Our aim would be to first restore the margin back to 10%-11%...

directFertilizer margin compression in Q4 due to sulfur?
Of course, sulfur plays the trade role, but other than that, there's no inventory impact. Rather, we have improved on the channel inventory with improved liquidation.
