Reasons for sequential dip in aluminum standalone margins and outlook.

There's a startup of a new plant in shagari. We have incurred operational losses in the first quarter to prove out all the parts totally. So as a consolidated I mean as a standalone it affected the standalone because it's quite also significant plant.

Utilization levels for 5.8 million capacity and alloy wheel margins.

We have not even touched 50% of the installed capacity I would say because of the high variety of parts which are under is all subject to BS approval also and the model developments and also customer validation.

Outlook for powertrain segment given CV and tractor recovery.

Tractor is doing very well in this financial year and commercial vehicle is showing sometimes green shoots of some marginal growth. The more interesting portion will come in the coming years when commercial vehicle moves to the higher engine capacities and gearbox capacities.

Timeline for Sunbeam to reach double-digit margins.

We will be seeing margins from Q2 of next year improving at we'll end the year for a 10% or sort of EBITDA level from the current year of around 7% totally.

Sustainability of sharp jump in industrial and engine segment EBITDA margin.

Yes, it is sustainable and with the operating leverage which we are now started to generate, we will see margin expansion in the next financial year.

Operating margin trajectory for Q4 and FY27.

I think it doesn't hold good for many reasons for example aluminium exports from China has been dropped by 8% so aluminium prices have jumped by around 16%... So I would kindly request you to look at the gross margin and the margin versus the EBITDA margins or EBITDA margins versus the gross margins.

Order book split for stationary engines between prime and backup power.

Our customers do not tell us whether it's for prime power or backup power. So we have no and these are fungible at least the product what we make is fungible.

Demand from Scramberg acquisition beyond data centers and steady-state margins.

Energy per se has been growing not significantly in the past but this data centers or AI has driven the energy to be suddenly spike... but it'll not be as high as this what is happening.

Current debt levels and working capital impact from GST reduction demand surge.

On the powertrain, I think there is no increased requirement of working capital per se in aluminium. I think the delta price of the price increase will have that marginal 10% or 15% increase in the working capital requirement.

Benefit from aluminum price increase on product-level pricing vs tonnage basis.

We never have ever quoted for tonnage basis at all. Aluminium is a calculated material cost and that is it and that is anybody can calculate it not only the customer.

Capex for 9 months and full year, and current debt level.

I think this can be taken offline on this subject various subsidies also we have to as I mentioned consolidated net debt to EBITDA it is 2.55 as of now... we are looking at standalone capex for craftsman around close to 400 cr this year

Plan to reduce debt and target debt-to-EBITDA in FY27.

We already sold anything debt below debt to EBITDA below two is compatible and we like to stabilize at 1.5 when we have gone through this big growth cycle. So as we speak it is 2.5 in spite of the land not getting sold
