Working Capital Elevation
Working capital increased due to tariff uncertainty requiring buffer inventory, geopolitical tensions (Iran-Israel, Gaza, UK-Russia) affecting freight and goods movement, and regulatory payment term changes in certain regions. Translation impact on debt was ~₹600 crores.
Module & Polymer Margin Compression
M&P division EBITDA margin fell from ~9% to ~6-6.5% due to European automotive production decline surprising Q4 FY25, customer model transition timing, and acquisition integration costs. Management expects this to be the peak impact quarter.
