Anti-dumping investigations against Chinese and EU imports have been delayed due to DGTR administrative restructuring. Findings were originally expected December 2025 but now expected within 1.5-2 months from Q3 call. Analyst Radha raised concern about potential routeing via Southeast Asia to circumvent duties — management clarified anti-dumping applies on country-of-origin basis, not supply route.
While MD expects 50% of lost US volumes to return within 2-3 months, analyst Nidhi Dud flagged that European markets also showed demand weakness beyond tariff effects. Sequential export decline in Q3 and 8-9% YoY decline for 9M indicates structural demand softness in key export markets.
Analyst Nidhi Dud specifically asked whether gross margins per kg had hit the lowest levels ever, even below Q2. Management acknowledged Q3 EBITDA per kg was at the lower end of the spectrum, despite cost savings of Rs 23 crore embedded in 9M results. Raw material prices have started uptick and management expects to pass through increases, but timing lag could compress near-term margins.
New products expected to contribute 10-12% of total volumes at peak are in soft launch phase with slow ramp-up. MD explicitly stated FY27 will still be on the slower side, with FY28 being the year volumes are expected to accelerate — a 2-year timeline from initial launch with customer approval delays possible given large customer qualification cycles.
