What management said would happen.
expansion
Positive operating cash flow by H1 FY27
Management expects positive operating cash flow in H1 FY27 as working capital deployment from FY26 converts into cash generation as stores mature and inventory efficiency improves.
Manufacturing capacity utilization to reach 80-82% by FY27-28
Current capacity utilization of 50-55% is targeted to increase to 80-82% by end of FY27-28 through automation introduction and volume growth, improving operating leverage.
EBITDA margin recovery to 8-9% range
Management expects margins to improve from current 6.34% toward 8-9% in coming quarters as export order timing normalizes, raw material volatility subsides, and operating leverage improves.
Store expansion target of 60-65 stores by FY27
Management plans to open 10-15 stores annually, maintaining strict payback discipline without forced expansion. Current store count at 49.
Private label contribution to increase from 17% to 22%+
Focus on placement of private label products, entering suburban markets, and introducing new SKUs under Indian Chuska and Patel Fresh brands.
No major manufacturing capex required for 2-3 years
Current installed capacity sufficient to meet supply requirements; only minor modifications for new product lines (e.g., mango pulp to tomato puree) may require minimal capex.
Target to introduce new product line every 6-7 months
Planned product progression: instant noodles from atata units, seasonings from spices, peanut butter and snacks from peanut processing, tahini from sesame processing. Focus on market research before launch.
