India has suddenly come under a lot of pressure... with almost 25% reciprocal and a 25% penalty tariff on top of the HTS tariff or the MFN tariff that we have.
We are confident of a moderate growth plans that we have highlighted earlier. A recent situation does provide some unusual challenges and simultaneously some significant growth opportunities for Pearl Global.
The tariff impact of INR 11.75 crore approximately 9% of our group Q1 revenue is what has been impacted in Q1 itself. Going forward, the strategy is to move production out of India for US orders.
A major and long-awaited development was the India US bilateral trade deal which reduces the tariff from 50% to 18%, significantly enhancing India's textile export competitiveness.
The only risk that I see is many retailers had have a very high exposure to Bangladesh. So for example Bangladesh is today known for denim manufacturing. They have almost like 90% or 100% of their business coming off from one country.
Certainly our target is to really move to those double-digit EBITDA at standalone and at a group level and we are definitely working towards it. All this FDA and the trade barrier going out and one of the costs also getting cooled down next financial year we are well positioned to achieve this double-digit number.
We continue to sustain our growth momentum in topline and bottom line despite the challenging and uncertain macro environment driven by our focused execution multilocation and the multilocation presence.
We are pretty confident at this stage to really maintain 10% a bit for the full year as we start FI27.
If our global leaders continue to be sensible, I think that's the kind of rate that we have planned for.
