The plant that was expected to break even in FY26 continues to incur losses (6 crore in Q3). While management targets substantial reduction in Q4, full turnaround pushed to FY28, representing a 2-year delay from initial expectations.
An analyst highlighted gross margins declining from 60%+ (FY17-24) to 50-55% despite higher-margin GD product introduction. Management attributed this to tile price declines outpacing input cost reductions, without providing clear margin recovery timeline.
Despite reporting improved retail walk-ins, management declined to quantify volume growth and capacity utilization remains at 80%, below the 85% seen in Q2, indicating underlying demand weakness.
Brass prices increased 22-26% since April (570-580 to 770-780 per kg) but only 15-day pass-through occurred for bath fittings; tile realizations remain under pressure from discounting controls that may take months to normalize.
