Karnataka Regulatory Recovery Still Incomplete
Regulatory issues in Karnataka that began in Q1 have only partially recovered as of Q3, continuing to weigh on volumes despite gradual quarter-on-quarter improvement.
Raw Material Cost Inflation Not Passable
Barley prices up 5-6% and glass bottles up 3-4% quarterly; management acknowledged inability to pass on price increases due to annual price-finalization policy. This margin compression was not addressed with any mitigation plan.
Volume Guidance Credibility Gap
Previous guidance of ₹800 crore H2 revenue now appears unachievable given Q3 at only ₹254 crore. Management revised full-year target to ₹1,500 crore, implying aggressive Q4 recovery that has not been demonstrated in recent quarters.
