Raw Material Cost Inflation
Depreciating rupee, escalating costs across raw materials, packaging materials, solvents, and transportation driven by geopolitical developments. Management has implemented three price increases but sustainability of pass-through remains uncertain.
Export Logistics Constraints
Global container availability constrained towards end of Q4 and into early FY27, with shipment delays experienced including to Africa. Management characterizes this as episodic and manageable rather than structural.
Working Capital Extension
Net working capital days increased to 103 from 89 days year-over-year due to deliberate inventory buildup ahead of kharif. This represents tied-up capital in a rising cost environment.
