Q1 volume growth was driven by lower-margin Agri and Infrastructure pipes (Nal Se Jal, Maharashtra government order ~INR 480 crore over 40 months) which carry 30-day credit terms and nominal margins. Management expects mix to improve in remaining quarters but this represents a structural margin headwind if government orders accelerate.
Company reported 12% volume degrowth in CPVC segment due to counterfeit pipe producers in North and East India. While legal action has been taken, management acknowledged losing some business volume during the enforcement period. Recovery is expected but timing uncertain.
PVC prices increased $50-80/ton internationally over four weeks, after Q1 decline of INR 5-13/kg. Management noted volatility will persist but expects prices to remain range-bound with current upward bias. Sharp price increases could impact competitive positioning vs. CPVC alternatives.
Analyst asked about CPVC raw material prices declining and whether this would be passed to channels. Management confirmed prices are falling due to multiple suppliers entering the market. This could pressure realizations in the CPVC segment which already faced 12% volume degrowth from counterfeit competition.
