Guidance record · Q1 FY27
what the last two calls moved 24 tracked 2 delivered 3 missed 19 open- FY26 Volume Growth missed said Q4 FY25 Promised: 20% to 25% volume growth for FY '26 Q1 FY27: Historical promise, not mentioned. Superseded by new FY27 guidance.
- Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) at risk said Q4 FY25 Promised: Confident of achieving 25% ROCE in next 2 years Q1 FY27: Management reiterates a 25% ROCE target, but ties it to a long-term (FY31) INR 5,000 cr revenue goal. The original 2-year promise (by Q4 FY27) is highly unlikely given current 7% normalized EBITDA margins.
- Capacity Expansion on track said Q1 FY26 Promised: Expand total installed capacity to 2,86,000 tons over the next 2 years, without adding any debt Q1 FY27: Reiterated FY27 capex of INR 100cr to be funded from operating cash flow, with the company being 'almost net cash'.
