Q&A highlights
Management's answers to analyst questions, in Parakho's words rather than a transcript. Each row names who answered and carries the verbatim quote it was drawn from.
Management said margin guidance remains range-bound and the Q4 dip was due to steel prices, which were largely passed through to customers.
Answered by Sanjay Singhania
Asked by Anuj Shah: Is management chasing growth too aggressively by adding capacity ahead of confirmed orders, and what is the margin outlook given capacity expansion?
p. 5
“our guidance has always been that it will be range bound between 10.5% to 11.5% and we could achieve 10.5% last year.”
Sanjay Singhania, page 5 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management said order booking targets are set annually rather than monthly and expects Mambattu utilization of 75-80% with limited overall margin impact.
Answered by Sanjay Singhania
Asked by Karan Gupta: What is the run rate of order booking and how will sandwich panel utilization affect margins?
p. 7
“Giving the, like run rate or average run rate per month and guiding towards it is difficult in a project business because there are certain projects which take little time to finalize”

Management attributed the decline mainly to a steel price spike in March and expects margins to normalize with price increments already secured.
Answered by Rahul Agarwal
Asked by Devang Patel: Is the Q4 gross margin decline only due to steel prices or other factors, and can it recover?
p. 17
“This is majorly because of the steel prices going up, a sudden burp in steel prices more so in the month of March and we are pretty sure with the price increments that we have got in this quarter that the margin will fall back to the original levels.”

Answered by Rahul Agarwal
Asked by Ronald Siyoni: Are receivables and inventory days rising due to market-wide payment tightening?
p. 19
“if you look closely our receivable on a average debtor is around 62 days, which is commendable and that has come on back of good collections.”

Management estimated peak revenue potential of Rs 500-600 crore from the Gujarat expansion, citing high asset turns typical of the PEB business.

p. 21

Rahul Agarwal, page 21 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management said the West's order book share fell from about 30% to 17-18% because capacity was concentrated in the South, and a new West plant should raise the West's share.
Answered by Nikhil Bothra
Asked by Subhanu Bangal: Why has the West region's share of revenue mix continuously declined despite capacity there?
p. 13
“in the last financial '24-'25, we had around 30% order book from the West, but last year it was around 17% to 18%.”
