The short read

Management attributed lower sales volumes, down 26% year-on-year on a standalone basis, to demand disruption in the non-OEM and unorganized sector linked to raw material price volatility following disruption in the Middle East. Management said the ABS capacity expansion remains on track for completion within the current financial year but declined to give an exact month or a volume guidance for the year.

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 the drop was broad-based but more pronounced in the non-OE/unorganized sector, roughly 15-25% overall.
Answered by Rahul Agrawal
Asked by Nirav Jimudia: How much did demand drop this quarter across ABS and PS, and was it OE or non-OE demand that was impacted?
p. 4
“we normally don't give breakup of volumes between all the different segments. So I would not be able to do that.”
Rahul Agrawal, page 4 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management said the quarter's elevated margins were a snapshot from a specific event and should not be treated as sustainable; investors should use pre-event levels as the base.
Answered by Rahul Agrawal
Asked by Aditya Khetan: What is the sustainable margin run-rate once the current benefits reverse?
p. 7
“I think one has to consider whatever happened prior to these events as the sustainable performance.”
Rahul Agrawal, page 7 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management said it is best to assume margins normalize to prior levels rather than assume expansion.
Answered by Rahul Agrawal
Asked by Priyank Chheda: Should margins settle at a higher level once things normalize, given import cost parity changes and capacity additions?
p. 9
“I think for the purpose of our analysis, it is best to assume that things would normalize to the same level and rather than assume that there will be any significant expansion of margins”

Answered by Rahul Agrawal

Rahul Agrawal, page 18 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management declined to narrow the timeframe further than the financial year, citing safety and compliance priorities in a brownfield expansion.
Answered by Rahul Agrawal
Asked by Ronak Chheda: Can management give a more specific timeframe (e.g., Q3) for the capex go-live rather than 'this financial year'?
p. 18
“It takes time and a lot of priorities of safety, environment and our obligations in terms of compliances, all of those have to be handled carefully and those remain vital.”
