How might Caplin Point's ₹1,000+ Crore capex pipeline, particularly the COL Injectable Facility and OSD Facility targeting US and EU markets, impact revenue mix and margin profile over the next 3 years?

Given Caplin Steriles USA's strong first-year performance of $11 million revenue with 26% EBITDA, what scale of US revenue contribution could realistically be expected once the COL-II facility becomes operational in late FY27?

With receivables at 136 days and a significant portion of revenue concentrated in emerging markets like Latin America and Africa, how exposed is Caplin Point to currency devaluation risks in these geographies?
