Management Commentary
Mr. Rajeev Setia, Joint Managing Director & CFO, highlighted the resilience shown despite global supply chain disruptions. He noted that Q4FY26 revenue was supported by sharp export volume growth and improved realizations. The company faced temporary logistical disruptions leading to the deferment of approximately 170–180 export containers and higher freight costs due to rerouting. To mitigate these costs, the company has initiated claims under the government-backed ECGC ‘Relief’ framework.
During the analyst call, management addressed the impact of geopolitical tensions on exports. While ocean freight and insurance costs have risen, these are largely passed on to buyers. The company reported that exports to regions like Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan via the Red Sea route continue without disruption. Management also indicated that they are focusing on the USA and Europe for future growth and are exploring opportunities with a large Saudi Arabian importer, potentially adding 30,000–40,000 tons of business. Regarding domestic expansion, the company is increasing its presence in e-commerce and quick commerce platforms under its brand.
