Management Commentary
Management noted that overall business performance returned to track in H2'FY26, with order flows from the Salmon aquaculture business and the U.S. market fully normalizing in the last quarter. However, production and shipments were affected by the Middle East conflict that began in March 2026, resulting in a significant increase in goods in transit. The company also experienced an unprecedented increase in raw material prices in March 2026, which delayed domestic dealer offtake. Despite these challenges, the Geo-synthetics business continued its excellent growth momentum on profitability and ROCE.
