How might the implementation of India's four new Labour Codes impact Somany Ceramics' employee benefit costs and overall profitability in FY27 beyond the one-time exceptional provisions already recognized?

Will the ₹8 crore investment in Vintage Tiles' solar power plant and manufacturing upgrade meaningfully reduce Somany Ceramics' energy costs and improve consolidated margins over the next 2-3 years, given VTPL's declining turnover trend?

Could the significant improvement in cash and cash equivalents — more than doubling to ₹12,833 lakh — signal potential for accelerated capital allocation toward acquisitions, capacity expansion, or higher dividends in FY27?
