Good afternoon, everyone.
On behalf of Triton Valves Limited, it is my
pleasure to welcome you to today’s investor
meeting being held through video conference. We
sincerely appreciate your time and participation,
and we are grateful for the interest and
confidence you have shown in our Company.
Today on the call from the management team we have
with us Mr. Aditya Gokarn, Chairman and Managing
Director, Mr. Naresh Varadarajan, Group CFO and
my self Bibhuti Bhusan Mishra, Company Secretary
of Triton Valves Limited. As a disclaimer, please

Company website. With this note I handover the
session to the Managing Director to brief us
business and performance highlights for the
period ended March 31st 2026 and take this meeting
forward, post which we will open the session for
Q & A.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Yeah so as usual, we've just prepared a quick
slide deck to kind of just walk investors through
the performance of the company. So I'll just start
with the safe harbour declaration as usual, as we
all know, the presentation and discussion may
contain certain words and phrases that could be
considered as forward looking and these are based
on current expectations of the management and the

What we've got for everybody is about little bit
about the group business, the key growth drivers
and some financial highlights just to kind of give
a flavor of what the group looks like, what's
group structure before and after merger. So at
the moment, Triton Valves Limited is the holding
company and it's also the automotive vertical of
the company. There are three subsidiaries one is
Triton Valves Hong Kong Limited, SPV now inactive.
This models Future Tech Private Limited, which is
our metals vertical, and the Tritonvalves
Climatech Private Limited, which is our climate
control vertical, right. So post-merger, the
holding company will have right now's Triton Valve
Hong Kong as one subsidiary and Tritonvalves
Future Tech as 2nd subsidiary. The climate control
vertical will amalgamate with the holding
company. So the holding company will then have,
It'll be subject to segment reporting, so it'll
have two segments, the automotive segment and the
climate control segment, right. So once the merger
is completed in the financials, we will be showing
those we will be showing segment reporting
basically, right. That's how it's gonna look like.
Why are we doing this in the 1st place? Why are
we doing this merger? We believe that, you know,
synergies of common supply fulfillment will kick
in, procurement production and dispatch. There's
also going to be some income tax benefits that
will accrue to the amalgamated, right.
Manufacturing and indirect tax efficiencies like
GST you know cash lock and all that which can be
utilized. So that's the whole completed 50 years
of our existence in September 2025. We announced
three: one bonus, right, to commemorate the 50th
year of the company and we continue to grow, we
continue to expand our networks, our business in
various countries within India, outside India as
well and of course we're keeping a, a close watch
on the emerging situation with regard to the
Middle East crisis and I think we are fairly well
positioned to overcome whatever challenges we are
going to see as a consequence of that. At the
----------------Page (3) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 4 of 32
group level, metal view and the automotive view
support each other and they kind of, you know,
they, act as, you know, kind of an internal hedge,
right. So to a large extent we're able to mitigate
commodity risk to some extent for an exchange risk
as well, and we're also able to optimize working,
right. So that's how the kind of the group synergy
operates.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Coming to our business, what we call as the
automotive vertical tyre and tube valves which
are sold, this tubeless valves, the main sales
channel for tubeless valves is vehicle OEMs and
of course there's after market as well. We also
make components for EVs, we'll call it EV valves
for now. We are also now entering the domain of
TPMS, right, TPMS stands for tire pressure
monitoring system. So these are valves for TPMS
sensors, right, which eventually go into cars. Of
course, like I said, we have the after-market
vertical which we like to think of as kind of B
to B to C, right. That's how we kind of look at
this channel of sales and of course we have
exports with the metals vertical, of course, we
do the standard I would say brass, bars and coils
and also now we are doing special alloys, right,
like tubes or what we might call this hollow rods.
So we are kind of moving the product portfolio
into a kind of a pyramid structure where, you
know, we are trying to develop higher value added
alloys as we go along. In the climate control
vertical, we have service valves, charging
valves, we do distributors and many small big
accessories that go along with this portfolio and
most of these components goes to room AC air-
conditioners and some of them go into commercial,
right. So post the merger of Tritonvalves
climatech with Triton Valves and this is something
that we expect to happen very soon, right, in
fact, all the decks are clear from our side, all
submissions paperwork, everything is through from
our side. The matter is with the NCLT Bangalore
bench and there is no further, you know,
submission pending from our side, whatever
----------------Page (4) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 5 of 32
paperwork that was asked for has all been
submitted. So we expect that the merger, the final
order from NCLT should come in over the next
probably couple of weeks at max, right. So that's
something that will hopefully quite quickly from
here on.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Yeah, so what are the key drivers, right, for an
existing business? At the automotive level, of
course, we, we are a market leader by a big margin
and we are able to meet consistently quality
delivery costs, right. In spite of a very complex
I would say external environment, we have deep, I
would say engineering capabilities, R and D
capabilities that has helped us to make components
for EVs. As all of you probably know, EV
components are patented here in India. TPMS is
also something that we're working on that's also
relatively higher margin product, right, and of
course operational excellence continues to kind
of guide our whole strategy, right, and that's
how we ring fence ourselves against you know
external impacts, currency commodity, and so on.
With the metals vertical, I would say we have what
I would call best in class technology in terms of
our horizontal continuous casting technology. We
also have obviously brought in a lot of lean
manufacturing concepts from our automotive
business. screen is not visible now or Yes. Okay
I'm sorry my colleague tells me that slides were
not visible so maybe i'll just go through the
whole thing once again. The entire thing was not
visible. Oh I'm really sorry. Okay, we'll start
again then. My apologies everybody, I'll just
quickly start from the beginning again. Is it
visible now? All clear? okay
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
So. I'll start right from the beginning, if you
don't mind, I'll just have to start from the
beginning once again. This is the safe harbor,
right, I already spoke about it, so I'll just
leave it on the screen for a couple of seconds.
My sincere apologies once again, I didn't know it
----------------Page (5) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 6 of 32
was not visible, right. This was the index about
the company, our business key growth drivers and
financial highlights, slide that I was trying to
explain in terms of what is the current structure
of the company and what is the structure going to
be like once the merger is done, right. So this
is the kind of the pre and post-merger scenario.
I was just saying we expect that the NCLT order
approving the amalgamation of Triton Valves
Limited with the Tritonvalves Climatech Private
Limited should come through for the next week to
two weeks at max, right, so we expect it's just
at the final stage now. right. I spoke a little
bit about our 50 year celebrations and you know
the bonus that we gave to our shareholders also
talked about the fact that you know we are quite
focused on understanding the impact of the Middle
East situation and so far we have been able to
kind of manage the situation fairly ok. We'll talk
about a little more detail maybe in the Q and A
this is the business verticals that I was talking
about, the automotive vertical I kind of explained
all the different segments, right, of the
automotive vertical, the metals vertical and the
climate control vertical. So maybe you can just
you know take a look at this slide for a moment.
I was talking about what's driving our business
today. Automotive obviously we're seeing a good
traction. I'll talk a little bit more about what's
the kind of volume that we're seeing. In the
metals vertical also, right, we are seeing that,
you know, there is a lot of demand coming through
and I think we are quite well positioned to take
up that demand. I actually the West Asia crisis
has a little bit actually helped us here, right.
There's been a shortage of brass and let's say
copper scrap coming in from the Middle East and
you know that's kind of actually, helped us a
little bit, I would say, to capture little
segments that we were not present in either two.
The climate control vertical obviously is a very
new vertical for us. It's a high potential
vertical, but at the moment, this vertical is
actually under a bit of pressure due to the
dumping that is happening from China into the
----------------Page (6) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 7 of 32
India market and we'll talk a little bit about
that as we go along after the obviously revenue
and margin, we continue to focus on all the three
verticals. We are strengthening export to the
depreciating rupee, right. Also we continue to
engage with all our customers for, you know, price
corrections wherever necessary. In terms of
capital allocation, I would say that, you know,
we are trying to allocate funds for some of our
automation projects, you know, our business
excellence projects as well which will see long
term let's say EBITDA you know a creative kind of
actions coming through. Obviously we evaluate all
projects with zero base, right. For better cost
benefit, and of course, you know, maximizing
synergies between our different verticals. There
are a lot of synergies that we can actually
further express track going forward. So we'll talk
a little bit about this as we go along as well.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Quick, you know, slide to just explain what we
plan for in Q4 and what we actually achieved,
right. So if you look at the Q4 sales, right,
obviously we saw a lot of growth in the automotive
vertical. The metal vertical, we saw a little bit
of I would say problems coming in due to the, I
would say Middle East crisis which have now kind
of been sorted out. Our second casting line in
the metals vertical has also been, I would say
commissioned in all respects, we are going full
blast right now in terms of production. Also I
would say the climate control business didn't
perform really, very well in in in Q3 and Q4 as
well. I think the market has not been very, very
good for the air conditioners industry over the
last, I would say three to six months. Many
challenges, you know, commodity costs went up.
The market demand didn't actually pan out as
expected. There was a lot of expectation around,
you know, a hot summer and all of that. I think a
lot of that actually didn't come through as
expected. And of course, you know, you were
always, you know, focused on, you know, getting
our profitability up.
----------------Page (7) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 8 of 32
So if you look at our FY 26, adjusted PBT that is
we remove the exceptional item that was the labor
code impact, our PBT would have been about 15 and
a half crores. So I would say roughly doubling
from the previous year. So while we're happy with
that, I think we could have surely done a lot
better and that's something that we're working on
going forward into Q1 of FY 27. Of course all the
activities related to the bonus issue have been
completed. All the, you know, bonus shares have
been the listing and trading approvals went
through quite smoothly, so that's also something
we want to just highlight about Q4.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
This just to kind of give everybody a little
perspective, I think this is quite an interesting
slide that Naresh has prepared for all of us. So
if you really look at the currency movement and
the commodity movement, right, this is just to
show you over the last, let's say 15 months how
the situation has been. So what you can see here
is basically one way movement, right. Dollar has
gone from like 86 and a half to somewhere about
93 and a half as we know at the moment it's trading
probably about 95, right, at the moment and if
you look at copper as well, you can see copper
zink everything is moved kind of one way, right.
So what this actually does is for companies like
us, it creates a situation where every quarter we
are catching up with the cost of the previous
quarter. So in the automotive business, basically
we do a quarterly commodity indexation with our
customers for passing through commodity changes.
So throughout the year, we've actually been
playing catch up, right. Every quarter the price
goes up and by the time we pass it on to the
customers in the subsequent quarter again it's
gone up the next quarter and so we are constantly
running behind I would say the customers for price
corrections, but we keep getting impacted in in
the subsequent quarters. So just to give you a
little bit of a flavor of what is the impact,
right. Our calculation is that, you know, the
impact on EBITDA and PBT is about 1.75 crores
----------------Page (8) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 9 of 32
during the year, right. So had this constant one-
way movement not happened, our profitability
would have been higher by close to 2 crores,
right. That's the way we look at it. So that's
something that, you know, we are now kind of
deeply engaged with in terms of, you know,
figuring out how we can mitigate these kind of
impacts going forward. It's a hard thing to do,
and in a way I would say that, you know, the cost
impact actually gets passed on eventually to the
customer base, right. It does go into the market
subsequent quarters, but until things stabilize a
little bit or we see some kind of slide movement,
some quarters going down, if there was even one
or two quarters, right, where we would have seen
a little bit of a downside movement, we would have
been able to make this up, right. But anyway, I
think it's been a bit of an unusual year for us
that we've just seen one way movement and you know
after the Middle East crisis started, all the
costs of, you know, oil related products, crude
oil derivatives, it could be butyl rubber, EPDM
carbon black, rubber processing oil, lubricants,
diesel everything is moved up, right. Of course
we will be passing on those increases to our
customer base as well, right. But initially the
company takes a hit and then, you know, we pass
it on in the subsequent quarter, so there is a
bit of a lag right now that we are experiencing
and we are obviously hoping that things will
stabilize at some point of time and until that
happens, we're putting in place some other
countermeasures to kind of protect the bottom
line, right.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
So, a quick I would say overview of the quarter
1st so, if you look at year on year, right, we
grew from about 142 crores in the previous year
to about 159 crores in Q4 of this year and if you
look at the sequential performance, we're up from
about a hundred and 152 crores to 159 crores. So
I would say, fairly you know good growth in the
right direction I would say. So we're heading in
the right path. A little bit of I would say EBITDA
----------------Page (9) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 10 of 32
erosion because of the reasons that I just
explained commodity and dollar moving up
simultaneously, right, which is fairly unusual
because in the in our experience we've typically
seen copper and US dollar usually hedged against
each other. One goes up, the other goes down, but
we've seen this fairly unusual movement over the
last two, three months, but of course it should,
it should average out and you know even out over
a period of time. So in spite of that, I would
say if you look at our PBT, this is adjusted for
exceptional expenses. Of course we didn't have
any exceptional expenditure in Q4. So Y-O-Y I'd
say we have from one crore we've gone to about
4.7 crores, so we almost gone up four and a half
times in terms of our PBT for the quarter or the
previous year. But having said that over the
sequential quarter, I would say a marginal
improvement in PBT but anyway, I think these are
I would say the challenges that we're currently
facing in spite of, you know, growing volumes
quite significantly and we'll just talk a little
bit about that growth, in the next slide.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Yeah, so if you look at the this is of course the
console numbers for the full year, if I look at
the console numbers for the whole year, we're
basically looking at if you see the three
verticals, right, what is their real, you know,
standalone sales? Auto was at 434 crores. Metals
at 383 crores climate control at about 17 crores.
So before elimination of intercompany sales, the
actual, you know, I would say aggregate sales is
about 834 crores. After netting of Interco sales,
we are at about 578 crores, right. So, so we've
grown I would say about 18 % over the previous
years, 488 crores, right. EBITDA up about say
close to 20 % from about 32 crores to about 40.7
crores. This of course includes other income as
well and adjusted PBT of course close to doubling
over the previous year and yeah the rest of the
numbers are quite obvious for everybody to see.
So I'd say yeah, profitability wise, it's been a
better year for us. Perhaps not as good as we
----------------Page (10) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 11 of 32
would have liked, but, but fair enough, I would
say still a decent growth considering the
challenges that we face throughout the year.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
This is the balance sheet, what the balance sheet
looks like and the and the cash flow. So, if you
look at our current ratio, look at our
receivables, payables, cash conversion, Debt
equity, DSCR is like close to two now, so like
1.9. ROCE moved up into the double digits about
11.1 %. So I'd say on the, on the balance sheet
side, really nothing much to be concerned about.
Like I said perhaps we could have done even better
than this, maybe at least a couple of crores
better. But anyway, I would say that networth is
up about close to close to 19 to 20 crores. We've
kept our loans and long term liabilities under
reasonable control. For the growth that we have
got of about 18 % on the top line, we have managed
to keep our debt levels fairly constant at about
a 135 cores. So I would say fairly decent I would
say, a snapshot of the balance sheet. If you look
at our operating cash operating profit of about
38.7 crores, working capital increase about 13
crores, tax about four and a half crores. Of
course post-merger, we will be seeing a lot of
tax benefits coming through. Our estimate is
possibly like over six to seven crores of the tax
shield would accrue, of course subject to
assessments and things like that, but that's the
high level calculation that we have. Operating
cash flow about 21 crores. So I'd say, yeah, it's
been cash profit wise it's been a fairly decent
year for us, obviously could have been better. So
I think we'll, we'll stop here for, Q and A and
yeah, I'd be happy to take any questions from any
of the investors, so over to you Bibhuti.
Bibhuti Bhusan Mishra:
Yeah, thank you Sir. Yeah so the floor is open
for Q and A session for a span of say 20 mins. So
investors kindly unmute and show their video and
mention their names
before asking questions. You
may also write your question in the message box,
----------------Page (11) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 12 of 32
all the questions raised during the Q and A will
be collated and consolidated replies will be
provided at the end by the managing Director.
Please note that the company reserves the right
to limit the number of questions based on the
timeline. However, investors can ask subject to
maximum 2 questions, so with this note I hand over
the session to investors and may ask your
questions.
Sudhir:
So may I ask the question?
Bibhuti Bhusan Mishra:
Yeah, so take the 1st call from Mr. Sudhir.
Sudhir:
Yeah, I am Sudhir from Bedha Family office. Aditya
Ji congratulations on good set of numbers given
the situation I think numbers are very decent and
you are able to perform. But see my questions are
like in brass division what volume you are
expecting for the current FY 27 because 2nd line
has already started and the margin profile of
brass division as I understand there are a lot of
value added products are also being will be
produced. So if you can guide the volume growth
of the brass and margin profile if possible.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Yeah, thank you Sudhir Bhai for joining today and
just to quickly come to your questions, in terms
of volume growth, we actually are planning for a
very high, I would say volume growth this year in
future tech, in terms of the brass mill, we are
seeing huge actually order book right now. The
only thing that we are, you know, doing in terms
of trying to kind of manage our risk is to go a
little bit slow to ensure that we don't over kind
of burden ourselves with debt as we grow, right.
So as you can imagine, like I showed you in in
one of the slides, right, brass at the beginning
of last year was INR 600 per kilo. Today future
take is selling brass at between 950 to INR 1000
----------------Page (12) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 13 of 32
per kilo, right. So the brass price has gone up
like 50 % year on year, right. You would have
noticed that we've managed to keep the loans and
the overall borrowing relatively under control,
kept it flat literally flat year on year. Why are
we doing this? We're doing this to kind of keep
in mind that there is potentially also a bubble
in the market, right. If I really look at the way
copper is going up, dollar is going up, there is
a strong feeling in the market that there might
be a bubble and that bubble might burst at some
point of time, right. So the only reason why we
are tempering our ambition down a little bit is
to ensure that if the situation reverses, we
should not be caught on the wrong foot, right, so
having said that, I'll say that there will be
strong double digit growth that we will definitely
see in future tech this year. A typical dynamic
in the brass industry is that, you know, when
price goes very, very high, like unprecedented
high a little bit of slowdown happens initially
because, you know, people take time to digest the
price like today, you know, customer is told a
thousand rupees a kilo for brass, they're little
bit hesitate for a while, they probably wait for
a little while thinking maybe it'll come down.
And then eventually, obviously, you know,
sometimes it doesn't come down, it just remains
where it is or it goes out then the orders, you
know, start getting booked once again. So there
are these little bit of ebbs and flows that happen
when prices suddenly change, right. Because
people want to kind of wait and watch a little
bit right so in spite of these kind of dynamics,
I'd say that our internal growth plan, would be
to grow at anywhere between 15 to 25 % in volumes
over the previous year, right.
Sudhir:
Yeah, by the volume of brass for FY 27?
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
For FY 27 or FY 26? Yes. I, I would like to grow
even faster than that in the sense that as you.
----------------Page (13) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 14 of 32
Sudhir:
Volume you will do in FY 27 in yeah ok.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Let me just tell you in numbers if you want.
Sudhir:
Margin profile if you can throw like.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
We would be looking at, we would be looking at a
tonnage in excess of 7000 tons for the year.
Sudhir:
Great, great. And margin profile if you can you
know.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Yeah, so I'll definitely say one thing, the margin
profile will be much better than the previous
year. There's like literally no doubt in that,
right. I don't want to put a number on it by today
if you can permit me to not put a number on it
because see there are there are dynamics in the
market. Like I said, there is of course copper is
at a historic high. Today also copper went up. We
are like trending towards $14000 per ton. Dollar
is at, you know, 95 plus you know in this kind of
environment, typically what would happen is that
while we would be making value added products,
optically our percentage, let's say our EBITDA
percentage will tend to look lower, right. Even
though in rupee terms EBITDA will grow. In
percentage terms, it will optically road because
see our margins are not something that are going
to necessarily grow in proportion to the copper
price.
Sudhir:
Per ton margin if you can throw light on that non
margin would be the right calculation because the
----------------Page (14) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 15 of 32
prices are fluctuating too much so i think margin
would be the right indicators.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Yeah, so it it would be something like rupees per
kilo, right, if you look at what is going to be
our margin in rupees per kilo, it's definitely
going to grow in proportion to the growth in
sales, right. Obviously, you know, in percentage
terms it would look different. I'll give you I'll
give you like a scenario, right, let's assume
today I'm selling at let's say a gross margin of
let's say ₹60 a kilo, right, INR 60 on let's say
INR 900, Right, if brass price goes to 1100- 1200,
that 60 obviously might go up a little bit, it
might go to 65-70, right. But it may not go up in
proportion to the actual increase in the copper
price, right, so percentage wise optically it
might even fall. It entirely depends on the copper
price. I'll give an another scenario, if copper
like suddenly crashes, if copper crashes from
14000 to let's say 10000, our margins optically
in percentage would suddenly start looking great,
you know, because if it drops also, it's not that
our realization per kilo is going to drop, right.
Sudhir:
Per ton Margin if you can guide.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
See per kilo, I, think that's something that, you
know, that that's a number we don't like to
normally talk about, you know, that's little bit
of competitive information we would be revealing,
you know, our competitors would get to know what
we are doing, how we are doing it. So that's
something that perhaps in a public forum like this
I would like to comment on. But I'll assure you
one thing by it will be something significantly
better than the previous year. When I say
----------------Page (15) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 16 of 32
significantly I'm talking like double digits,
right, Improvement over the previous year.
Sudhir:
Yeah and can you throw some light on your new
products development and the way forward for new
products, you know, a lot of products are under
development. Yeah, please some new color on that
and the margin profile also in those products.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Yeah, ok so you're looking at across all the three
business verticals? Are you asking me
specifically with regard to Future Tech?
Sudhir:
Yeah, yeah, for the console group level, new
products in Future Tech also, new products in
automotive business also.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Yeah. So, I'll 1st maybe give you a little bit of
a, a flavor on volume growth. I believe that in
all the verticals, when I say all the verticals
let me specify, the tire tube vertical, the
vehicle OEM vertical, the EV vehicle vertical, as
well as the metals vertical, right? These four
verticals, we are looking at strong double digit
numbers in FY 27, right. So we are looking at
definitely about 10-11-12 % growth in volumes in
all these, in all these segments, right. Some of
that is going to come from new product development
as you said, right. So as we disclosed to the
stock market recently we've closed a deal with
AUMOVIO, formerly known as continental automotive
for TPMS valve, that's a new development that will
go into serial production we expect by end of this
year. There is another two I would say, two large
deals that are still in the pipeline. If things
go well, those two kind of deals will also see us
going into mass production for new products by
early next year, right. So that will be last
quarter out of FY 27 and going a little bit bigger
into the Q1 FY 28, right. So that's where we we're
----------------Page (16) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 17 of 32
going to see. So the new product development in
the automotive vertical is going to be around
TPMS. It's going to be around some of the new
components that we are developing now for the
electric vehicle industry, right. There's some
new stuff that we've also been doing. There is
also some new developments they're doing in the
climate control vertical, right. We've already
started a new export business in the US with
another customer for climate control components
in the Q1 itself in Q1 FY 27 some of those export
realizations will come through, right, for the
climate control vertical. These are around some
connectors, some, you know, very special, I would
say patented let's say you know connector. That's
that we've developed for a customer in the US So
that is also going to see some traction. So the
new product development is around these, I would
say themes. TPMS, EVs and some climate control
components. In terms of the metals vertical,
obviously, you know, we are on a bit of a role
right now. The tube development that had been in
the pipeline for the last six months has hit the
market. I think the feedback is extremely
positive. We were expecting, I would say, tube
business to be in the range of, I mean the order
position to be in the range of maybe initially 5-
10-20 tons per month. Today I think our order book
is crossing 50 tons per month already, right and
we expect with another couple of customer
additions that to be working on, that will go up
to close to hundred tons per month, right. So the
tube business itself is going to be a significant
part of our business in a FY 27 metal vertical.
There's another two or three alloys. We've
developed a special alloy now for our European
customer. The 1st container is being shipped out
again. In Q1 FY 27, that container should move
out the production is already done, it should move
out 1st week of June. This is going to Germany.
We have opened our account in terms of exporting
brass ingots to China, right. We've just hooked
our 1st order with a Chinese customer, so I think
that's a small, I would say, achievement actually
for us because the Chinese market is super
----------------Page (17) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 18 of 32
competitive, not very easy market to enter sitting
out of India, but we managed to book the 1st
business, we've got the 1st order for a Chinese
customer and we've also managed in spite of this
Middle East crisis, we have actually now got a
fresh order which was kind of on hold during the
week of the war. That order has now come through
for the Middle East for the defense contracting
company, the next order is also through, right.
And that'll also get shipped out in the 1st week
of June. So, so I can tell you the new product
development in I would say the metals vertical is
going to be around tubes, around defense
requirement and some special high values added
alloys, right.
Sudhir:
Great Sir. and in automated. TPMS and climate
control would be the front driver of the new
products.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Right. Yeah. Yeah, but again, just to temper
expectations sudhir bhai, I put it like this. I
wonder whether you saw the performance of lot of
the air conditioner component manufacturers many
of the listed companies, you can look at, e.g.,
EPACK Durables, you can look at PG electroplast,
you can look at Amber. Amber of course is very,
very diversified, right. So, even if you look at
the AC industry itself, you look at the
performance of Voltas, you look at performance of
of Havells, You look at performance of even LG,
it's not actually been a very good year, right.
For the AC industry, right and they're struggling
quite a bit with the cost and with the demand. So
in spite of that, I think we've, we've also not
done terribly well, right. In the climate control
vertical. There's a lot of Chinese dumping going
on, we are strongly lobbying with government of
India. In fact, even last week, I was in Delhi to
meet the you know commerce ministry officials to
explain to them the problem and, you know, to
request their support to stop this, you know,
indiscriminate dumping that is happening from
----------------Page (18) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 19 of 32
China through these FDA routes coming in through,
you know, Vietnam through Thailand. It's not good
for the country. And I think given our, you know,
trade balances and you know given the way rupee
is now being attacked and it's under severe
pressure, I think government should really step
in and you know not waste foreign currency on,
you know, unnecessary stuff, right. I can
understand if there's some technology that we
don't have and we need to bring from overseas
fine. But you know parts that are available in
India suppliers available in India, just because,
you know, Chinese are dumping and you know
attracting customers with you know ridiculous
pricing and spoiling the market. I don't think
it's a good thing Government should not be
allowing it. So we are strongly lobbying if our
lobbying reaches the right years in the government
and they take some policy measures, I think then
climate control vertical will suddenly start, you
know, delivering fabulous results because the
product that is expect accepted extremely well.
Another thing I'd like to happily report to, you
know, our shareholders is that we've started now
our mass production for Mitsubishi electric. Our
parts were tested in Japan approved. We have
started, you know, mass supplies to mass
production to Mitsubishi Electric in India,
Chennai plant and very soon we will be getting
access to some of their other OCs plants as well
for service works. So our product has been very,
very well accepted. Our product development is
very, very good. Unfortunately, it's only Chinese
dumping that is preventing us from growing that
vertical fast, but we hope that with some policy
intervention coming up on the horizon over the
next three to six months, the QCO was in the
pipeline. Also, you know, we've been lobbying the
government very hard for the MIP- minimum import
price and will continue lobbying because you know,
I think Chinese dumping is not something that is
healthy for the Indian market it should be stopped
and it's been stopped in other products. I don't
know why in our product it should not be stopped.
So yeah, if, if that goes well, then we might see
----------------Page (19) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 20 of 32
an even better, better year than what you know
I'm expecting.
Sudhir:
Thank you Sir, so thank you for the opportunity
and all the best.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
Okay, so we'll we move on to the next question of
Mr. Digant. Thank you for appreciating the
performance Mr.Digant. I wish we could have done
even better but anyway. Okay, I really liked your
1st question. I'm so happy you asked this
question. The question is something like this.
Considering the steep rise and copper prices,
we've still shown decent numbers. Earlier, even a
small rise in raw material used to cause severe
impact on our P and L Now the volatility seems to
have gone. What is the reason for that?(read out
from Chat box of Mr Digant). I'm so delighted that
you asked this question. See, you can just go to
screener, screener.in, right and look at our
quarterly performance over the last, I would say
twelve quarters, right, so if you look at the last
twelve quarters you look at December 2022 quarter
ended December 2022, right, that was a quarter
where copper and zink shut up suddenly, dollars
shut up suddenly. We actually slipped into the
negative in that quarter, right. What has changed?
So this is what I've been trying to kind of
explain to all our shareholders. See basically
the way we've structured now Triton Valves, future
tech and Climatech, the three companies, right,
the synergies that we are able to unlock now is
what is actually helping us to tide over this kind
of situation, right. So Future Tech is a natural
hedge to Triton Valves, right, so when copper
price goes up, Triton Valves takes a hit
profitability wise, but Triton Valves Future Tech
is able to slightly increase their profitability,
right. Given that they price themselves very
----------------Page (20) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 21 of 32
differently, their customer base is you know works
on a different let's say contracting methodology.
The two companies, when you put them together,
right, actually, you will see it a beautiful
synergy emerging, right and that is actually what
has changed. So structurally, I think we are in a
much, much better position today than we were,
let's say twelve quarters ago, right. So we've
kind of structurally changed as a company and
that's why we are confident that in spite of all
these volatile situations, we are still able to
tide over the situation fairly well, right and
going into Q1 also, you will see a little bit of
that because you know a lot of the currency impact
is also coming in Q1, Copper still is climbing in
Q1. So Q1 also actually is not a very, I would
say good situation in India for manufacturing,
right, all costs have gone up. Oil has gone up.
Lubricants have gone up. Chemicals have gone up,
everything that you can imagine, we also buy
brass, apart from brass, we also buy rubber and
rubber chemicals. All prices have short up 40-50-
60 % over the previous let's say quarter, right.
So it is, there is a severe cost push, right now
in the market. In spite of that, I think we will
be able to survive fairly well. Of course, when
the situation stabilizes, we will see an even
better you know bottom line. But in this kind of,
you know, very severe cost push a quarter, I still
believe that we will be able to hold for it,
right. Now I don't want to sound cocky or arrogant
because if dollar tomorrow suddenly goes to a
hundred, hundred and five, right. We'll have to
swallow that hit before we kind of pass it on to
our customers. So I don't want to sound over
confident, right, but having said that,
structurally we are in a better position. That's
all I'd like to say. So I'd I like to rest
everybody's, let's say concerns around this point
that since we are structurally in a better
position, even if we, we do take a bit of hit here
and there when, you know, things go crazy we'll
be able to correct very fast, we'll be able to
secure ourselves very quickly and we'll be able
----------------Page (21) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 22 of 32
to hopefully move on much, much faster than what
we would have been able to do in the past.
Aditya Maruti Gokarn:
So coming to the 2nd question, you said in the
consult results, note number eight regarding
amalgamation, what benefits do you see?(read out
from Chat box of Mr. Digant). Like I mentioned on
the taxation front, on the income tax, of course,
subject to assessments and approval by the
relevant tax authorities, We believe that there
will be a cash benefit somewhere in the range of
six crores, right. So that is something so
essentially what that means is that at least for
a year or two possibly, the company will not have
to pay any advanced tax at all. So that will be a
straight, let's say cash benefit to the company
in terms of cash flow. That's one thing we see.
Of course synergies you know extracting synergies
between the two entities, we'll be able to cut
down our headcount, We'll be able to keep a much
leaner operation and we'll be able to kind of,
you know, there's a lot of intercompany, you know,
transactions that are happening right now, right.
The rent is paid from Climatech to Triton, you
know, interest is paid from Climatech to Triton.
Triton is doing something for Climatech. All this
stuff will go away, right. So it will make our
life a lot easier. It'll unlock a lot of our
bandwidth also. So we'll see a lot of, lot of
benefits going forward.
EBITDA Margin What should we expect in FY 27
segment wise? (read out from Chat box of Mr.
Digant). Look, I don't like to put numbers, right.
I always like to talk about the long term story
rather than the very specific numbers, I would
say quarter to quarter. Again, see, the problem
with the EBITDA percentage numbers, right, is that
every time commodity keeps going up, that
percentage that we are looking for will look a
little different, it will keep eroding. So e.g.,
if Brass goes to thousand 500 a kilo somewhere
during the year, right, our profits will grow,
but, you know, in percentage terms, it might still
----------------Page (22) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 23 of 32
look smaller than before, so we are kind of
running a very like uphill battle here in terms
of, you know, protecting the EBITDA percentage
terms. But having said that in absolute rupee
terms, right, you can expect higher EBITDA
absolute numbers in FY 27. Obviously, you know,
we have internal plans to, you know, do some, you
know, big jumps in in in EBITDA. But I won't like
to put a number on it. I just say that you I I've
said, you know, you'll see double digit growth in
top line in volumes across all the major segments
that we operate except climate control. It's a
question mark. Honestly, I don't want to comment
on that until the government intervenes, we may
not see seeing significant traction there. But
you will see you will see good, good traction in
EBITDA going through. Of course, when there is
going to be, you know, steep changes in dollar
and let's say commodity, there will be a phase
lag, there will be a quarter lag before, you know,
that comes into our numbers, but accepting for
that, you will see some good, you will see some
good traction on EBITDA.
What is the revenue growth we are targeting FY 27
FY 28? (read out from Chat box of Mr. Digant).
Again, I'd like to highlight here optically,
right. Top line will grow very, very fast this
year. That's also because of the commodity, right.
If you were buying brass at 600 and today we are
buying brass at let's say 800 or 900 of kilo, our
selling prices also get adjusted in line with
that, right. So you will see a lot of top line
growth this year. The percentage could be 15 % 20
%, something like big numbers, 25 %, right. You
will see, you will see a lot of big numbers. My
request to all shareholders don't get too carried
away with that because there is going to be an
element of volume growth and there is going to be
an element of, I would say commodity growth,
right. So the way commodity growth is kind of
hitting right now, how long is it going to remain?
How long is it going to be in the market? We don't
know, right. But if I go by current trend, if I
take our current situation today, by FY 29, maybe
----------------Page (23) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 24 of 32
FY 30 at latest, will definitely cross the
thousand crore mark in terms of our revenue,
right. Potentially earlier depends on, you know,
how that commodity wave is going to carry. But,
the real growth that we should really aim for is
volume, right. So right now we are more fixated
on achieving volume growth. We don't bother too
much in the company about, you know, the commodity
number. It looks nice, I think you know it gives
the feeling that, you know, we are growing very,
very fast, but I, should be very candid and honest
with everybody. Let's look at the volume growth
really, so if you look at volume growth at
constant prices, the revenue should grow in the
strong number digits, right at constant prices.
So that's how I would look at it.
Number five, what is going on with Climatech? Are
we going to see growth? (read out from Chat box
of Mr. Digant). I think I've already answered that
any communication government on China, yes, we
are giving repeated representations to DPIIT
Ministry of Commerce listening to us, but how
quickly they will act, I don't know. We are
getting a very friendly reception there whenever
we go, they, you know, talk to us, they listen to
us, they've been very like very patient in
listening to us. How quickly is that going to
transfer into action, that's the only question,
right.
What is the capacity utilization for each of the
segments? (read out from Chat box of Mr. Digant).
Yeah, very good question. I would say the
automotive segment with TPMS we'll have to expand
capacity with tubeless valves, we'll be expanding
capacity, we'll be adding a lot of capacity in
some of the segments because the capacity
utilization right now has gone above 75-80-85 %
in some cases, so we are adding a lot of capacity
CWIP in the console balance sheet, yeah, there's
a lot of equipment that is yet to be commissioned
that's in the pipeline. A large part of it is
automotive side, not much on the climate control
side. There's a couple of equipment that we have
also we are adding for the climate for the metal's
----------------Page (24) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 25 of 32
vertical that's also there. We are also getting a
special express feeder line, a special power cable
that goes from the substation to our plant to
ensure that when we grow, we don't encounter power
related concerns because we'll be very heavily
dependent on the power connection that we have.
So some of the CWIPs related to that, that project
also will see completion in Q1. So that's
basically CWIP. Receivables can be see
improvement. We are really working hard to pull
money out of the market. As quickly as we can. We
are working on this very hard. Will we see
improvement? Yes, definitely we'll see
improvement. How much is a question mark, but
yeah, we will see some improvement for sure.
Any plans of expansion fundraise? (read out from
Chat box of Mr. Digant). Yeah, like I said CapEx
is going to go on but the fundraise at the moment,
nothing on the horizon that I'm able to see at
the moment in terms of funds. I'm very grateful
to all the shareholders who, you know, came in,
brought in some money through the Preferential
allotment route. So nothing more that we are
looking at the moment in this current FY.
We'll move on to the next question by Mr. Prabir
Adhikari. Can you help us understanding the market
potential for your business? (read out from Chat
box of Mr. Prabir). Just to give you a little bit
of a flavor, I would say automotive business
domestic alone is about, I would say 800-1000
crores. The metals business addressable. Market
is potentially a few billion dollars, I would say
20 to 30 crores is the total addressable market
for the brass mill. For the climate control
vertical I would say about thousand crores. So
the addressable market I would say is large enough
to keep us busy for the next couple of decades,
right.
Let's move to the next question by Mr. Priyank
Kotahri. Want to understand exactly climate
control business (read out from Chat box of Mr
Priyank). Climate control business basically
making components for air conditioners, right.
----------------Page (25) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 26 of 32
What's the potential? (read out from Chat box of
Mr. Priyank). I think more or less this repeat of
the similar questions of Mr. Prabir Adhikari. The
total addressable market for climate control
components,(read out from Chat box of Mr. Priyank)
that we are able to make in our company as of now
is at least a thousand cores. Climate control
business in India is growing at the CAGR I would
say 12-13-14 % over the next ten years, that's
the expectation. India has some of the lowest
penetration of air conditioning in the world,
right. For a large market. So there's huge, I
would say growth potential. But having said that,
there are a lot of challenges as well like we
spoke about.
We have labeled our division Future Tech,
Climatech. Why are we using the word tech, right?
We're seeing, yeah. What does it take in all of
this? (read out from Chat box of Mr. Priyank).
Yeah, great question. So look we are a technology
company, right. While technology is a term that
people, people typically associate only with the
software industry. I can assure you that in
manufacturing also, there is a lot of technology
that goes into making products and physical goods,
right. So why we called our brass mill as Future
Tech. We believe that this company is going to be
part of the future technology. So to give you an
example, the brass alloys that we are producing
today, are potentially going into the new
technology businesses. It could be around, it
could be around oil and gas, could be around
solar, it could be around electric vehicles,
right. So basically, our brass mill is about
making alloys for the future and for the future
of technology, right. That's why we called future
tech. Climatech, obviously, you know, it's
technology around climate control. As you can see,
there's global warming, there's you know, there's
a lot of challenges around you know environment
in the world today and so there's a lot of
technology that goes into making these products
and we have our own R and D Center we've been in
we've been doing R and D in the automotive
----------------Page (26) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 27 of 32
industry for like last 30-40-50 years, right. So,
so that's why we brought in the word technology.
I don't know about the other people that you're
mentioning but yeah that's all I can say from our
side.
TPMS is a pressure monitoring system, TPMS, right?
Does it mean that a 3000 tyre worth is in TPMS?
(read out from Chat box of Mr. Priyank). No, this
is basically sensor, right. So TPMS stands for
sensor. So if you see the new cars that are in
the market today, they're equipped with a system
where you can tell the tire pressure it gets
displayed on your dashboard, right. So this is
basically because of a technology called TPMS.
Basically there are sensors inside your tire, and
these sensors require a specially engineered tire
valve, right. For the sensor to function properly.
So we are making now the valves that go into these
sensors which are inside the tire, right. So that
is what I mean by saying valves for TPMS, right.
Another question from Mr. Prabir Adikari, can you
help us understanding the competition landscape
and your current market share? (read out from Chat
box of Mr. Prabir). See in automotive business, I
would say we have over 60-65 % market share across
all the verticals combined. There are pockets
where our market share is extremely high, right.
Tubeless tire valves are market share is possibly
90 % plus. TPMS, I would say in India we are more
or less the only guys doing TPMS, nobody else
really qualified to do TPMS in India. Electric
vehicle components are big customers are Ather
and TVS, they're market leading companies. We, so
I can probably tell you there is no Ather scooter
or a TVS scooter in electric version, right, in
this country which doesn't have our battery
components, right. So we've been very closely
working with these companies and we've been
developing a lot of, you know, options, a lot of
new models, we've been tweaking our, you know,
technical specifications, we've been doing a lot
of work around this and we believe that, you know,
there's more to come, right. There's also, we are
also deeply engaged with people like Ola, with
----------------Page (27) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 28 of 32
Bajaj, there's a lot of other companies that we
also engage with and River is also a good customer
of us. So we have a lot of good customers in the
EV space. So in some of those components, we are
like, we have a dominating presence, right. Maybe
85-90 % share. There are verticals. e.g., there's
the old tube type motorcycle valves, right. There
are share is comparatively lower. It's a low value
added product. It's something that's dying. So we
are defocusing from that segment. In the metals
vertical I would say that our market share is
still very small. It's a very large market. It's
a very, you know, I would say the scattered kind
of market, so there are market share could be 1 %
2 %. So there's huge scope for us to grow. Climate
control vertical of course we are still very
small, you know, there's today 800 crores of
components being imported being dumped out of
China. So that's why we are hardly doing whatever
16-17 crores, but there's a lot more that we can
do there.
If the market potentially is so good, then why
are companies is so less, (read out from Chat box
of Mr. Prabir). maybe you should ask the other
companies. I don't know why the other companies
are not there. That's perhaps something you would
ask the somebody else. So, so you're saying that
you have the largest market share. Does that mean
there are entry barriers? (read out from Chat box
of Mr Prabir). Yeah, of course, I mean every
business has entry barriers. So obviously our
business also has entry barriers. To get a product
validated by somebody like could take like one to
two years, right. To get a part into, let's say
Daikin as an air conditioner manufacturer. It took
us three years, right. To get into Mitsubishi
electric might take you one and a half years. So
yeah, there are entry barriers, there are
technical requirements that you need to meet. The
factories have to, you know, factory has to be
audited, has to be, you know, up to a certain
standard. So yeah, of course there are there are
entry barriers and well I can ask the same
question about so many other industries, right,
----------------Page (28) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 29 of 32
Prabir, If you look at the delivery business,
right, Why is there only Swiggy and Zomato, why
are they not like 50 delivery guys trying to
deliver goods to you? I mean there's market
potential in that, right, why are there only two
airlines dominating the aviation space, right.
huge market potential, right, so you can ask this
question to potentially anybody, so I think you
should be able to figure out the answer to that
on your own.
Any other questions, anybody? Did I miss that,
how much capital do we need to invest in the
business next two or three years? (read out from
Chat box of Mr. Rahul Jagwani). That's a great
question. Okay, We'll just take this question from
Mr. Rohit Ori. Rohit, thank you for acknowledging
the book. Hope you get a chance to lay your hands
on it and you'll get to know a little bit about
the history of the company and how we kind of face
so many challenges and so on. How many questions,
what technological more differentiates Triton
from Chinese suppliers, right? (read out from Chat
box of Mr. Rohit Ori) Well, there's a lot of
stuff, right? Look, today Chinese products are
not really a preferred you know, product in India
because obviously there's some quality
differences. Indian customers don't want to have
dependency on China anymore, right. For strategic
reasons for supply chain de-risking reasons. So
China really is not a preferred source for
components today. If you look at the auto industry
today, you could ask this question of potentially
any component supplier, right. Whether it's a tire
supplier, wheel supplier, engine component
supplier, everything is available in China, right
and there's a lot of companies in India as well.
I don't think OEMs really want to have an import
dependency, not just Chinese, I would say nobody
wants to have import dependency. Just look at the
dollar situation today, right. Who wants to import
in this kind of environment. Nobody wants to
import. I would say the next 05-10 years supply
chain disruptions are only going to be more and
more, right? Not less and less, right. You had
----------------Page (29) Break----------------
May 29,2026
Page 30 of 32
Russia-Ukraine, now you've got Iran US. You just
don't know what new disruption is going to hit
you. So I think now all companies, whether it's
in automotive, it's in, you know, oil and gas,
everybody wants to have a very localized supply
chain just for de-risking, right. They just don't
want to have dependency on anybody outside. So
that's what I would say is helping us. Apart from
obviously our technological strength, our
relationships, all of all of it counts, all of it
counts, right. So average product life cycle with
the OEM customer would be like 15-20 years, right.
So you look at a lot of the products that we are
selling today to, we are still selling them what
we were selling them in 2012, of course with
improvements, whatever, but the same product
basically that we were selling them in 2010, we're
still selling them 2026. So yeah, it's like easily
15-20 years, right? What percentage of revenues
are TPMS linked today(read out from Chat box of
Mr. Rohit Ori), very small not significant.
What is management's target(read out from Chat
box of Mr. Rohit Ori)? So we don't look at it
like, you know, we want to have intelligent
products, sensor products, software products. No,
we don't look at it like that. We look at what
are the opportunities that are in the market,
where we believe that we have a sustainable,
profitable, long term business and we get in
there, right. So we don't look at, you know, the
market in terms of I only want to do sensor based
stuff alright. Because look, even in the sensor
world, right, there's going to be a lot of
changes, right. As technology evolves, there are
sensors that are moving from tire, you know, let's
say valve mounted sensors to tire mounted sensors.
People are embedding chips inside tires. So, you
know, we don't want to get into a position where
technology can disrupt us totally, right. So we
like to spread our risk across different
verticals, across different, you know, types of
vehicles, different types of customers, different
geographies. So we don't think in terms of, you
know, I want to have this exposure to this, right.

We just want to keep spending our risk and keep
looking for profitable opportunities.
Your next question is around what is the current
utilization level across manufacturing plants
(read out from Chat box of Mr. Rohit Ori)? I think
I've already answered that. Can current
infrastructure support 700 to 800 core revenues
(read out from Chat box of Mr. Rohit Ori)? Great
question. With incremental CapEx, I would say with
CapEx of I would say 10-20 cores over the next
two, three years, I believe we have runway to
cross thousand right, we couldn't we can
potentially do it even without that, but we have
a, we have adequate runway, right to touch
thousand crores. What which geographies are
driving export growth(read out from Chat box of
Mr. Rohit Ori)? I would say at the moment
primarily I would say US, right. In spite of the
tariffs and all of that, we have still managed
to, you know, make strong inroads into the US.
Yeah, we could have done much, much better at the
time's not been around, but even with that, I
think we are seeing more and more traction in the
in the US market. I believe we have a good future
in the US market. Receivables rise materially.
Well receivables I think has moved more or less
in proportion to the sales growth, yeah. Yeah Q4
sales were obviously more. So we have payment
cycles elongating. Luckily, No. I'm not seeing
any elongated payment cycles from any OEM. There's
a little bit of I would say elongated payment
cycles coming a little bit from the tire industry,
but not from the vehicle OEMs. what is our
normalized working capital cycle 50 days, 55 days?
65 days. Yeah, let's say about 55-60 days off much
shorter for the metals vertical.
So let's come back to the next question. Yeah your
question was how much capital do we need(read out
from Chat box of Mr. Rahul Jagwani)? I think I
answered that, right. I'd say like 15-20 cores
over the next two, three years. Is TPMS mandatory
by government(read out from Chat box of Mr. Prabir
Adhikari)? Great question. At the moment, NO, it's
not mandatory, but we feel that it at some point
----------------Page (31) Break----------------

of time it may come in as a mandatory requirement
that will, if that happens, we'll see a great,
you know, benefit to our company. Are you also
providing TPMS for aero planes defense
vehicles(read out from Chat box of Mr. Prabir
Adhikari)? We are working on certain programs. As
you can imagine, you know, aerospace defense,
these require us to maintain a high degree of
confidentiality. I can only tell you that there
are some defense programs that we are working on
India. There are some defense requirements that
are coming to us from the Middle East. There's
also some defense interest coming in from fairly
large well-known companies in the US, right. Still
very, very early days, so I think I don't want to
like, you know, unnecessarily excite the market
about these because these are long lead time, you
know, it takes a lot of effort to convert these
into like, you know, revenue and profit. But yeah,
we are engaged with the defense ecosystem in
India, in the Middle East and in the US. Yeah,
maybe we can take one more question before we
close.
Any other questions anybody? Oh NO good, I think,
sales target for FY 30(read out from Chat box of
Mr. Prabir Adhikari)? I'd love to see four digits
in FY 30 I think Mr.Prabir, we should be able to
comfortably cross the thousand core mark by FY 30
possibly earlier, but like I said, if you do it
earlier, it will be because of commodity
inflation, right. So, which is not the kind of,
thousand core that we would like to achieve but
yeah, I think FY 30 thousand something above
thousand should be.
