Key quotes from recent conference calls
“In fact, this was the highest quarterly sales that we have achieved in India. As discussed earlier, some of the new orders that have been delayed are coming back on stream. We expect this improving trend to continue into the next few months. — Ander Arenaza Alvarez”
“The drop in margin is due to two reasons, energy tariff increase in Maharashtra state, which reduced margins by 0.3% and the new labor code impact on gratuity, which has a negative — and one-off impact, it's a negative. — Ander Arenaza Alvarez”
“The CY '25 EBITDA margin was lower by 1.5% due to onetime restructuring costs at the Metalcastello and Legazpi plants. So if you add that 1.5% to 13.3%, we are more or less close to the 15% mark that we are targeting. — Management”
“Again, I would say, let me not directly answer that question. But again, to Nishit, I tried to point out that if you look at our growth trajectory every quarter, we have been improving, and I think we'll keep on improving. — Management”
