Management Commentary
"Satisfactory scaling up of operations at the company's Greenfield unit in Dahej (Gujarat) for Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) along with other industrial packaging products i.e. Drums and Jerry Cans has resulted in good volume growth. For the 9 months ended December 31, 2023, on a year-on-year (Y-o-Y) basis, volume grew by 23% and total income witnessed a growth of 15%. With good demand for industrial packaging in end-use sectors and Dahej being a major industrial hub for Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, we were able to capture this growth. The EBITDA margin remained stable at around 11.4% in 9MFY24 and is expected to improve going forward as the sales of IBCs, which is a value-added product, pick up. Overall, we are very positive on the performance and are confident on achieving our targets for the full year."
