Net profit for the quarter stood at Rs. 39.4 crores an increase of 34.9% over Q2FY23.

Our efficient inventory management led to a significant improvement in net working capital days, reducing to 60 days, even after considering the impact of inventory related to new plywood and laminate projects. Our net debt amounted to Rs. 669.9 crores, which includes project debt of Rs. 549.3 crores.

During the quarter, we successfully commenced commercial production at the greenfield laminate project at Naidupeta, Andhra Pradesh. Commercial production began on September 29, 2023. The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Naidupeta has revolutionized our production capabilities, featuring the new laminate size of 6’x14′ (1830 mm x 4320 mm). This larger size has generated considerable market interest, and we expect it to positively impact our market share. The plant’s total capacity is 3.50 million laminate sheets and compact boards, increasing our consolidated capacity for laminates and compact boards to an industry-leading 24.52 million sheets and compact board per annum. During the quarter there were no production and sales pertaining to the laminate unit at Naidupeta plant.

Our greenfield particle board project at Naidupeta, Andhra Pradesh is progressing as per schedule and is expected to commence production in Q4FY24.”
