Sanjesh Jain's Question on R32 Capacity: "Are we looking to harness the entire opportunity given that there is a strong demand for R32 and pricing looks much firmer than expected?"
Anish Ganatra's Answer:
Yes, we will stake our right to the entitlement for R32. We will proceed when discussions with large customers are more firmed up, ensuring favorable product realization aligns with our interests and those of our shareholders.
Sanjesh Jain's Question on Nectar Performance: "Is it the INR300 crores we expected from the anchor customer that will deliver?"
Anish Ganatra's Answer:
Yes, we have a firm order for the remainder of the year, which should align with the INR300 crores. Our focus is to prioritize the new molecule, with deliveries commencing in Q2 FY '26.
Sanjesh Jain's Question on Capex Plans: "Can you share more on the capex plan for FY '26 and '27, especially considering the recent cash raise?"
Anish Ganatra's Answer:
Our capex frame is set to expand from INR500-600 crores to INR700-1000 crores for FY '26. This increased capex will only be deployed on projects that provide significant value.
Jason Soans' Question on Agchem Recovery: "What are you hearing from customers regarding inventory rationalization?"
Anish Ganatra's Answer:
Inventory issues are resolved, and while there is slight volume recovery, pricing remains competitive due to Chinese market pressures. We have solid order visibility for specialty agchem products.
Krishan Parwani's Question on cGMP4 Phase 2 Capex: "When will Phase 2 of cGMP4 begin and which customer is it for?"
Anish Ganatra's Answer:
Phase 2 of cGMP4 will start once capacity utilization exceeds 60%. Initially, it's likely for an EU major product, ensuring we have the needed flexibility for future expansions.

Anish Ganatra's Answer:
The capex allocation is agnostic, aligning with our strategic priorities across all verticals, including advanced materials and pharma as opportunities arise.

The dedicated capacity for Nectar will represent 100% utilization this year, with plans for full capacity to ramp up next year, which is aligned with our overall strategy.

Anish Ganatra's Answer:
The project is on track with detailed engineering underway. We expect to initiate commercial production by the first quarter of FY '27, although specific revenue projections can't be disclosed.
