Segment commentary

MDF

Domestic MDF volumes grew, but exports declined, leading to a 7.9% YoY drop in sales volume. Despite this, realisations increased by 28% YoY.

Plywood

Plywood volumes decreased by 16.6% YoY due to lower production and sales, with margins falling significantly.

Guidance & outlook

  • Expect improved performance in future quarters with focus on distribution expansion and sustainable growth.

Key takeaways

  • Strong revenue and profit growth driven by higher MDF realisations.
  • Challenges in plywood segment due to lower volumes and margins.
  • Focus on expanding distribution network and reducing debt.

Risks flagged

  • Slowdown in export markets impacting MDF volumes
  • Rising raw material costs affecting plywood margins

In their words

“We look forward to improved performance in future quarters.”— V. Venkatramani
