Outlook and guidance
PVC and carbide demand may rebound after monsoon withdrawal; the minimum import price introduced in July 2026 is expected to support domestic PVC prices.
Vinyl margins remain exposed to PVC pricing and energy costs; holding current prices could reduce margins, while higher prices could support them.
A demerger proposal is targeted for Board consideration soon, with Q1 FY28 identified as the target timeline; interlinked businesses remain under review.
Renewable power is targeted to reach one-third of total power needs next year; no specific turnover target was given.
Sugar crushing was expected to start in the first week of November; output and recovery depend on cane availability, crop conditions and winter weather.
