Question: Can you please help us understand the quantum of cost savings achieved during the year? Also, is there any change in the guided benefits of INR100 per ton in fiscal '26 and INR150 in fiscal '27?
Answer: We achieved approximately INR150 to INR175 per ton in cost savings so far. The remaining target is INR300 to INR325 per ton, which we expect to realize from FY '26 to FY '28. The guidance for savings of more than INR100 per ton in FY '26 and INR150 in FY '27 remains broadly on track.
Question: There were some land purchases under ACC for about INR680-odd crores. Could you help understand what this land is for?
Answer: The INR680 crores investment in land is primarily for setting up grinding units and acquiring coal mines in the western region of the country. This strategic acquisition aligns with our overall business growth and supply chain efficiencies.
Question: Having deployed cash for recent acquisitions, can we say competitive intensity in the industry will soften, improving overall profitability?
Answer: With a stronger balance sheet and government spending on infrastructure, I believe FY '26 will outperform FY '25. Demand levers look positive, and we focus on organic growth, but we remain open to M&A opportunities if they arise at favorable conditions.
Question: What will be your cash position in April after the Orient Cement payout, and is there an open offer?
Answer: After acquiring a 46% stake in Orient for approximately INR5,500 crores, we expect to have around INR5,000 crores in liquid cash. We've also deposited INR2,000 crores in SEBI escrow for the open offer, with clearance expected shortly.
Question: Can you share exit capacity utilization for Sanghi, Penna, and Orient?
Answer: For FY '25, Sanghi's utilization is around 40-45%, while Penna's clinker utilization is about 75-80%. Orient's utilization is between 60-75%. We anticipate improvements in all these figures in FY '26.
