So, sir, again, congratulation to the team for the EBITDA margin of 15%. And as per your opening remarks, sir, we are confident that these numbers are workable and can be exhibited during the year also. I think so the commodity inflation, the other have now become a part and parcel.

Market share gainModerate severity · 3 mentions

Anirban Banerjee: So, the market share gain has been almost from about 3% to about 18% over the last 30 months, right?

And on your question on where do we see 2 years from now, my sense would be that we should be looking at anywhere between an exit share of 25% to 30% at the end of 2 years from now. Secondly, in terms of the balance sheet, is it possible to give some update that obviously, we have been expecting some proceeds from your land sale plus the h ealthy operating cash flow generation starting this year given our margin expa

How large is our e - commerce and that part of portfolio? Second would be on the regulatory side.

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Evidence, freshness and limitations

What does the TickerSutra score mean?

The score ranks captured evidence across financial quality, growth, moat and margins, regulatory catalysts, governance, institutional trend and valuation comfort. It is a research-prioritization tool—not a buy recommendation or price target.

Which sources support this page?

Financial history, ownership and pledge data, NSE and BSE filings, annual reports and available earnings-call transcripts are combined here. Use the source trail and original exchange document before relying on a decision-critical fact.

Why can an item be unresolved?

Unresolved means the current captured source window did not provide enough evidence for that check. It does not establish that a risk or relationship is absent.
