We incur outsourced manufacturing cost and suffer gross margin pressure in the short term but we protect the trust our customers place in us to be a reliable supplier. When Pithampur comes online and ramps up through calendar year 2027, we should see some outsourced production moving back in-house

Again, this is broadly in line with our last four quarters in terms of concentration.

We are confident of a successful and timely inspection closure and expect commercial production to ramp up from Q1 CY27 as previously guided.

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.
