Yes but the announcement was made just recently in NSE. And no other information is available. Even in the 6th June Concall nothing was mentioned. Just little curious as BCB italia holds around 18% of the company.
I had mailed to the company secretry yesterday and have been very pleasantly surprised to get the reply so soon…

Short Summary of stuff I found interesting…
Plant currently at 35% utilization …expected to grow to 100% within 1 year.
60 mixing machines (80% in North), 50 more to be added in H2.
Revenue breakup: 67% Italian,25% Unico (MC, thinner etc.),4% wall paint .
New markets being entered in retail …Maharastra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Telengana (started distributing), In final stages of negotiation with WB, Kerala, TN dustributors.
Targeting FY23 End 2000 retail points .
Q4 heavy marketing spends to be balanced with local resin production etc . Ebidta margin may reduce in 2-3 quarters starting Q4 but long sustaining margin should be 23%.
Italian PU resins also to be manufactured post approval from the Italian partners. Team expansion happening new plant, chemists, sales team etc. working capital days were high in H1 because of extra stocking to handle supply uncertainty (war, power shortage in Italy)
Nepal export is showing traction but other export countries are still at nascent stage .
6 products will be getting manufactured in India, which were being made in Italy till now …in next 1 month .
25-30% topline growth expacted 3 to 5 years in conservative estimate . But they expect 40% plus themselves even though they are reluctant to guide that way.
rev share – 60% (North), 25% Maha (OEM), East is least .
New plant getting ready in Coimbatore …8 crore capex …in next 1 year…
Edit: As @sameernics wrote …"the management also mentioned that in the current plant they are planning to expand the capacity with an additional investment of 3-4 cr.
All the capex including Coimbatore plant will be done through internal accruals."

Also, if I heard it correctly, the management also mentioned that in the current plant they are planning to expand the capacity with an additional investment of 3-4 cr?
All the capex including Coimbatore plant will be done through internal accruals.

It looks like the 23% growth in topline is being maintained. We can hope this will grow dramatically once the non-debt capex is complete and online (along with the OPM)

Looks like this quarter the other expenses what contains advertisement cost has eaten up the margins. Last concall I asked whether we will see operating leverage playing out they told it will not be much bcz of increased advertising cost. Any way qoq degrowth seems to be due to ban in sprey paints die to air pollution in North India near Delhi just like last year
