Operator
Thank you. We’ll take our next question from the line of Akhil Parekh from Centrum Broking. Please go ahead.
Akhil Parekh — Centrum Broking — Analyst
Hi, thanks for the opportunity. My first question is on the capacity side. The cash flows I see, we have done almost INR28 crore of capex including CWIP. So how much of the capacity was added during FY ’23? And given that we’re already at 67%, 70% of utilization rate, what kind of capacity additions we should expect in FY ’24?
Kashmira Dedhia — Vice President, Accounts and Finance
Sir, basically in our plant and machinery, we have added the paste machine. So for that, sir has already mentioned that around 1,600 metric tons capacity we have added. We have added one more machine of — small machine for SBM. So that might be a — that is the regular practice. So that is the capacity addition we have done.
Akhil Parekh — Centrum Broking — Analyst
Okay. So we have spent INR28 crore to add 1,600 tons of capacity, is that understanding correct?
Kashmira Dedhia — Vice President, Accounts and Finance
Can you repeat?
Akhil Parekh — Centrum Broking — Analyst
I’m saying we have done almost INR25 crore to INR28 crore of capex for last year and we have added 1,600 [Phonetic] tons of capacity?
Kashmira Dedhia — Vice President, Accounts and Finance
So, sir, the other additions, other expansion was around other fixed assets. In plant and machinery, this was the addition.
Akhil Parekh — Centrum Broking — Analyst
Okay, okay. And this mid-year FY ’24, what kind of additions we are anticipating because we are already at 70% right, and in packaging, I believe that’s the peak one can achieve 70%, 75%. So I believe we will be adding more capacity, right, in next one year or two years?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Sir, can you repeat the question? The last — some of the words which I missed. So if you can…
Akhil Parekh — Centrum Broking — Analyst
I’m saying the capacity — sure, sure. I’m saying what kind of capacity addition should we expect in FY ’24?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Yeah. So I think we will announce once we are finalizing everything. So definitely, yes, but Mitsu is on a expansion more, so definitely we will come up with some good plants. So once we come up, we will announce that.
Akhil Parekh — Centrum Broking — Analyst
Okay, okay. Another question on the volume front, right, we are at 67% utilization rate, which implies almost 16,000 tons of volumes. So we have grown at almost 18% on a CAGR basis for last four years, five years in terms of volume growth, while sales per kg if I look at it for this year is almost I believe at INR190, which is kind of a record high in last many years. So is this because of the product mix change or is it because polymer prices are on a higher side and that’s why the realization was on a higher side in FY ’23?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
It’s both. I will say it is both, because see, there is a mix of — because our product range here is very vast and both the things has been — took this place like you know some of the raw material also prices — so raw material prices were too much volatile also, so went up, went down like that. And for new product also, there were many new products which has participated in this.
Akhil Parekh — Centrum Broking — Analyst
Okay, okay, got it. And last question like for this year FY ’24, should we continue to build in like around at least 10% to 15% of volume growth and probably we might maintain the realization or sales per kg what we did in FY ’23?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
So considering ’22-’23 is a special year as we consider because that was — last five years was very low down — in last five years,, ’22-’23 was a very lowest one. So we don’t want to benchmark ’22-’23, but yes, we are in a growth path and definitely we look for better growth.
Akhil Parekh — Centrum Broking — Analyst
Okay, okay, this is helpful, and best wishes for coming quarters. That’s all from my side. Thank you.
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Thank you.

Cost pressure.
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Cost pressure. It’s — I think I’m not the right person to answer on this. But, yes, see, there is a market-driven, it is completely international market-driven. So sometimes the crude price goes down, the demand sometimes suddenly comes up, the price goes up. So it is vice versa.

Himani Ubhan — Suraj Enterprises — Analyst
Okay. How is hospital furniture demand, sir?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Yeah, good. It is very good demand now. But as I said, this is our capital industry. So always, there is up and down in the demand, because it goes in the capital industries. So people who buy once will not buy again, but yeah, but there are many, many in India, there are infrastructure facilities coming up like huge. So the orders are flowing.
Himani Ubhan — Suraj Enterprises — Analyst
Okay. Any exports started in hospital furniture?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
So we are targeting some, we have attended many, many exhibitions in last one year. I mean, we have participated that and many inquiries had come and definitely we’ll have a very good result very soon, very soon we will announce also that. So we got a good party — good response in the exhibitions.

Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer

Himani Ubhan — Suraj Enterprises — Analyst
Yeah, can you hear me, sir?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer

Himani Ubhan — Suraj Enterprises — Analyst
Yeah. My last question is what steps you’re taking to optimize cost?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
There are many steps, ma’am. And along with that also, we are looking for like, as I said like, we have added customers also. And for cost utilization, yes, the raw material is our key material. So there also, we are trying to optimize where we can do that.

Operator
I’m sorry to interrupt, ma’am. Please use the handset. Your audio is not coming very clear. Please use the handset. Thank you.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Am I clear now?
Operator
No, it is not.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Am I clear now?
Operator
Yes, better. Please go ahead.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Yeah. This was — I just wanted to understand like have you taken any price rise to escalate the cost of raw material in the last year?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
What? What? What?
Kashmira Dedhia — Vice President, Accounts and Finance
The raw material last year?
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Price hike.
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Well, the raw materials number, I could not hear very well the earlier sentence.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
The price hike has been taken to escalate the cost to our clients?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Price?
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Hike, price has been increased, any price increase you have taken?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Yeah, yeah, obviously. See, we do — we — every month, there is price changes in our raw material prices. So we have to go to customer and we have to ask for if the price hike is there, we’ll ask of them, and if the price is lower, we have to pass on the price also. So I think that’s a very common practice in our type of business.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
So that happens immediately or it happens with a lag effect?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
So generally, see, the prices changes weekly here in internationally and in India as well. We generally change the price every first of the month.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Okay, okay, okay. And sir, and we talked — ma’am talked about like 8.7% or 8.75% has been contributed from the hospital furniture. So how you see the demand coming up over there, because COVID was a good time where you had seen a huge jump in the hospital furniture business. So that is still there or like how it is shaping it up?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
No, see, I’ll tell you what, I think your analysis was very right, but I’ll just specifically say, see, for hospital, demand has not reduced too much in this, but yes, our containers and other business has also gone up very well. So that small percentage has come down a little bit, but definitely we are also focusing on this because this is a value addition item for us, and we are also focusing on, as I said like we are participating in abroad for — export our furniture parts to other countries. So definitely, we will have a very good impact in the next year — this coming year.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Okay. So — and this point of view, I understand. What is the price difference between the Mitsu and China in the hospital furniture business?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
So in India, it looks like we are much, much competitive, because there are many aspects like delivery, we deliver in six days times to anywhere in India. We have already godowns in Delhi, and which caters to North market. We have South Hyderabad, which caters to like South market. So we are keeping a ready top there everywhere, like you know — so that’s one of the availability is very, very good with us. Price-wise also, we are very good at — good. So I think in India, at least we are — we have captured a very good market. Let’s say, imports are possible because some people wanted to go for import and then just — but I think in a longer time, import will be totally shut down.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Sir, is it possible for you to share your market share in this segment?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
So I’ll not be able to tell you the profit numbers, but I’m going to consider as a very perfect one, because we do not have a back end of market thing, because in hospital furniture bed — hospital bed, there’s a lot of unorganized market as well. So we are not able to capture those numbers very well. But I can say 60% plus market share we have in India.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Okay. Sir, in the export…
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Maybe more than that, but I can — we just wanted to revisit the numbers by 60%.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Okay, okay. And sir, what exports — are we in the export market competitive against China in the hospital furniture export market?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
Very, very well. Yes, yes, very, very well. The only thing is now the design, the new things, it takes some time. So I think it’s a matter of some time and definitely we will get the good result also.
Unidentified Participant — — Analyst
Okay, okay. Yeah, I mean, how big do you think the organized market or can you specifically how our organized market is?
Manish Dedhia — Joint Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
I’ll not be able to comment and I’m not a expert in that. So I will not be able to comment on that. Sorry.
