Nageswara Rao KandulaManaging Director

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Monali. It is with immense pride and gratitude that I welcome you all to this landmark investor gathering. FY ’25 has been a truly defining year for Standard Glass Lining Technology Limited, a year where we not only crossed critical milestones but also set the stage for a bold and transformative future. This was our first full year as a listed entity, and I must begin by thanking all of you, our investors, customers, partners, and team members, for the trust you have placed on us. Your belief fuels our ambition and your support powers our execution, robust performance and strong fundamentals.

Let me start with our financial performance. We delivered strong results in FY ’25. Revenue growth 14% year-on-year, INR626 crores, a clear indicator of value expansion and more value-added product mix. EBITDA stood at INR120 crores, with a robust EBITDA margin of 19.1%, reflecting operational discipline and cost optimization. PAT increased to INR69 crores, maintaining a healthy PAT margin at 11.0% at a growth of 14.4% in PAT.

We are proud to say that we are now net debt-free, with a solid cash reserve of INR266 crores, underscoring the financial strength and sustainability of our business. Q4 FY ’25 in particular was a strong close to the year, with revenue INR171 crores, 20% growth quarter-on-quarter. EBITDA at INR28 crores, with 16.6% margin. PAT at INR16 crores, growth 4% quarter-on-quarter. Despite deferred export orders, we maintained the consistent double-digit growth, proof of our core of resilience, scalability, strategic growth and technological leadership.

FY ’25 was not just about numbers, it was about bold strategy and future readiness. We are thrilled to announce a 20-year global strategic partnership with the AGI Group and GL HAKKO Japan. Through this exclusive collaboration, Standard Glass became the first company outside Japan to manufacture Shell and tube glass-lining heat exchangers, a highly specialized and high-performance product.

We have exclusive global supply rights, excluding Japan, and initial production capacity of 200 units a month, going along in Q4 FY ’26. Already secured 150 advance domestic orders, a strong validation of demand and trust, tapping to an addressable market INR2,000 crores in India and $2 billion globally. This partnership is a game-changer, not just for us, but for the entire pharma and chemical heat exchanger industry. It places Standard Glass on a global technology map. Operational excellence, world-class infrastructure. In line with our growth strategies, we successfully commissioned Unit 5, a state-of-the-art, 100,000 square feet facility, and fully consolidated operations from Unit 2. This has enhanced productivity, improved cost efficiency and created a scalable manufacturing backbone for the future global footprint, trusted Indian engineering.

We are proud to share that our wholly-owned subsidiary, S2 Engineering, has entered into a long-term exclusive supply agreement with Gale Process Solutions LLC, USA. This gives a direct access to the international market for stainless steel, carbon steel, and nickel-alloy-based process equipment, further boosting our global credibility and revenue streams.

Looking ahead, the future is bright. FY ’25 is a milestone. FY ’26 will be a launchpad. With strategic partnerships, advanced product line, world-class infrastructure, and a healthy balance sheet, we are entering a transformational phase. We are expected to achieve 20% to 25% revenue growth, maintain the EBITDA margin at 18% to 20%, continue to launch new high-performance products, and expand deeper into regulated global markets. Our vision is clear to be a global benchmark in a glass line and high alloy equipment and metal equipment performance engineering solution.

Dear investors, this journey is not just ours. It is yours too. You have believed in us, and we are committed to rewarding your trust with performance, innovation, and integrity. Let me leave you with one last thought. We are not just building equipment, we are building India’s engineering legacy in a global canvas. Thank you all.

Questions and Answers:

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Mudit Bhandari from IIFL. Please go ahead.

Mudit Bhandari

Hi, sir. In terms of the glass-line equipment divisions, we have seen very good growth, both in terms of revenue and margin. So what are the end segments driving those, particularly within pharma and chemicals? Has there been any increased order booking or has there been any increased execution in terms of…

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Sir, your voice is very low, sir. Can you speak loudly?

Mudit Bhandari

Am I audible?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Can you — question also, can you repeat?

Mudit Bhandari

Yes, am I audible now?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes, loudly you can speak sir, please, kindly.

Mudit Bhandari

Yes, sure. Sir, in terms of glass lining division, we have seen a good execution particularly in terms of fourth quarter. So what are the end segments which have driven this particularly within the pharma? If there are any specific equipment or any specific sectors. And secondly, in terms of the new products that we have launched over the last four months. So any improvement, any demand side trajectory from that side would be helpful.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

The industry is still — pharma industry is still growing single digit, but we did double digit. All areas we covered. It’s not a particular one product, and we covered all areas and all products. Chemical is still a bit challenge, but we received some chemical areas of good orders from some clients, and that’s the reason this growth is now possible.

Mudit Bhandari

And sir, any indication of order booking, increased order booking, or any trajectory in terms of particularly glass lining?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Coming year, almost all, or 80% we booked coming year, because our delivery is very, very faster delivery, that is our strength, very fast deliveries. So order booking, sir, we’re not, because of our deliveries and our equipment is very fast delivery. But a good, very good order book we have. And also — and pipeline discussions also very positive. Next year, we are expecting very good growth.

Mudit Bhandari

Got it, sir. And in terms of new products like glass-lined heat exchangers and others that you were talking about, so any update in terms of those, in terms of number of orders or in terms of increased customer interaction?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes. This is shell and tube heat exchangers. Last one year, we worked background with GL HAKKO and AGI, and now, we are going to, exclusive unit also, we are going to start in ’25 December in India. And also, at the same time we are expanding in Japan also, Japan facility, GL HAKKO facility also, capacity enhancing. So just we opened within 15 days we received almost 150 heat exchangers. Same, that encouragement, we are going to launch through GL HAKKO conductivity glass.

Now, whatever, worldwide, all glass-lining equipment manufacturers are producing, non-conductivity glass lining reactors. Coming two months, three months, we are discussing with some government institutes in the approval of the glass and certification of the glass. Once we are going, we hope we are going to complete within two months this glass certification. Once the certification is complete, we are going to launch this. This is not a, this glass, conductivity glass is going to again game-changer, because we are not a business point of view. This is going to increase the safety of the pharma and chemical equipment. So this is also we are in the pipeline. And one or two, three products, we are discussing with many global companies. That is also, chances are there this year. And also, we are discussing with tie ups and things are going on. Many, many things are encouraging and very positive.

Mudit Bhandari

Got it, sir. I fall back in queue. Thank you.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Thank you.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from the line of Prayan Sharma [Phonetic], an investor. Please go ahead.

Prayan Sharma

Hello? Am I audible sir?

Operator

Yes. Audible, sir, please…

Prayan Sharma

Good evening, sir. So, congratulations for good results.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Thank you.

Prayan Sharma

Sir, I wanted to ask firstly that our initial guidance was that we were about to do like INR80 crores to INR82 crores of PAT in FY ’25 and INR650 crores of revenue. So, what has actually gone wrong in achieving those guidance? And also, can you share something about export share this year?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Sir, the thing is, unfortunately, one consignment, we announced that also in the result. One consignment unable to export due to non-receipt of export confirmations. Due to that, there is slight impact in revenue and same time in PAT also. That is going to be covered in coming first quarter.

Prayan Sharma

Okay. So we will see the effects of those like sales and revenue, PAT in the Q1 of FY ’26.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes.

Prayan Sharma

Okay. And sir, what kind of response we have got from the new products like glass lined shell and tube exchangers and conductive glasses? As per the announcement from the company, production would be started from — production should start from Q4 FY ’26, right? So, what kind of revenues will be able to achieve from operating them at full capacity, like new products, 200 [Phonetic] per month or so?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Just we opened announcement, shell and tube exchangers order booking one month back. And immediately within month, we received 150 [Phonetic] numbers. But unfortunately, Japanese plant don’t have any capacity to produce. They are producing only monthly 2020 [Phonetic] numbers. And now we need to expand that Japan facility also. So we are expecting that facility expansion going to complete in Calendar year ’25 December. January onwards, we are planning to produce 200 heat exchangers per month. We are planning. And same time, Indian facility also we are — assembly center. This is almost 80% to 85% manufacturing going to complete in Japan. And we balance 15% we are going to assembly in India, manufacturing going to India. That is we are building in exclusivity one more unit for this heat exchangers, and we are at 150 [Phonetic] number. Now today, we are booking heat exchangers 24 weeks, 28 weeks delivery period based on. Because of already we are complete coming nine months, we fully booked for heat exchanger business. We hope that particularly glass lining business, heat exchanger going to add at least 30% to 40% growth.

Prayan Sharma

Okay. So — and sir, how about the reactors, sir, glass line reactors?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Glass lining is good. We are doing good. We launched it recently without gas jet reactors. That is smart seal we patented. And without C-clamp reactors, we launched it. No one have this type. And conductivity of the glass also coming in 2 months. Already trials are completed. And some clients are using. But we are approaching some institutes, Indian certification of the conductivity glass authentication. Once that certification complete, we are coming 2 months, we are going to launch this product also. Based on that, this is going to big game changer, sir. Because of many plants, many agents happening due to static electricity. Once this reactor enter and plant going to fully safety, customer going to full benefit. So, this is glass lining reactor. So, conductivity glass, particularly I am talking about. Conductivity glass reactor is going to big game changer. And also, we are launching with reasonable price. Already we are discussing with Japanese partner. And lot of — after 2 years, they agreed to supply reasonable price with conductivity glass. So, we are bringing with reasonable price with higher end product.

Prayan Sharma

Okay, sir. One of the last questions from my side. Are there any potential products coming from Standard Glass, linked with semiconductor industry? Because glasses, reactive glasses, conductive glasses, I think they have some applications in semiconductor industry also. So, are we planning or do we have something in pipeline?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes. Here, we are — semiconductor industry requires high-purity chemicals, that is it, and leaching levels. Now, whatever pharma companies are using, glass leveling, leaching level is, PPM level. And conductivity glass lining, conductivity glass chemicals required PPB, PPT, low leaching, high corrosion-resistant glass is required. That glass also, we are going to launch. Already we are discussing with one client, going to start this electromagnetic chemicals. That pilot plant, they are going to start. We already submitted our proposal also. This glass, this MIZ, we are calling low leaching, high conductive, high corrosive glass, we are launching coming months. And also…

Prayan Sharma

Yes.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Now, we are only — we are in API, chemicals and…

Prayan Sharma

Nuclear.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Chemicals area only, we are doing. Now, coming months, I am going to — good news, Standard Glass going to enter formulation equipment and injectables area we are also looking for opportunities. Already we have started discussions. And we will — coming months, we will announce good news.

Prayan Sharma

Sir, one last question from my side that what exports sir can we expect in FY ’26?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

This is — today, but today, almost all, one minute. Very good, very good growth, sir. I can — today, we have almost all, our coming year revenue 15% going to participate in export. And maybe, now, today projections are showing 15%, maybe more.

Prayan Sharma

If FY ’25 is 15%, then FY ’26 would be more. Am I getting…

Nageswara Rao Kandula

No, FY ’25 is less. One consignment stop, sir. I have not calculated. I want — I need to take details. But FY ’26 I am talking about. Now, as per order booking, this may be 15%, now, today. And maybe more going to increase FY ’26 delivery.

Prayan Sharma

Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much for answering my questions. That’s all from my side.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Manish [Phonetic] from B&K Securities. Please go ahead.

Manish

Thanks for the opportunity, sir. I have just one question. So, like, sir, how are you planning to build a distribution of the service capabilities in the international market? Especially like the outside India and Japan, where you have the exclusive supply rights for a new heat exchanger technology?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Sir, already we have signed with IPP USA. They have worldwide service centers. They are going to manage our products. That’s the reason we exclusively tie up with IPP. And Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, we signed with Biocon Solutions. They already, they are in the field. They have full service setups and storage facilities.

Manish

Okay, that’s helpful, sir. Thank you so much.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Thank you.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from the line of Garvita from Seven Islands PMS. Please go ahead.

Garvita Jain

Hello?

Operator

Yes, madam, please.

Garvita Jain

Yes. So my first question is if you could elaborate a little bit more on the glass-lined shell and tube heat exchangers which we are about to start production for?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Madam, say again, madam. Please, question. Repeat the question, madam.

Garvita Jain

Sir, can you please elaborate a little bit more upon glass-lined heat exchangers?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Okay. Glass-lined shell and tube heat exchanger is first line. Japanese company GL HAKKO invented and they are manufacturing for last 15 years. But they don’t want to disclose to technology or they don’t want to sell outside. Then we approached and we convinced their management and later we got 20 years license. We are going to assemble in India. We are going to sell in India. This is a unique product. Because now our pharma, chemical companies are using graphite heat exchangers. Graphite heat exchangers always release the particles and also high alloy equipment, sometimes hydrochloric acid, whenever 50 degrees above, high alloy equipment will get damaged. Industry is facing a lot of challenges, black particles, mechanical failures. And this is shell and tube heat exchanger is going to be a game changer for, particularly the corrosive area heat exchangers. This is, we have launched, customers are very happy. Just within 15 days we got 150 numbers order. Now we stopped order bookings also. We are telling to clients, if you want a heat exchanger, we will supply after 24 weeks. That is demand. We are announcing the addressable market INR2 trillion crores in India and globally $2 billion market globally. And the coming existing reactor, if you calculate the, almost all India running glass-fibre reactors, almost above 1 lakh reactors are current running, that all reactors require this heat exchanger replacement. Market is huge. But we announced only addressable market, current market. Whatever we got, 150 [Phonetic] numbers, that is all existing reactors, they want to replace the heat exchangers.

Garvita Jain

And so there’s 150 like 200 units of capacity which we have Is the annual capacity or monthly capacity

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Present. We are going to start January 2727 hours. 200 numbers.

Garvita Jain

Once the expansion is ready, we’ll have a capacity of 200 units, right?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes, ma’ am.

Garvita Jain

And is that the annual manufacturing capacity or the monthly capacity? I’m asking sir.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Monthly madam. This is 280 XM. It is monthly just startup and based on requirement we can increase the capacity. That is our plan. GL appointments standard plus plan.

Garvita Jain

So for the current order which we have for 150 units that will be delivered within one month after the expansion, right?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

No madam, this 150 we are going to deliver in coming four months we are importing this retailers. We are importing from Japan and we are delivering now.

Garvita Jain

Okay. So if I’m reading it right we are importing them and we are assembling them here. We are not manufacturing here in India, right?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes, ma’ am.

Garvita Jain

Okay. And so one more question. If you could tell me how much of the impact we can see on the revenue from this tie up with Japan company And with the new product which we are coming with

Nageswara Rao Kandula

This challenge exchanger going to increase our adding to the particular glass line division. I’m not talking about the total revenue glass line division. We are expecting 30 40% revenue from particularly shallow cubic center.

Garvita Jain

Okay. Glass line contribution will increase by 30 to 40%. Right? One more question I have sir. If I can just quiz in how much of the contribution do we have from non pharmaceutical business segments?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

No madam, our major business is 85% coming from pharma. 15% only aggregators. That is also now focusing our chemicals and agrochemicals area. We are going to increase our business.

Garvita Jain

I’m sorry sir, if you could repeat. 15% share is coming from

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Chemicals, madam. Chemical and agrochemicals.

Garvita Jain

Chemical. All right. And can you name a few clients which we have from chemical and agribusiness?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

I can’t disclose my client list, madam. Please don’t mind.

Garvita Jain

Okay, not an issue, sir. Thank you so much. That’s all.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Thank you.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] The next question comes from the line of Rishi Kothari from Eitware investments. Please go ahead.

Rishi Kothari

Yeah. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I had just one question to ask. That is. Hello.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yeah. Hi sir. Tell me. Tell me sir.

Rishi Kothari

So given that we now are net debt free with cash balance of around 260 odd crores. How do we plan to deploy that capital? Are we looking at Capex R and D investments or do we want to return that money to the shield to buy to the source? How exactly are we looking at?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Already we announced we have land 36 acres from Telangana government. And we are going to build 5 and a half lakh square feet. One plant, one room. Current our plant capacity is 60 mm thick. 60 ton crane capacity plant we have. And we are going to build 100mm thickness and 100 ton crane capacity plant. We are. We are going to construction. We are expecting 18 to 24 months. We are going to complete this project. Once this project is complete we are going to enter in the petrochemicals, heavy engineering divisions. This is. We are budgeted almost 130 crores. We are going to invest on this facility.

Rishi Kothari

All would be investment in terms of capex and nothing in terms of other deployment.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

But present we are focusing on cap. We are going to do CAPEX 130crores on this facility. Any good opportunities, any future acquisition opportunities we are all time open.

Rishi Kothari

Okay. Yeah. Pretty clear. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much for talking. I’ll turn back to Q.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you again. If you wish to register for a question please press star then one. Our next question comes from the line of Hemant Soni an investor. Please go ahead.

Hemant Soni

So thank you for providing me the opportunity. So I had couple of questions. First I wanted to ask is we had earlier guided that we wanted to sell around SIR50 to 100 hit exchanges in Q1 of FY26. And gradually it will ramp up to 200 hit exchanges by Q3 of the current financial year. That is FY26. So I mean I. I’m new to the company and I think that the production will take some time for it exchanges. So are we going to import it and assemble it here? And if that is so then when will the production of the heat exchange start?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Sir, once again I will explain just last call also explained one month back we. started booking this heat exchangers we booked within 15 days. We got 150 heat exchanges numbers. This all 150 heat exchangers we are going to complete within 16 to 20 weeks deliveries. We are importing from Japan and we are. We are some additional parts. We are manufacturing and we are doing future. We are talking about the decent. January 27th onwards last quarter we are going to Planning to produce 200 heat exchanges per month. But slowly this is going to 50, 60 or 100 numbers like that the next fourth quarter is going to revenue growth is maybe good due to the heat exchanger. But whatever we have 150 numbers are. We are. We are going to complete within three to four months.

Hemant Soni

So sir, I mean then the fourth quarter will start the production of heat and stages

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Production means that is also partial production, full production, 80% still 80% production going to happen in Japan.

Hemant Soni

Okay. Okay. Okay. And sir, the greenfield project which we were talking about. The 9 lakh square feet that says we are planning.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Sir, 5, 5 and up, 9 and up.

Hemant Soni

And the phase one consists of 3 lakh square feet, right?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

No, sir, total we are. We are based on industry demand and international clients approach and everything based on that anchorage would be. Management is decided to construct 5ft at a time.

Hemant Soni

When will it go live? Sir?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Sorry?

Hemant Soni

When will it go live?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

We are. We are. We are expecting this project to complete within 18 to 24 months.

Hemant Soni

18 to 24 months. Okay. Sir, answer my one more question regarding the revenue guidance. Ms. Was has already been answered. We just wanted to ask you one thing. That export consignment has been referred to Q1, right? So can we expect some better numbers in Q1?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes, definitely.

Hemant Soni

So there should be a Q and Q growth, right?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes, yes. Q1 is going good.

Hemant Soni

And sir, one more thing is. We have guided for 20 to 25% revenue growth in F26, correct?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes, possibilities

Hemant Soni

22, 25% revenue growth. And sir, what was the EBITDA margin?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Good, sir. Compared to this year also next year coming 10 years is very very good. Company growth is there, sir.

Hemant Soni

Okay, sir. Okay. Okay, sir. Thank you. Thank you.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Thank you.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Your next question comes from the line of Yash from BNP Pariba. Please go ahead.

Yash

Hi. Thank you for providing the opportunity. I just had one question regarding the like how exactly are you planning to build the distribution and service capabilities across globe? Like in international markets. Specifically outside India or Japan. Like where do we have exclusive supply rights for the new heat exchanger technology? Like if you could throw some light on that.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Japan Already we have investor and partner GL Airco going to handle our products. That is directly. They are already networked. They are the world’s largest all glass equipment manufacturer and a leading glass equipment manufacturing Japan. So they have own sales network and everything. India we have own sales network. Network network. We know from and particularly US and Europe. IPP International Process Plant New Jersey, USA they have all the 1,056,000 clients. And Europe and the USA and Romania they have already service center and start points. They are going to manage our business there. There is sole seller for our products. We are already signed for them for agreement. They are going to manage our business. And the second is biocon Solutions recently designed. They are going to manage Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore and Malaysia that regions. They are already they have service setups and sales setups. They are going to handle these products. So almost all 80% we cover with IPP and Biocon solutions and GL Haco and rest of 20% like a middle east and other areas. We are directly. We are going to handle that business.

Yash

Okay, thanks.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Thank you sir.

Operator

Thank you. Next question comes from the line of from IFL Capital. Please go ahead.

Mudit Bhandari

Hi sir. In terms of your EBIT margin. So glass line shows strong improvement. If you see from third quarter to fourth quarter and metal equipment divisions saw some decline around 17% in third quarter to 11% in fourth quarter. So any particular reason or one of

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Product mix? Product mix. Due to product mix this is happening. But only you can look into the year on year growth.

Mudit Bhandari

Got it sir. So within metal forms metal equipment division, which are our products which are of lower margin. Okay then. But this is a strong diverse from 17% to 11% in metal equipment division only because of product mix. Please. In third quarter 17% EBIT margin and in fourth quarter 1311 margin is only because of product mix. Right?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes sir. Yes,

Mudit Bhandari

Got it. And what are our CapEx plan for our the expansion project? So in FY26 and FY27 the total amount that we will be spending including the maintenance and sustenance capex

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Existing facilities we are going to invest in almost all 40 crores on existing facility. Whatever we say in IPO IPO funds and new project we have new capex we are going to do 130 crores with 36 acres land 500 plus square feet we are going to build that is one big expansion.

Mudit Bhandari

This 130 will be done in current year FY26.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

We are expecting 18 to 24 months. That project is going to come is complete. Greenfield. Greenfield project.

Mudit Bhandari

Okay. Okay, got it sir. Thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Romul Jain from Electrum ems. Please go ahead.

Romil Jain

Hi, am I audible? Sir, yes sir please. Thanks for the opportunity. So firstly just to understand on this glass line heat exchanger business. So as you mentioned you are going to. So this is an outsourcing contract. Basically outsourcing of heat exchanger manufacturing from Japanese guys, right? AGI. So you will actually manufacture for them and sell it to them only, right? If I understand that correctly

Nageswara Rao Kandula

They are innovator. We got license are going to sell worldwide except Japan. Japan directly they will sell.

Romil Jain

Okay.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

India and rest of world.

Romil Jain

India and rest of the world you will sell with their technology with their license. So are we going to pay any royalty or any one time fee or anything like that? If you can clarify to the Japanese company

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Domestic loyalty we are going to pay 4% and global royalty we are going to play 7%.

Romil Jain

Okay. Okay, got it. And sir, when? So till 2027 January we will largely import from them and sell it. But later on when we manufacture on our own, will the margins start moving upwards in this?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

This is going to be one of good point.

Romil Jain

Okay. And sir you mentioned that you will. You will have a 200 units per month capacity. So. But. So let’s. Let’s assume that in A by 28 you will be fully utilized. So what is the game plan after that? Where can this capacity go?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Capacity? No baseline demand. We can expand. We are planning to produce per month 600700 detectors. Also that plant. We are building like that future. Okay. We are going to see the market response. Market estimation. We are going to start first phase 200 detect changes to the 27th of January onwards.

Romil Jain

And the application for this will be largely pharma and chemicals. Is that right?

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Chemical petrochemicals.

Romil Jain

Okay. Okay. And lastly sir, just on this conductivity glass when it is going to start in terms of production and all. And can you just help us with what kind of revenues will this. You know contribute and what kind of margin implications it will have.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Conductivity glass going to big claim game changer. Because of whatever current producing. Not India global players also they all are producing non conductivity gas line. And we are already our Japanese company sent this staff last three, four months. We trained our employees and the production staff. We have successfully demonstrated and completed. Now we are approaching proper institutes approved authentication certificate. Once that we got certification coming. We are hope we will get within two, three, two to three months. Once we got this certificate we will officially eat a connectivity glass lining going to be launching that how much we are growing we need to see. Sir. We are also launching with reasonable price. Because we don’t want to put higher price and customer can’t bear. Also my intention is. I. My. My business should be. This is. We are doing B2 business. B2B whatever we are selling that customer also going to get benefit. Once we sell started selling this connectivity glass line reactors customer plans also going to very same. And they can grow customer growth. We grow that and the revenue profitability. How much growth we need to see how what is the customer response. How much they are going to pay that we need to analysis. We need to wait something sometime.

Romil Jain

So we as we can see FY27 getting some revenues out of this.

Nageswara Rao Kandula

Yes. Our target is all reactors we are going to sell. That is that that we are planning. Then that of that customer is customer also going to act out because of now what happened. Customer is using tip Tantalon tip is the static discharge. But that is not sufficient. But government now instructed every reactor require because of earlier they don’t no one have conductivity glass mining. But once the conductivity glass launched government if you expect to use conductivity glass mining reactors then that is going to be a big game changer for gas any industry.
