We anticipate this strategic move to increase consolidated EBITDA margin by 50-75 basis points from the current 4.4% in FY24 and boost our PAT margin to 3% from the current 2.6% within next 12 - 18 months. Our revenue crossed Rs. 1,745.5 crores in FY24 and with this strategic acqusition we plan to expedite ongoing plans to increase capacity utilization to full capacity within 2 years from the completion of the merger. We are confident that, coupled with this acquisition, we are well-positioned to achieve our revenue target of INR 6300 crores by FY27 and exceed it.
