We are optimistic about the future, anticipating a positive shift in the domestic demand landscape in the upcoming years, particularly from the second half of the current fiscal. This optimism is underpinned by several factors such as (i) rebound in domestic demand, driven by the lag effect of new construction projects, where tiles are typically applied during the finishing stages; (ii) expected growth acceleration in the real estate sector, which is poised to contribute significantly to the domestic market environment; (iii) continued momentum in exports, which are expected to provide further support to the Indian tile industry, the company stated in regulatory filing.
Meanwhile, the companys board has declared a final dividend of Rs 3 per share for FY24.
