Where does growth come from?
The plastic division grew 9.5% in Q2 FY26 after a weak period caused by monsoon, lower government infrastructure spending and deflation. Management now sees the worst period as over, with more inquiries for specialised pipes up to 2.5 metres in diameter and potentially strong infrastructure revenue from Q4 FY26 and FY27. The signal is reversing from weakness toward recovery. (1 reversing across 1 signal)
“Piping ... was soft ... government spend on the pipe-related infrastructure has been much less ... But I think we have weathered worst period behind us now on piping demand. ... 4th Quarter should bring some good numbers. And next year is definitely there are so many projects being negotiated in the pipeline.”

What could break the thesis?
The risk remains material but the business mix is becoming less concentrated. Standalone Hi-Tech Agri represented 65.5% of revenue and 81.0% of EBITDA in H1 FY26, while consolidated Hi-Tech Agri represented 35.3% of revenue and 46.7% of EBITDA. Growth is increasingly supported by exports, retail, solar pumps and tissue culture, but the standalone earnings base remains heavily dependent on Hi-Tech Agri. (1 easing)
“Hi-Tech Agri 10,544 65.5% ... EBITDA Hi-Tech Agri 1,871 81.0% ... driven by growth in retail, export, and tissue culture businesses.”
