Q: How does Texmaco plan to handle potential oversupply in the wheel segment? A: Sudipta Mukherjee mentioned that Texmaco's strategy is not to compete directly with peers but to focus on internal consumption and assured off-take business opportunities, viewing the business differently.
Q: What is the expected impact of the South African order on FY27 and FY28 revenues? A: Sudipta Mukherjee indicated that significant revenue from the South African order is expected to accrue in FY28, with ongoing deliveries to Cameroon and other expected orders contributing to FY27.
