Has been struggling in FY 26 due to tariffs and volatility in raw materials.
Sales
Exports - 58% (primarily OEM model, white label)
Domestic - 42%
Two new plants came online: a workwear and hand-protection factory in Gujarat (PROTECH, ₹100 Cr capex), and an industrial safety shoes unit in West Bengal (₹25 Cr capex). Both are now commercially operational. Both are in utilization ramp.
They had give discounts for export sales due to weaker demand and various factors such as tariffs, war, fuel, raw materials. But overall business is solid and moat is good, just macro not supporting, hopefully things will change in FY 27 and Revenue will expand due to new plants and utilisation.
Overall I feel its at a bottom considering 52 H - 1520 and 52 L - 929. And Europe deal will accelerate growth. Fingers crossed.

When you are riding on your high horse considering yourself invincible, life comes to you while you are smiling and it looks into your eyes and gives you a tight slap.
Then you get down on your knees and say: Hello maalik thoda galti ho gayi 😅
Stay humble.
Would you buy a ticket to your life?
If your life were a gallery and someone walked through your weeks the way they’d walk through an exhibit, would you buy a ticket?
Game theory
Most people are playing the wrong game.
If you want to get rich, there are only 3 games that actually matter.
Everything else is a distraction
A 22 years old investor asked me last week, “What should I do to compound at 40%?”
I paused before answering, because the honest response is rarely the one people want.
I told him this. If you are okay with roughly 13-14% CAGR. Systematic investing into good mutual funds, patience, and time will quietly do the job.
If you want 20% CAGR, the game changes slightly. You still rely on funds, but you become opportunistic. You add more when markets fall, when headlines feel uncomfortable, when SIPs test your conviction. You learn to lean into fear instead of avoiding it.
At 25% CAGR, effort becomes unavoidable. You start tracking what HNI investors are buying. You study small-cap/microcap stocks, read annual reports, and try to understand businesses instead of just owning tickers. You begin forming opinions, not just allocations.
But the moment you say you want 40-50% or more, you should understand what you’re signing up for.
You are leaving the comfort of consensus.
You will buy when others doubt. You will sit through volatility that feels unnecessary and unfair. You will look wrong for long stretches of time. There will be no templates, no ready-made lists, no perfect screeners to hide behind.
At that level, copying stops working. Original thinking begins.
Higher returns are rarely about better information. They are usually about stronger conviction built from your own work.
And very few people truly want that life once they see the price attached to it.
