IMPORTANT: American media offers a lesson to India and the world. When powerful leaders assault a free press, solidarity is the strongest defence. United we stand, divided we fall. If media houses compete for power’s favour instead of defending press freedom, they risk losing the very freedom that allows them to exist. https://t.co/qZPA4UYL3i
THE CAPEX THEME — 01 🏭
Amrutanjan Health Care
CMP: ₹494
Market Cap: ₹1,428 Cr
A 133-year-old pain-balm company is quietly undergoing a major transformation.
And its biggest factory yet isn't being built for balm.
It's being built for sanitary pads.
🏭 THE ₹150 CR CAPEX
🔹 New ₹150 Cr plant in Telangana
🔹 Company's 5th manufacturing facility
🔹 2 automated production lines from Japan
🔹 Capacity: 700 million sanitary pads/year
🔹 ₹106 Cr invested in the plant so far
🔹 Built largely without debt
Amrutanjan has been selling Comfy sanitary pads for years, but production was outsourced to contract manufacturers.
Now, the company is bringing production in-house.
Comfy already contributes around 33% of sales and grew 18.1% last quarter — before the new plant fully ramped up.
📈 THE BUSINESS IS EXPANDING
The transformation isn't limited to sanitary pads.
The company has expanded into:
🔹 Razors
🔹 Antiseptic plasters
🔹 Pain oil
🔹 Nasal sprays
🔹 Beverages
These newer categories now contribute around 34% of revenue.
💰 CAPEX HAS SURGED
May 2024: Board approved ₹123 Cr for the new sanitary-pad facility.
FY25: ₹36 Cr spent
FY26: ₹55 Cr spent
That's roughly 9× its normal annual maintenance spending.
The major factory build-out is now largely behind the company.
Management has indicated that there is no major foreseeable CAPEX after the remaining building expenditure.
🎯 WHAT'S NEXT?
FY27 priorities:
🔹 Fill up the new factory
🔹 Make Comfy profitable
🔹 Expand chemist network toward 1,00,000 outlets
🔹 Relaunch Relief
🔹 Scale razors and plasters
🔹 Push Comfy into premium night pads
Management is targeting ₹1,000 Cr revenue by FY28, versus around ₹503 Cr currently.
They describe this as a stretch target, not a promise.
📊 THE NUMBERS
🏷️ Nearly 50% below its 10-year peak
Yet the business has delivered:
11% Sales CAGR
12% Profit CAGR
18% ROE
over 10 years, while expanding into new consumer categories.
The more recent numbers are mixed — 5-year profit CAGR is 1% — making execution of the new capacity an important factor to watch.
🔄 THE CAPEX STORY
The interesting part is the sequence:
CAPEX → New Capacity → Higher Production → Revenue Growth → Potential Margin Improvement
The company spent heavily while the new plant was still under construction.
Now the focus shifts from building capacity to utilising capacity.
CAPEX cycle → Capacity utilisation → Business expansion
That's the part I'm tracking.
Educational purposes only.
Not a buy/sell recommendation.
