FY24 base volume was 4,91,000 MT, FY25 grew 9.2% to 5,35,939 MT, and FY26 Q1 volume was down 26.9% YoY, well below the \~23% CAGR required, but the FY26-FY27 horizon remains open.

FY25 revenue grew 12.87% and PAT grew 5.92%, implying EPS growth well below the 20% CAGR target (SQL; D24 p.8).
  7. Per-MT profit - ₹3,600-3,700 Delivered - At the Q3 FY24 call, management guided that per-MT profit should "definitely go to about 3,600-3,700 per MT" with the addition of new vessels.

  10. Dahej blending unit - commissioned by Q4 FY25 Missed - At the Q2 FY24 call, management guided that the new blending unit at the Dahej plant, originally scheduled for Q2 FY24 but delayed due to regulatory approvals, will be commissioned by Q4 FY25. The FY25 annual report was filed in August 2025 with no mention of the unit's commissioning, and CWIP rose from nil in FY24 to ₹15.55 cr in FY25, indicating the project remained incomplete past its deadline.
  11. Own-vessel EBITDA savings - \~₹50 cr from 20% margin on own-vessel volume Pending - At the Q4 FY23 call, management guided that meeting demand through own bitumen vessels would yield 20% on the volume from vessel operations, translating to "somewhere around 50 crores" EBITDA savings. FY25 shipping segment EBIT margin was 25%, consistent with the 20%+ margin expectation, but no explicit disclosure of ₹50 cr EBITDA savings from own-vessel operations exists in our record.
  12. Own-vessel volume share - 80%-90%, possibly 100% Partial - At the Q4 FY23 call, management guided they will try to bring in quantities on a basis of about 80%-90% through own vessels, possibly even 100%, later revised to 65%-70% in the next year at Q4 FY24 and 65%-70% in FY26 at Q4 FY25. Own-vessel share improved from \~47% in FY23 to \~60% in FY24 and FY25, and 60%-63% in Q1 FY26, representing meaningful progress but far short of the original 80%-90% target.

  14. Overtake Mumbai refinery volume - 600,000 tons in two years Missed - At the Q1 FY23 call, management stated "we are able to sell more than a particular refinery that is producing in Mumbai. Right now it is producing about 600,000 tons in a year; which we will try to overtake in the next two years". FY25 volume was 5,35,939 MT, falling short of the 600,000-ton target by the two-year deadline of FY25.
  15. Debt-free by 2024 Missed - At the Q4 FY22 call, management stated the company can "go debt free by 2024" if it does not undertake major capex, later revised at Q2 FY24 to net debt to zero by end of FY25.

Through FY26, management disclosures consistently reported market share within or near this range, including \~25% in Q2 FY23, 20%-30% in FY23 and FY24 PPTs, and nearly 20% in Q1 FY26.
  17. Annual volume growth target - 20%-25% every year Partial - At the Q4 FY22 call, management stated the company has always internally targeted volume growth of "minimum about 20% to 25%" per year, reiterated across multiple calls and later revised downward to 10%-20% at Q4 FY23, 15%-20% at Q4 FY24, and \~10% for FY26 at Q1 FY26. Volume growth was 10.13% in FY23, 15.80% in FY24, 9.2% in FY25, and negative in FY26 with Q1 volume down 26.9% YoY, achieving the target only in FY24 within the revised 15-20% band.

  19. FY22 topline - 20% higher than FY21 Delivered - At the Q1 FY22 call, management guided that the company should do "20% higher" topline than FY21. FY22 revenue was ₹1,601.99 cr, a 76.82% increase over FY21 revenue of ₹905.50 cr, exceeding the 20% target.
