  9. Maintain working capital discipline - \~100 days Partial - At the Q4 FY22 call, management stated they would like to keep total working capital days at 100 days under normal conditions.

  10. Maintain or improve EBITDA margin - 18.4%+ sustained Partial - At the Q4 FY21 call, management stated their endeavour would be to maintain or increase the EBITDA margin from the 18.4% achieved in FY21, later refined to an 18-20% range.

  12. Five proprietary products commercialisation - 5 products, ₹100-110 cr capex, within two years (by \~Mar 2023) Partial - At the Q4 FY21 call, management committed to commercialising five proprietary products from SCC within two years with capex of ₹100-110 cr and revenue potential in excess of 2× the investment. The Bhavnagar plant achieved full production by FY25, but the Tarapur plant never reached full commercialisation for export revenues, and aggregate CRAMS/CSM sales reached only ₹110-140 cr by Q4 FY26 against the ₹200-250 cr target.
