The year was marked by healthy growth across both domestic and export markets, supported by an improved product mix, premiumisation initiatives, operational efficiencies, and strong brand acceptance across segments.
While raw material prices have been witnessing an upward trend since March, there are currently no challenges with sourcing or availability of key inputs. To safeguard against rising input costs, we have implemented calibrated price hikes across our portfolio and distribution channels, averaging around 8?9%.
We are also pleased to share that we are currently in the process of onboarding the globally recognized premium riding gear, helmet, and motorsports brand Alpinestars under our private-label helmet segment.
On the expansion front, we continue to make steady progress in establishing our presence in Europe, particularly in Italy, with operations expected to commence from Q2 FY27. Simultaneously, our Phase-I capacity expansion of 1.5 million helmets per annum is progressing as planned and is expected to commence operations by Q2 FY27. Further, an additional 1.5 million helmets are planned for capacity expansion over the next 15?18 months. Post completion of these expansions, our total installed capacity will increase by 30% over FY26 levels to 12.5 million helmets per annum.
With enhanced capacities and a deeper focus on premium and value-added products, we remain confident of driving the company?s next phase of growth through strengthened global brand positioning, expansion of our international footprint, and continued premiumisation-led sustainable growth.?
