Commenting on the performance Mr. Rushil Thakkar, Managing Director, said:
“In Q2 FY2025, Rushil Decor reported Revenues of Rs. 2,304 million representing a year-on-year growth of 12.6% and a growth in PAT of 7.9%. Improved realizations in our MDF boards export markets significantly contributed to our overall financial performance. The MDF division remained a key growth driver, with a revenue increase of 14.8%, and value-added products now accounting for 54% of total MDF boards revenue.
On the expansion front, our Jumbo Laminate project in Gandhinagar encountered temporary delays due to late machinery supply and heavy rainfall affecting installation. We anticipate operations to commence by the end of Q4 FY2025. Once operational, this facility is expected to produce an additional 2.8 million sheets annually, not only significantly enhancing our production capacity but allow us to enter the Jumbo sized market.
Expanding our international footprint, we have incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Singapore focused on laminates to target the Southeast Asian market more effectively. This initiative is expected to drive revenue growth and improve margins in the region. Our participation in various European exhibitions this quarter has generated additional inquiries for our MDF products, presenting further growth opportunities in international markets.
A planned maintenance shutdown is scheduled at our Chikmagalur unit, which manufactures MDF boards. This routine procedure is conducted every 3 to 4 years to ensure operational efficiency, enhance product quality and sustain over 100% capacity utilization over the next three years.
During this quarter, we added 65 new distributors and 105 new dealers, further strengthening our market presence. Our commitment to sustainability remains unwavering, as demonstrated by our agroforestry initiatives, which enhance our raw material supply chain and contribute to local community development.
As the newly appointed Managing Director, I look forward to leading Rushil Decor through this growth phase, leveraging our management team’s capabilities and executing our strategic initiatives to deliver sustained value for all stakeholders.”
