Growth thesis

Duroply Industries is a plywood manufacturer operating through in-house (premium/mid-segment) and contract manufacturing segments. Growth is driven by expanding frontline sales, B2B project sales focus, and industry consolidation from supply chain disruptions. Management targets 9-12% volumetric growth over two years with EBITDA margins improving from mid-3.5% to 6.5-7% by FY27 via cost control and pricing discipline. Over 2-3 years, the company aims to achieve a 65:35 in-house-to-contract manufacturing mix, 85% Rajkot plant utilization, and 6.5-7% EBITDA margins. Key execution risks include raw material cost volatility (40% of petrochemical inputs imported) and regional construction restrictions in North India.
