In his first interaction with analysts this week, managing director and CEO S Sankarasubramanian highlighted the increased thrust on cost savings from backward integration. The company expects it to result in an increase of about 40% in Ebitda per tonne for manufactured fertilizers to around ₹7,000 by FY28 from the guidance of ₹4,500-5,000 per tonne for FY25. In H1, it stood at ₹4,800.
