The week, day by day

Collect the ₹18 Cr now over 60 days late and pull collection time from 28 to 24 days
₹192 Cr owed across the customer book (general trade, modern trade, e-comm / q-commerce & exports) · ₹18 Cr is more than 60 days late · export-LC and institutional / CSD accounts (export importers ~45d, institutional ~38d) collect the slowest.
Cash+₹27.4 CrCarry/yr+₹2.7 Cr
🎯 Target: Balances over 60 days worked to zero; collection time 28d → 24d.
⏱ Why now: Every collection day is about ₹6.8 Cr of cash — the 4-day gap to target is real, fundable money that also builds net cash.

Signals to watch

Leading indicators · one number, the action it implies

🌶️ Commodity exposure
Pure / Ground = 28.0% of revenue

Pure / Ground Spices is ₹700 Cr of the ₹2.50k Cr book — earnings stay exposed to chilli / turmeric / cumin commodity prices. The watch-item is premiumization: lift the organized-channel + export mix 36%→45% via modern trade, q-commerce and exports.

🔁 Organized Mix
36% organized vs 45% target

General trade still dominates volume. Grow modern trade, q-commerce and exports — the higher-visibility, higher-value book — to lift the mix toward target.

Sales Velocity
Proposals are the slowest stage

₹90 Cr (steam-sterilization / Umbergaon) and ₹70 Cr (modern-trade blends / DMart) are sitting in Proposal. Enforce dated next steps before they age out.

🏭 Plant Capacity
84% capacity utilization

8 points of idle capacity against the 92% target across grinding & packing. Fill it before adding lines — every utilized hour drops to margin.
