    1. CAPEX on additional capacity of production has been done by Cosboard. Just check that the work in progress now added to Fixed Asset. Debt will reduce as Company uses its optimum capacity soon.
      It is the scenario in almost all turnaround case.

    2. Sir, based on your reply above, so most of their debt is for capex. but their tax pay out seems to be not in line with gov tax policies going forward they have to pay more abt 33% of the PBT so their PAT will continue to struggle due to high interest payment and tax payout. isnt that correct

    5. Due to uncertainty of demand many company doesn't pay tax on qoq rather paid in 4th qtr. While tax is levied on PAT not on PBT. Many times co adopted accounting policy to post on yoy tax due to recent profitability. Even you can check suzlon just example you will get answer. Earlier it was in loss so net set of yearly amount is to be considered.

      Company has increases balance sheet by adding capacity. Wait some time to prove company.
