The renewal wall

₹765 Cr up for renewal · ₹106 Cr at risk

Next four quarters of premium & OEM-programme renewals. At-risk = attrition-flagged or contraction-likely.

Q3 FY26₹180 Cr due · ₹22 Cr at risk

Q4 FY26₹210 Cr due · ₹30 Cr at risk

Q1 FY27₹175 Cr due · ₹20 Cr at risk

Q2 FY27₹200 Cr due · ₹34 Cr at risk

Defend first: the ₹106 Cr at-risk slice. Each point of attrition on the ₹780 Cr base is ₹8 Cr of premium & synthetic revenue gone — far cheaper to retain than to re-win.

The cross-sell play

Premiumise across the portfolio

Premium / synthetic mix is 33% vs a 40% target; the gap is synthetic & premium content not yet attached.

Switch-to-Synthetic retail (SynPower / MaxLife) is the lever: 35% GM and 108% repeat — the best economics in the book. Attaching it to existing distributor & OEM accounts both raises margin and lifts the premium / synthetic mix.

Switch-to-Synthetic retail (SynPower / MaxLife) is the moat: 450 sticky programmes — repeat-buying even at lower margin; the foot in the door for cross-portfolio upsell.
