₹2,000 Cr of mango pulp, PET resin, sugar, concentrates & packaging runs through 6 input lines — mango pulp the largest input (~150,000 MT, India's largest buyer) and PET resin the biggest packaging-cost driver (crude-linked). This view turns that into two moves: a ₹70 Cr cash release from stretching to terms, and a secure-supply plan for the 6 inputs whose risk could stall the filling / bottling lines at the summer peak.
