Implementation Delays and Key Observations
The report notes delays in the implementation of certain objects. Key highlights include:
- Future Ceramic Private Limited (FCPL): Original completion date was March 31, 2023; actual completion was December 31, 2023, a delay of 9 months, attributed to heavy and delayed monsoon in Morbi.
- AGL Sanitaryware Private Limited: Original completion date was March 31, 2023; actual completion was December 31, 2023, a delay of 9 months, due to monsoon-related construction delays.
- General Corporate Purpose: Completed with no delay.
- Working Capital – Proposed Capex: Original completion date was March 31, 2024; actual completion was December 31, 2024, a delay of 9 months, due to change in object clause and subsequent shareholder approvals.
- Stock Point for Trading of Building Construction Material: Original completion date was December 31, 2024; status is in process, with an 18-month delay due to delays in identifying suitable options for stock point setup.
- Display Centre – Ahmedabad: Original completion date was December 31, 2024; funding is completed with a 12-month delay. However, as confirmed by management, implementation of the project is yet to commence.
Regarding the Display Centre cum Office at Ahmedabad, Asian Granito had initially entered into an agreement with an EPC contractor, supported by an advance payment of INR 69.000 crore. This contract was terminated in Q4 FY2025. By the end of Q2 FY2026, INR 68.715 crore of the advance had been refunded, leaving a balance of ₹0.285 crore still pending. Subsequently, a new agreement was signed with a different vendor, to whom a total of INR 73.802 crore was transferred. As per a Joint Collaboration Agreement dated February 11, 2025, the company has provided a refundable security to an EPC contractor for land identification; however, construction of the display center is yet to commence. Asian Granito expects to receive the remaining INR 0.285 crore from the previous contractor in the upcoming quarter.
