Risk Factors

Key risks disclosed include heavy dependence on export sales, with the U.S. market accounting for 53.76% of export revenue in FY 2026 and an additional 25% Section 232 tariff applying to U.S. exports. Significant customer concentration is another factor, with the top 10 customers contributing 60.86% of revenue from sale of products in FY 2026, with no long-term supply commitments in place. The company has no hedging policy, leaving substantially all foreign currency exposure unhedged, resulting in net foreign exchange losses of ₹38.15 million and ₹53.78 million in FY 2025 and FY 2024 respectively. Additionally, 46+ instances of delayed statutory filings with the Registrar of Companies — with delays extending up to 3,771 days — expose the company to potential penalties and regulatory actions. The company's credit rating was downgraded from BWR BBB/Stable to BWR BB-/Stable and has been classified as 'Issuer Not Cooperating' since FY 2023.
