- Geographic Revenue Concentration: Over 86% of revenue in Fiscal 2026 was generated from projects in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, exposing the company to regional economic slowdowns and state-specific policy changes.
- High Client Concentration: The top five clients contributed 76.66% of revenue from operations in Fiscal 2026, creating significant dependency on a limited client base.
- Entry into Renewable Energy: Renewable energy projects constituted 88.38% of the total order book as of June 30, 2026, despite minimal promoter experience in this capital-intensive sector.
- Declining Bid Success Rate: The bid success rate declined from 30.91% in Fiscal 2024 to 19.48% in Fiscal 2026, impacting potential revenue inflows.
