Objects of the Issue

The company proposes to utilize the net proceeds from the issue for the following purposes:

• Funds for securing PBGs: ₹155.00 crores towards creating Fixed Deposits as collateral to fund Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) requirements, enabling bidding for larger projects in Government/PSU and Renewable Energy sectors.

Risk Factors

Key risks associated with the investment include:

• High Concentration of Revenue from Government/PSU Clients: The company derived 83.84% of its revenue from Government/PSU clients in Fiscal 2026, making it vulnerable to policy changes, tender delays, and debarment.
• 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 or adverse state policy changes.
• High Client Concentration: 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, yet promoters have minimal experience in this sector, exposing the company to execution and regulatory risks.
• Declining Bid Success Rate: The bid success rate declined from 30.91% in Fiscal 2024 to 19.48% in Fiscal 2026, impacting potential revenue generation.
