Financial Highlights

Metric (₹ crore) FY2026 FY2025 FY2024
Revenue from Operations 383.80 337.62 317.39
Total Revenue 388.63 339.65 318.15

Objects of the Issue

  • Funding capital expenditure for setting up a proposed seafood processing facility, including purchase and installation of plant, machinery, and equipment (₹40.03 crore from net proceeds).
  • General corporate purposes, including purchase of raw materials, working capital requirements, and strategic initiatives.

Risk Factors

  • Revenue Concentration in China: Sales to Chinese customers aggregated ₹12,009.32 lakhs (31.29% of revenue from operations) in Fiscal 2026. Adverse developments in China could materially impact revenues.
  • High Customer Concentration: Top 10 customers accounted for 77.85% of revenue from operations in Fiscal 2026, up from 69.52% in Fiscal 2025, with no long-term agreements in place.
  • Negative Operating Cash Flows: The company reported negative net cash flows from operating activities in Fiscals 2024, 2025, and 2026 (₹(1,499.90) lakhs, ₹(505.82) lakhs, and ₹(626.63) lakhs respectively), with net working capital days rising from 52 to 90 over the same period.
  • High Leverage: Debt-to-Equity ratio stood at 2.40x in Fiscal 2026, with total finance costs of ₹1,246.69 lakhs, increasing vulnerability to economic downturns.
  • Product Concentration: Shrimp sales constituted 87.76% of total revenue in Fiscal 2026, making the company dependent on a single product segment susceptible to disease outbreaks and supply disruptions.

Will the continued absence of QIB interest through Day 2 and 3 trigger a potential postponement or withdrawal of the IPO?

How might the company address its negative operating cash flows if the IPO proceeds fall short of the minimum subscription threshold?

What impact could the high customer concentration in China have on the stock's listing performance given current geopolitical trade tensions?
