  • Capital Expenditure for Distillation Plant at Ravalgaon, Maharashtra: ₹3.79 crores
  • Capital Expenditure for expansion and Development of Farms: ₹15.23 crores
  • Prepayment or repayment of certain outstanding borrowings: ₹3.63 crores
  • To meet General Corporate Purpose: ₹4.65 crores

Risk Factors

Material risks associated with the company include:

  • Customer Concentration Risk: The top customer contributed 54.57% of revenue in FY2026, and the top 5 customers contributed 85.49%. There are no long-term agreements with major customers.
  • Trade Receivables Collection Risk: Trade receivables totaled ₹940.13 lakhs as of March 31, 2026, with ₹553.91 lakhs outstanding for more than six months.
  • Weather and Climate-Related Operational Risk: Business is exposed to adverse weather patterns including irregular monsoons, floods, and droughts, which could disrupt production.
  • Related Party Transaction Dependency: Significant purchases were made from related party Quanto Agritech Private Limited, representing 23.31% of total expenses in FY2024.
  • Geographic Revenue Concentration Risk: 99.26% of revenues came from Maharashtra as of March 31, 2026.

What's Next

The IPO will close on 2026-09-17. Allotment is scheduled for 2026-09-18, and the listing date is set for 2026-09-22.

Will the lack of QIB and NII interest on Day 1 signal broader skepticism toward small-cap agri-business IPOs, or is this typical for micro-cap issues with limited market visibility?

Given that 54.57% of revenue comes from a single customer without long-term contracts, how might the company mitigate the risk of revenue volatility post-listing?

How will the allocation of ₹15.23 crores towards farm expansion impact the company's short-term cash flow, especially considering ₹553.91 lakhs in trade receivables are already overdue by more than six months?
