Will the complete lack of Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) interest signal potential liquidity or valuation concerns for Shakti Polytarp post-listing?
How might the company's heavy reliance on a single top customer (41.16% of revenue) impact investor confidence if that relationship faces disruption?
Given the negative operating cash flows in FY2025, will the IPO proceeds be sufficient to stabilize working capital requirements without diluting future profitability?
