Objects of the Issue
- Capital Expenditure: ₹20.88 crores towards capital expenditure for the purchase of plant and machinery to enhance existing production capacity and improve operational efficiency.
- General Corporate Purposes: Balance net proceeds for general corporate purposes including strategic initiatives, strengthening marketing network & capability, meeting exigencies, and brand building exercises.
Risk Factors
- Substantial Dependence on Limited Product Range and Customer Concentration: The company derives significant revenue from manufacturing tarpaulins (46.29% in FY2026) and trading granules (48.25% in FY2026), with the top customer contributing 41.16% of total revenue.
- Manufacturing Facilities Not Owned by Company: The company's registered office and manufacturing facility are leased properties, not owned by the company. Any termination or non-renewal of lease agreements could severely disrupt operations.
- Under-utilization of Manufacturing Capacity: The company operated at only 64.64% capacity utilization in FY2023-24, improving to 60.17% in FY2024-25. Continued inability to effectively utilize existing and proposed manufacturing capacity may adversely affect business performance.
- Heavy Dependence on Limited Supplier Base: The company sources 90.61% of raw materials from its top 10 suppliers, with the top supplier alone contributing 55.87% of total purchases.
- Negative Cash Flow History and Working Capital Constraints: The company experienced negative operating cash flows of ₹1,078.51 lakhs in FY2025 and ₹205.12 lakhs in FY2024, primarily due to increased working capital requirements.

Will the complete lack of QIB subscription on Day 2 deter institutional participation on the final day, potentially leading to a listing at a discount?
How might Shakti Polytarp's high customer concentration (41% from top client) impact its revenue stability and valuation in the post-listing period?
Given the company's history of negative operating cash flows, will the proceeds from this IPO be sufficient to resolve working capital constraints without further dilution?
