Objects of the Issue

  • Repayment/Prepayment of Borrowings: ₹31.00 crore towards repayment or prepayment of certain secured borrowings from banks and financial institutions, including term loans and cash credit facilities, to reduce outstanding indebtedness, lower debt servicing costs, and improve the debt-to-equity ratio.
  • General Corporate Purposes: Balance Net Proceeds towards general corporate purposes including meeting operating expenses, initial development costs, strengthening business development and marketing capabilities, and meeting unforeseen exigencies.

Risk Factors

  • Geographic Revenue Concentration: Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Haryana collectively contributed 59.52%, 55.67%, and 59.14% of revenue from operations in FY2026, FY2025, and FY2024 respectively. Adverse regional developments could materially impact revenues.
  • Customer Concentration: The top 10 customers accounted for approximately 45.94%, 45.07%, and 47.64% of revenue from operations in FY2026, FY2025, and FY2024 respectively, with no long-term contracts in place.
  • Supplier Concentration: The top 10 suppliers accounted for 64.64%, 57.83%, and 64.64% of total purchases in FY2026, FY2025, and FY2024 respectively, with no long-term supply agreements.
  • Single Product Dependency: RPSF accounted for approximately 98.04%, 97.46%, and 96.63% of total revenue from operations in FY2026, FY2025, and FY2024 respectively.
  • High Indebtedness: As of 31 March 2026, outstanding secured borrowings stood at ₹6,317.92 lakhs and unsecured loans at ₹1,401.30 lakhs repayable on demand, with restrictive loan covenants in place.

How might the persistent lack of QIB interest influence Unitec Fibres' post-listing stock performance and liquidity on Day 1?

What impact could the completion of the third manufacturing unit in Valsad have on the company's ability to mitigate its current geographic revenue concentration risks?

Given the high customer and supplier concentration, how will the company's strategy for securing long-term contracts evolve to stabilize cash flows post-IPO?
