Objects of the Issue
The proceeds from the issue are intended for the following purposes:
- Repayment/Pre-payment of Outstanding Borrowings – Company: ₹215.00 crore towards repayment or pre-payment of outstanding borrowings and accrued interest to reduce indebtedness and debt servicing costs.
- Repayment/Pre-payment of Outstanding Borrowings – Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries: ₹30.00 crore to invest in Covertek Ceramica Private Limited and Varmora Sanitarywares Private Limited for repayment of their borrowings.
- General Corporate Purposes: Balance net proceeds towards growth opportunities, brand building, marketing, strategic initiatives, partnerships, acquisitions, and ordinary course business expenses, subject to a cap of 25% of Gross Proceeds.
Risk Factors
Key risks associated with the investment include:
- Geographic Concentration: 81.72% of revenue is derived from in-house manufacturing facilities concentrated in Morbi, Gujarat. Disruptions such as natural disasters or agitations could severely impact production.
- Revenue Concentration: 73.98% of revenue comes from GVT and technical products, making the company vulnerable to demand slowdowns in this specific segment.
- Geopolitical Impact: The US-Israel-Iran conflict has disrupted fuel supply and export shipping routes, impacting energy costs and export operations which account for 21.11% of product sales.
- Franchisee Dependency: 66.80% of domestic sales are through franchisees. Non-performance or defection of these independent third parties could damage brand reputation and revenue.
- Raw Material Volatility: The company faces exposure to price volatility and supply disruptions for key raw materials like clays and glaze, which accounted for 24.56% of total income in FY2026.
