Challenges
Customer Concentration: A significant portion of the company’s revenue is generated from its largest customers. Its top five customers accounted for 62.95% of revenue in FY26, creating exposure to changes in orders from major clients.
Raw Material Exposure: The company’s polymer-based manufacturing operations expose it to changes in raw material prices, including inputs whose prices can be influenced by crude oil movements.
Working Capital Requirements: Manufacturing operations across multiple facilities and servicing customers across different industries require effective management of inventory, receivables and working capital.
Dependence on Repeat Orders: Business performance depends partly on maintaining relationships with existing customers and securing repeat orders, while many customer arrangements may not guarantee future volumes.
Expansion Execution: The company plans to deploy part of the IPO proceeds towards additional plant and machinery, making timely implementation and effective utilisation of new manufacturing capacity important for future expansion.
