Risks
Customer concentrationThe ten largest customers contributed 59.21%, 61.62% and 47.36% of revenue in FY2026, FY2025 and FY2024 respectively. Losing a key customer or failing to retain comparable orders could materially affect revenue, financial performance and cash flows.
Supplier concentrationThe ten largest suppliers represented 85.36% of raw material purchases in FY2026. The absence of definitive long-term supply agreements creates exposure to supplier disruptions and limits certainty around raw material availability and pricing.
Negative operating cash flowsOperating cash flow was negative at ₹557.06 lakhs in FY2026 and ₹331.00 lakhs in FY2025. Continued negative cash generation could constrain capital expenditure, debt repayment and ongoing operations without additional financing.
Borrowing and repayment riskOutstanding borrowings totalled ₹2,802.48 lakhs as of March 31, 2026 and were secured against current assets and the manufacturing facility. Failure to meet repayment obligations or loan covenants could allow lenders to accelerate repayment or enforce security.
Key person dependencyThe business depends significantly on sole remaining promoter Kedar Mayank Choksi for strategic decisions and important customer and supplier relationships following the demise of co-promoter Mayank Bhikhabhai Choksi. The loss of the promoter or other key personnel could disrupt operations and financial performance.
Single manufacturing facilityThe company operates from one manufacturing facility in Kadi, Gujarat. Equipment breakdowns, power interruptions, natural disasters or labour disputes at the site could result in production stoppages or slower operations and affect financial results.
Statutory compliance historyThe company has disclosed several delayed or non-filed statutory forms with the Registrar of Companies, including delays of up to 1,131 days. It has also reported late TDS, GST, PF and ESIC filings, exposing it to possible penalties and regulatory action.
Competitive industry environmentThe steel tubes and pipes market includes organized and unorganized domestic and international competitors, some with greater financial and operational resources. Rising competition may put pressure on selling prices, margins and market share.
Regional revenue concentrationGujarat contributed 54.49% of domestic revenue in FY2026. Economic weakness, regulatory developments or other disruptions in the state could therefore materially affect revenue and operating performance.
Uncommitted machinery purchasesMachinery purchases worth ₹1,319.78 lakhs planned from IPO proceeds had not yet been supported by purchase orders. The company has not identified an alternative funding source, creating execution and funding risk if procurement is delayed, costs increase or the IPO does not generate the expected proceeds.
