Financial Performance

• Capacity expansion. Funds will add machinery and a new facility.
• Heavy demand. The issue is oversubscribed many times, with a strong GMP.

Risks

• Very high valuation. About 134 times FY26 earnings leaves little room for disappointment.
• Young and small company. It was established in 2022 and has a short track record.
• Export concentration. Exports are about 84% of revenue, so currency and overseas demand matter. The customer base may be concentrated.
• Niche product dependence. Revenue depends on one product family and the plastics and polymer industry.
• Single facility. Operations are concentrated at one location in Vadodara.
• Promoter control. Promoters will hold about 93% after the issue, with a very small free float.
• SME risk. SME stocks are less liquid, more volatile and can fall sharply after listing, even after a strong subscription.
• High entry cost. The minimum investment of ₹2.53 lakh concentrates risk.
• Trading and intermediary business. Part of the business is trading components, which may carry lower margins and supplier risk.
• GMP-driven demand. High grey market premiums can attract speculation, and listing gains are not guaranteed.
