Failure by suppliers to deliver primary raw materials such as metal powders and polymers may have an adversely impact its ability to continue manufacturing process without interruption.

Any change in EXIM policy of any market of the country or restrictions of imports of RM of the company by India could adversely affect the business of the company considering significantly large exports and imports (60.95% of RM is imported in FY26). Currency exchange rate fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the business of the company.

Manufacturing facilities in India are concentrated in south India especially the state of Karnataka, TN & AP and any adverse developments affecting this region/states could have an adverse effect on business.

There have been delays in payment of statutory dues by the company and its subsidiaries in the past.

Contingent liability as of March 31, 2026, stood at Rs 227.449 crore.

High tooling and part development costs limit the viability for low-volume parts. And given energy-intensive debinding and sintering process in MIM and feedstock price volatility leads to margin pressure during energy and raw material upcycles.

Exposed to the risk of concentrated supply of MIM-grade powders; strict requirements on particle size, shape, and purity; limited recycled content usage.

Valuations

Consolidated re-stated sales stood higher by 26% to Rs 4192.99 crore in FY 2026. With the OPM contract by 250 bps to 25.5%, the growth of OP was 15% to Rs 1070.92 crore. As other income jumped by 188% to Rs 127.72 crore, the PBIDT stood higher by 23% to Rs 1198.64 crore.
