20
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements” which are not statements of historical
fact and may be described as “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include statements
which can generally be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “can”, “could”
“goal”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “objective”, “plan”, “project”, “should” “will”, “will continue”, “shall”
“seek to”, “will pursue” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our
strategies, objectives, plans, or goals are also forward-looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive
means of identifying forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on our present plans, estimates and expectations and actual results
may differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. For the reasons described below, we cannot assure
investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Therefore,
investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and not to regard such
statements as a guarantee of future performance.
Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements due to risks or
uncertainties associated with the expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to
the industry in which our Company has businesses and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully
implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general
economic and political conditions in India and globally which have an impact on our business activities or
investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in
India and globally, changes in laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in our industry and incidence
of any natural calamities and/or acts of violence.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are
not limited to, the following:
i. All our manufacturing facilities are situated at Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh resulting in concentration in a
single region. Any localized social unrest, natural disaster, delay in production at, or shutdown of, or any
interruption for a significant period of time, in these facilities may in turn adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations
ii. There is an increased awareness towards controlling pollution and many economies including India have
joined in the efforts to ban plastic product. In case any plastic packaging products manufactured by us are
banned in India or in any of the markets where we export our products, it could have a material and adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.
iii. Our Company's name may suggest involvement in agro business, leading to misconceptions among investors
iv. Our Company has negative cash flows from its operating, investing and financing activities in the past years,
details of which are given below. Sustained negative cash flow could impact on our growth and business.
v. Increased revenue may not necessarily lead to higher margins, as they are affected by raw material costs,
finance expenses, and other operational costs
vi. Poly Propylene granules, Poly Propylene (LDPE) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) of different grades
is our primary raw material constituting a significant percentage of our Company’s total expenses. The
business is susceptible to adverse impacts from fluctuations in crude oil prices affecting polymer costs, and
risks associated with foreign exchange movements during polymer imports. Additionally, increases in raw
material prices, supply shortages, and cost overruns pose potential adverse effects on our operations. Increases
in the prices of raw materials, their availability, quality and cost overruns could have adverse effect on us
vii. Heavy reliance on short-term raw material contracts, coupled with exposure to price fluctuations and lack of
hedging policies, poses a significant threat. Our Company is further subject to uncertainties in the supply of
raw materials and there is no assurance that our suppliers will continue to sell raw materials to us as per our
requirements. This could impact the business and financial performance of our Company
viii. Our Company has lapsed /delayed in making the required filings under Companies Act, 2013 and under the
applicable provisions of Companies Act, 1956.
ix. Majority portion of our domestic sales are derived from the western zone and any adverse developments in
this market could adversely affect our business.
x. The volatile fluctuations in crude oil prices, particularly during events like COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine
war, can result in substantial changes in manufacturing costs and gross profit margins within the FIBC market,
21
ultimately impacting the company's financial position.
For a discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations, see “Risk Factors”,
“Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
on pages 36, 179 and 342, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are estimates and could be
materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual gains or losses could materially
differ from those that have been estimated and are not a guarantee of future performance.
There can be no assurance to Bidders that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will
prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, Bidders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-
looking statements and not to regard such statements to be a guarantee of our future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect our views as of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus and are not a guarantee
of future performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn
are based on the currently available information. Although we believe that the assumptions upon which these
forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and
the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. None of our Company, Promoter,
Directors, the Selling Shareholder and the BRLMs or their respective affiliates have any obligation to update or
otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence
of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.
In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, our Company will ensure that investors in India are informed of
material developments from the date of filing of the Red Herring Prospectus until the date of Allotment. The
Selling Shareholder, (through our Company and the BRLMs) will ensure that investors are informed of material
developments in relation to the statements and undertakings expressly made by the Selling Shareholder in the
Red Herring Prospectus until the date of Allotment. Only statements and undertakings which are specifically
confirmed or undertaken by Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, in this Red Herring Prospectus shall be
deemed to be statements and undertakings made by such Selling Shareholder.

An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information in
this Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in
our Equity Shares. In making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of
our Company and the terms of this offer including the merits and risks involved. Any potential investor in, and
subscriber of, the Equity Shares should also pay particular attention to the fact that we are governed in India by a
legal and regulatory environment in which some material respects may be different from that which prevails in
other countries. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only risks and uncertainties we
currently face. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
have an adverse effect on our business. If any of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or
are now deemed immaterial, actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer,
the price of our Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part ofyour investment. Additionally, our
business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we
currently consider immaterial to our operations.
Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, we are not in a position to specify or quantify
the financial or other implications of any of the risks mentioned herein. Unless otherwise stated, the financial

Internal Risk Factors:
1. All our manufacturing facilities are situated at Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh resulting in concentration in a single
region. Any interruption for a significant period of time, in these facilities may in turn adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Company and our Subsidiaries collectively operate through 5 (five) manufacturing facilities and all the five
manufacturing facilities are situated at Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. Two of our Company’s manufacturing facilities
are situated at Plot No-192, Sector-1 and Plot No-640, Sector-3, Pithampur, Dhar - 454 775, Madhya Pradesh, India.
The remaining three manufacturing facilities are of our Subsidiaries namely Jagannath Plastics Private Limited,
Honourable Packaging Private Limited and Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Limited and are situated at Plot No 640-B
Sector- 3, Dhar, Pithampur-454 775, Madhya Pradesh, India; Plot No. 640-A, Sector-3, Industrial Area, Dhar,
Pithampur-454 775, Madhya Pradesh, India and Plot No. A.P.-14 (Apparel Park), SEZ Phase-II, Industrial Area,
Pithampur-454 774, Madhya Pradesh, India, respectively. Thereby resulting in concentration in a single region,
posing a concentration risk. The occurrence of any significant localized social unrest, natural disaster, delay in
production at, or shutdown of, or any interruption, including political instability, workforce productivity issues,
regulatory compliance challenges, production cost difficulties, or quality assurance concerns, along with
unforeseeable events such as natural disasters or pandemics like COVID-19 in or around Pithampur, Madhya
Pradesh, or any delay or disruption in production at our manufacturing units could significantly impact our business
and financial condition.
The concentration in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh heightens our exposure to adverse developments related to
competition, as well as economic, political, demographic and other changes in the state of Madhya Pradesh, which
may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
2. There is an increased awareness towards controlling pollution and many economies including India have joined
in the efforts to ban plastic product. In case any plastic packaging products manufactured by us are banned in
India or in any of the markets where we export our products, it could have a material and adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.
We are engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) i.e.
large flexible bags and other industrial packaging products such as woven sacks, woven fabric and narrow fabric,
tapes in the Indian domestic market and overseas. All of our products contain plastic as a primary raw material.
FIBC, major product that are typically made from woven polypropylene fabric, which is a type of plastic material.
FIBC contributes Rs. 27,774.20 lakhs i.e. 51.47% and Rs. 32,279.08 lakhs i.e. 67.89% of the total revenue in the
financial year ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 respectively. Woven Fabrics & Narrow Fabric are also
commonly made from polypropylene, a type of plastic which contributed Rs. 11,504.23 lakhs i.e. 21.32% of the
total revenue in the financial ended March 31, 2024 and has shown significant growth in revenue share, indicating
potential strategic emphasis or market demand.
Plastic, due to its lengthy decomposition period and harmful effects on the environment and living organisms is
increasingly being phased out by many countries worldwide. While previous measures have not directly impacted
our business, our Company cannot guarantee immunity from potential future regulations. Legislative actions, such
as those against plastic usage by the Government of India or stricter regulations on packaging products, could
adversely affect our business and operations.
Several Indian states have already enforced restrictions on single-use plastics, and there's a possibility of additional
restrictions or outright bans in countries to which we export our products. Such measures could detrimentally
impact our business operations. Although our Company primarily manufactures plastic products such as FIBC
Jumbo bags, woven sacks, woven fabric, and narrow fabric, we prioritize the reuse and recycling of plastic to
mitigate carbon emissions. Moreover, our FIBC Jumbo Bags have demonstrated no adverse effects on our business
thus far. Recycling generally reduces overall emissions compared to producing new plastic from raw materials.
Reusing plastic involves less processing than recycling, which can result in lower carbon emissions. However, if
the reused plastic requires additional cleaning or modification, this could involve some energy use and associated
emissions.
Overall, while recycling and reusing plastics are more environmentally friendly than producing new plastic, they
are not entirely free of carbon emissions. Reducing plastic use and investing in alternative materials are also
important strategies for minimizing environmental impact.
For further details, see “Risk Factor” and “Our Business” on Pages 36 and 179 respectively of this Red Herring
Prospectus.
37
3. Our Company's name may suggest involvement in agro business, leading to misconceptions among investors.
Despite our Company name suggesting involvement in agricultural activities, we want to clarify that our core
business activities revolve around manufacturing and selling Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) and
other industrial packaging products. This discrepancy between our name and our actual business activities may lead
to misunderstanding among investors regarding the nature of our operations. However, it's essential to clarify that
our core operations do not revolve around agricultural activities. Instead, we are primarily engaged in manufacturing
and selling Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) and other industrial packaging products. Therefore,
investors should be mindful of this discrepancy between our name and our actual business operations.
It is crucial for investors to assess our company based on our actual business activities rather than relying solely on
our name. This clarification helps mitigate potential misunderstandings and ensures that investors have a clear
understanding of our business model and market focus.
Except catering to the agriculture industry by supplying FIBC products for packaging and transportation needs, we
are not engaged in the agro business. Our core business focuses on providing packaging solutions rather than
participating directly in agricultural activities. The success of our business is not dependent on supplying our
products to the agro sector alone, but rather on our ability to serve a wide range of industries with our diverse
product portfolio.
4. Our Company has negative cash flows from its operating, investing and financing activities in the past years,
details of which are given below. Sustained negative cash flow could impact on our growth and business.
Our Company had negative cash flows from our operating activities, investing activities as well as financing
activities in theprevious year(s) as per the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements and the same are summarized
as under:
(₹ in lakhs)
For the year ended For the year ended For the year ended
Particulars
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
Net cash from/ (used in) operating

activities
Net cash from/ (used in) financing
3,176.87 (3,387.47) 3,290.64
activities
Further, due to COVID-19 pandemic and to maintain good relations with customers, our Company has made pre-
payment of outstanding dues to certain creditors. Consequently, the amount of creditors for Fiscal 2022 was
decreased by ₹ 2,500.25 lakhs as compared to Fiscal 2021, which has resulted into negative cash flows from
operating activities.
Cash flow of a company is a key indicator to show the extent of cash generated from operations to meet capital
expenditure, pay dividends, repay loans and make new investments without raising finance from external resources.
If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flows in future, it may adversely affect our business and financial
operations.
There can be no assurance that our net cash flows will be positive in the future. Any negative cash flows in the future
could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, and we cannot assure you that our net cash
flows will be positive in the future. For further details, see “Summary Financial Information” and “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition - Cash Flows” on Pages 78 and 342
respectively of this Red Herring Prospectus.
5. Increased revenue may not necessarily lead to higher margins, as they are affected by raw material costs, finance
expenses, and other operational costs.
Our margins are subject to various cost elements, including raw material expenses, finance charges, and operational
costs. While we are focused on increasing revenue, it is important to note that improvements in revenue may not
always directly result in higher margins due to these factors.
38
The cost of raw materials represents a component of our production expenses. We actively manage our procurement
strategies to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in raw material prices. However, unexpected price increases or supply
disruptions could challenge our ability to maintain optimal margins. Finance costs, associated with our debt
obligations, also influence our cost structure. We continuously monitor interest rate movements and seek to manage
our financial obligations prudently. Nevertheless, changes in interest rates or our credit profile could affect our
profitability despite revenue growth. Moreover, operational expenses such as logistics and overhead costs are
carefully controlled to optimize efficiency. However, unforeseen increases in these expenses could affect our
margins.
While we pursue revenue growth initiatives, investors should recognize that margin expansion may be tempered by
these operational dynamics. We remain committed to managing costs effectively and enhancing operational
efficiencies to sustain profitability and deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.
6. Poly Propylene granules, Poly Propylene (LDPE) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) of different grades is
our primary raw material constituting a significant percentage of our Company’s total expenses. The business is
susceptible to adverse impacts from fluctuations in crude oil prices affecting polymer costs, and risks associated
with foreign exchange movements during polymer imports. Additionally, increases in raw material prices, supply
shortages, and cost overruns pose potential adverse effects on our operations. Increases in the prices of raw
materials, their availability, quality and cost overruns could have adverse effect on us.
Polymer, including polypropylene and polyethylene, serves as the primary raw material for manufacturing our
polymer-based molded products and constitutes a significant portion of our Company's total expenses. These raw
materials, derived from crude oil, are subject to substantial price fluctuations in the crude oil market affecting
polymer costs, and risks associated with foreign exchange movements during polymer imports. Similarly, in the
production of FIBC bags, HDPE/PP granules and fabric, as crude-based products, exhibit high price volatility. The
cost of these raw materials constitutes a substantial part of our operating expenses, with prices influenced by
international market forces and vulnerable to unforeseen fluctuations, shortages, cost overruns, delays, or quality
defects. To mitigate potential interruptions in the supply chain, our Company strategically maintains stock levels
aligned with order positions. Details of cost of Polymer including polypropylene and polyethylene Raw material as
compared to total cost of raw materials are as follows:
(₹ in lakhs, except for percentages)

our results of operations, impact our cash flows and cause our financial results to fluctuate” on Pages 36 of this
Red Herring Prospectus.

7. Heavy reliance on short-term raw material contracts, coupled with exposure to price fluctuations and lack of
hedging policies, poses a significant threat. Our Company is further subject to uncertainties in the supply of raw
materials and there is no assurance that our suppliers will continue to sell raw materials to us as per our
requirements. This could impact the business and financial performance of our Company.
We are engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) i.e.
large flexible bags and other industrial packaging products such as woven sacks, woven fabric and narrow fabric,
tapes in the Indian domestic market and overseas. We manufacture FIBC, Woven Sacs, Woven Fabrics & Narrow
fabric, Tape etc. products which are manufactured using plastics. Our Company currently sources most of our key
raw materials from international as well as domestic vendors. We usually do not enter into long-term supply
contracts with any of our raw material suppliers and typically source raw materials under contracts of shorter periods.
As we continue to grow our product portfolio and increase our production capacities, we would need to procure
additional volumes of raw materials. We are thus exposed to fluctuations in availability and prices of our raw
materials, including on account of exchange rate fluctuations, and we may not be able to effectively pass on any
increase in cost of raw materials to our customers, which may adversely affect our margins, sales, results of
operations and cash flows. Any inability on our part to procure sufficient quantities of raw materials and on
commercially acceptable terms, could lead to a lower sales volumes and profit margins. The period between
procurement of raw materials and conversion into finished products is short and therefore the chances of any
substantial change in the price of raw material and the price of the final product are less. Further, we sell our finished
products in the market at the prevailing rates which includes any fluctuations/volatility in prices of raw materials
consumed.
Polymer and master batches are some of the raw materials used by us for manufacturing our products. The details
of contribution of our top 1, top 5 and top 10 raw material suppliers to our total purchase for the fiscal 2024, 2023
and 2022, has been set out below:

Our practice has been to place orders considering the demand-supply position which is also an industry practice.
Our Company has not entered into long-term agreements for the supply of raw materials with our suppliers. As a
result, our suppliers can terminate their relationships with us due to a change in preference or any other reason on
immediate basis, which could materially and adversely impact our business. Consequently, our revenue may be
subject to variability because of fluctuations in the supply of raw materials. Our suppliers are under no obligation to
accept our orders and may also cancel, reduce or delay orders. The orders placed by us are dependent on factors
such as demand for our Company's products, customer’s inventory management, amongst others. Our suppliers in
turn are also dependent on factors such as fluctuation in demand, supplier’s inventory management and pricing
amongst others.

Due to these delays in filings, our Company had on several occasions paid the requisite late fees. Although we
have not received any show-cause notice in respect of the above, such delay/non-compliance may in the future
render us liableto statutory penalties and could have serious consequences on our operations. While this could be
attributed to technical lapses and human errors, our Company is in the process of setting up a system to ensure
that requisite filings are done appropriately with the requisite timeline.
9. Majority portion of our domestic sales are derived from the western zone and any adverse developments in this
market could adversely affect our business.
Set forth below is certain information on our geography-wise domestic revenue from operations for the periods
indicated:
We have historically derived a major portion of our revenue from sales in the western zone. For Fiscal 2024,
Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 the revenue generated from sales in western zone represented 93.81%, 90.06% and
73.61% respectively of our revenue from domestic sales. Accordingly, any materially adverse social, political or
economic development, natural calamities, civil disruptions, regulatory developments or changes in the policies
of the state or local government in this region could adversely affect our manufacturing and distribution activities,
result in modification of our business strategy or require us to incur considerable capital expenditure, which will
in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
41
Further, our sales from this region may decline as a result of increased competition, regulatory action, pricing
pressures, fluctuations in the demand for or supply of our products or services, or the outbreak of an infectious
disease such as COVID-19. Our failure to effectively react to these situations or to successfully introduce new
products or services in these markets could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, financial
condition, and cash flows. The occurrence of, or our inability to effectively respond to, any such events or
effectively manage the competition in the region, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition, cash flows and future business prospects.
10. The volatile fluctuations in crude oil prices, particularly during events like COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine
war, can result in substantial changes in manufacturing costs and gross profit margins within the FIBC market,
ultimately impacting the company's financial position.
The primary raw materials employed in the manufacturing of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) are
Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (PE). These materials account for approximately 35-40% of the overall cost
of FIBCs and exhibit significant price volatility. Fluctuating raw material prices, especially during events like
COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war, such as the substantial fluctuations in crude oil prices, can lead to
significant changes in manufacturing costs and gross profit margins within the FIBC market, thereby affecting the
company's financial position.
Crude oil prices are influenced by various factors, including supply and demand dynamics, international
environmental policies, and geopolitical events. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-
Ukraine war, crude oil prices experienced substantial fluctuations. These fluctuations, in turn, have caused
significant changes in manufacturing costs and gross profit margins within the FIBC market.
Our Company's financial performance is highly sensitive to changes in raw material prices. Sharp increases in the
cost of PP and PE can lead to higher production expenses, which may not be fully passed on to customers, thereby
compressing profit margins. Conversely, sudden decreases in raw material prices can provide short-term financial
relief but may also result in inventory valuation losses.
Implementing effective risk management strategies, such as flexible pricing models, long-term supplier agreements,
and hedging mechanisms, is crucial to offset the financial effects of raw material price fluctuations on our Company's
operations and profitability. Despite potential influences from external factors like global commodity prices on raw
material costs. Depending on prevailing demand and supply conditions, we adjust our pricing strategies to account
for these expenses. This ensures that product quality and brand reputation are maintained, thereby limiting their
impact on our Company's profit margins and financial standing.
11. We require a number of approvals, NOCs, licences, registrations and permits in the ordinary course of our
business. Some of the approvals are required to be transferred in the name of Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro
Trading Company Limited from Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited pursuant to
name change of our company and any failure or delay in obtaining the same in a timely manner may adversely
affect our operations.
We require a number of approvals, licenses, registrations and permits in an ordinary course of our business.
Additionally, we need to apply for renewal of approvals which expire, from time to time, as and when required in
the ordinary course. Also, we were a private limited company in the name of ‘Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading
Company Private Limited’ which was carrying business of manufacturing and supply of High-Density Polyethylene
(‘HDPE’) / Polypropylene (‘PP’) woven sacks, Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (‘FIBC’), for domestic as well
as export markets. As per the Companies Act, 2013, a private limited company can be converted into public limited
company. After complying with the relevant procedure of Companies Act, 2013, the said private limited company
was converted into a public limited company in the year 2023. After conversion there was change of name of the
company from ‘Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited’ to ‘Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro
Trading Company Limited’. We shall be taking the necessary steps for transferring the approvals in the new name
of our company. In case we fail to transfer/obtain the same in name of the company same may adversely affect our
business or we may not be able to carry our business.
Our Company has already applied for change of name of these approvals. In case of delay or failure to obtain the
same, it could affect our business operations. Any failure to renew the approvals that have expired, or to apply for
and obtain the required approvals, licences, No Objection Certificate, registrations or permits, or any suspension or
revocation of any of the approvals, licences, registrations and permits that have been or may be issued to us, could
result in delaying the operations of our business, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
42
of operations and prospects. For more information, see chapter ‘Government and Other Statutory Approvals’ on
page 379 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
12. In addition to the existing indebtedness our Company or our Subsidiaries, may incur further indebtedness during
the course of business. We cannot assure that our Company or our Subsidiaries would be able to service the
existing and/ or additional indebtedness.
As on May 31, 2024, our outstanding borrowings (including fund based and non-fund-based borrowings) is
₹24,533.37 Lakhs, on a consolidated basis. One of the Objects for the Offer is to invest in our subsidiary for the
purposes net of loan repayment and working capital. Additionally, for our Company, the objectives include loan
repayment and fulfilling working capital requirements. The details of the loans identified to be repaid or prepaid
using the Net Proceeds by our Company have been disclosed in the section titled “Objects of the Offer” on page
108 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
The table below summaries debt to equity ratio and debt service coverage ratio in our Restated Consolidated
Financial Statements for the financial years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:
Particulars For the Financial Year For the Financial Year For the Financial Year
ended March 31, 2024 ended March 31, 2023 ended March 31, 2022
In addition to the indebtedness for the existing operations, of our Company or our Subsidiaries, may incur further
indebtedness during the course of their business. Our Company may take additional loans for various strategic and
operational reasons, including expanding operations, meeting working capital requirements, refinancing existing
debt, funding capital expenditures, pursuing strategic acquisitions, and covering unforeseen contingencies. These
actions support growth and operational efficiency, but increased borrowings can impact our debt-equity ratio and
borrowing costs. We aim to balance our financing needs with prudent financial management to ensure long-term
sustainability and growth. We cannot assure you that our Company or our Subsidiaries will be able to obtain further
loans at favourable terms. Increased borrowings, if any, may adversely affect our debt-equity ratio and our ability
to borrow at competitive rates. In addition, we cannot assure you that the budgeting of our working capital
requirements for a particular year will be accurate. There may be situations where we may under-budget our working
capital requirements, which may lead to delays in arranging additional working capital requirements, loss of
reputation, levy of liquidated damages and can cause an adverse effect on our cash flows.
Any failure to service the indebtedness of our Company or our Subsidiary or otherwise perform our obligations
under our financing agreements entered with our lenders or which may be entered into by our Company or our
Subsidiary, could trigger cross default provisions, penalties, acceleration of repayment of amounts due under such
facilities which may cause an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
13. While our Company will receive proceeds from the Fresh Issue, it will not receive any proceeds from the Offer
for Sale portion.
In addition to the Fresh Issue from which our Company will receive proceeds, this Offer includes an Offer for Sale
of upto 56,90,000 Equity Shares of face value of ₹10 each by the Selling Shareholder. The entire proceeds from the
Offer for Sale (after deducting applicable Offer expenses) will be paid to the individual Selling Shareholder and our
Company will not receive any proceeds from such Offer for Sale. For further details, see “Capital Structure” and
“Objects of the Offer” on pages 92 and 108, respectively.
14. We have not received a few requirements with respect to persons forming part of our Promoter Group.
Our Company is required to disclose names and details of certain immediate relatives of the Promoter and the entities
in which aforesaid relatives were associated, as ‘Members of the Promoter Group’ in terms of Regulation 2(1) (pp)
of the SEBI ICDR Regulations read with Schedule VI of SEBI ICDR Regulations in the Red Herring
Prospectus pursuant to proposed Offer. Our Company has issued letters dated December 16, 2023 to relatives of our
Individual promoter, Binod Agarwal asking for details of entity(ies) in which they severally or jointly may have an
interest. Our Company has sent a letter to each relative demanding their confirmations and undertakings. However,
43
we have not received a reply from Bijay Kumar Khairati Agarwala who is part of promoter group. Pursuant to that
our Company had made an exemption application dated June 29, 2024 to SEBI for relaxation in terms of Regulation
300(1)(c) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations from disclosing Mr. Bijay Kumar Khairati Agarwala and his Connected
Entities as a member of the Promoter Group of our Company in the Offer Documents in accordance with SEBI
ICDR Regulations. Pursuant to SEBI vide Letter SEBI/HO/CFD/RAC-DIL2/P/OW/2024/22720/1 dated July 10,
2024, SEBI has rejected the Exemption Application on the grounds that apart from the existence of family dispute
there is no other ground for seeking exemption and the same does not qualify for exemption under Regulation 300
of the SEBI ICDR Regulations. SEBI has further directed to classify and disclose Mr. Bijay Kumar Khairati
Agarwala and entities associated with him as a part of the promoter group and inform them of such inclusion. Our
Company vide letter dated July 24, 2024 informed Bijay Kumar Khairati Agarwala to classify and disclose him and
and entities associated with him as promoter group. However, we have not received any further communication
from him. Apart from Bijay Kumar Khairati Agarwala, Consent as forming part of Promoter Group has been
received from all persons/entities. Therefore, the disclosures made in this Red Herring Prospectus has been made
available by our Promoter in relation to Promoter Group and Group Companies. However, these disclosures may be
incomplete on account of non-availability of confirmations and undertaking from above mentioned relative of the
Promoter and entities associated with them. Anyone placing reliance on information disclosed by us in relation to
relevant persons and entities associated with them in this Red Herring Prospectus would be doing so at their own
risk.
15. Our business operations are working capital oriented. Our inability to obtain and / or maintain sufficient cash
flow, credit facilities and other sources of funding in a timely manner to meet our requirements of working capital
or payment of our debts, could adversely affect our operations.
Our business requires significant amount of working capital. We require working capital for purchasing key raw
materials which are procured from domestic and international suppliers. Our working capital requirements are met
through a combination of internal accruals, bank borrowings, and other financial instruments. Internal accruals
consist of the retained earnings generated from our operations. For additional working capital needs, we rely on
bank borrowings, including cash credit facilities, term loans, and other short-term financing options. We may also
use trade credit from suppliers and advances from customers to manage our working capital efficiently. These
sources ensure we have sufficient liquidity to support our operational needs, maintain inventory levels, and meet
our financial obligations. Though, presently we have sanctioned working capital limits from the existing lenders and
one of the Objects of the Offer is to meet our future working capital requirements, we may need additional debt in
the future to satisfy our working capital needs. The working capital requirement for last three Financial Years i.e.
2024, 2023 and 2022 was ₹14,697.82 lakhs, ₹9,550.64 lakhs and ₹7,742.51 lakhs respectively and the working
capital turnover ratio for the last three Financial Years i.e. 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
(₹ in lakhs except for percentages)
Particulars Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2022
Sales 53,966.08 47,543.33 44,418.05

*Working capital turnover ratio = Revenues from Operations / Gross Working Capital (total current assets (other than cash
and cash equivalents) less total current liabilities)
We maintain relationships with banks and non-banking financial institutions to enhance financing flexibility. Our
credit profile often allows us to secure financing on favorable terms. However, we cannot guarantee that our
relationships with lenders will remain unchanged, or that lenders will continue their current lending practices.
Lenders may introduce new credit policies, implement new pre-qualification criteria, increase interest rates, or
impose restrictive covenants in loan agreements. Any of these changes could significantly raise our financing costs
or hinder our ability to secure financing altogether. Consequently, our manufacturing processes may face significant
delays and cost overruns, and our business, financial condition, and operational results may be materially and
adversely affected. For further details on provisions made for bad debts, see the “Restated Consolidated Financial
Statements” beginning on page 255 of this Red Herring Prospectus. All of these factors may result in an increase in
the amount of our receivables and short-term borrowings and the continued increase in working capital requirements
may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
16. Our business depends on our manufacturing facilities in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. The manufacturing
facilities are susceptible to operational risks and failure to timely redress the issues could adversely affect our
business or results of operations.
Our Company and our Subsidiaries have manufacturing facilities situated at Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. The said
44
manufacturing facilities are susceptible to various operational risks, including accidents, human error, power loss,
equipment breakdowns, performance inefficiencies, obsolescence, loss of external contractor services, difficulties
with production costs and yields, security breaches, severe weather conditions, labor disputes, natural disasters and
compliance with government directives. These risks may result in personal injury, property damage, and legal
penalties. Any delays or shutdowns in production due to disputes with the workforce or external factors would
significantly affect our operations and financial performance.
Except a criminal case bearing no. RCT 1666/2020 CNR NO.MP11010056732020 was initiated by Factory
Inspector before the Hon’ble Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Dhar against Binod Kumar Agarwal & Ranjan
Kumar Mahapatra the directors of the company. The offence under Act 7A, 2(C), 92 Factories Act 1948 & 73(E)
MP Factories rules 1962. It is alleged that accused have not availed security equipments in the factory premises,
in this regard the first-time warrant was received on April 25, 2024. The next hearing date is on October 15, 2024.
However, the outcome of the above case will not have any material impact on our Company’s business.
Additionally, our manufacturing activities involve machinery use, posing hazards that could disrupt operations,
impact production schedules, increase costs, and hinder sales. The reliance on plant and machinery necessitates
regular maintenance checks and technical support to address breakdowns promptly. Failure to address technical
issues swiftly could lead to downtime, affecting our business, financial condition, and operational efficiency. The
disruptions in manufacturing operations due to accidents, equipment failures, natural disasters, power outages,
labor disputes, or other reasons may result in an inability to meet customer demand, increased costs, and the need
for substantial capital expenditures for recovery efforts or legal defense. These factors pose challenges to our
profitability, financial stability, and long-term viability. Moreover, some of our products are permitted to be
manufactured at only such facility which has received specific approvals, and any shutdown of such facility will
result in us being unable to manufacture a product for the duration of such shutdown.
Despite implementing safety procedures and maintaining insurance coverage, there remains a risk of accidents,
including equipment failures, work accidents, fires, explosions, or environmental damage. Litigation resulting from
such incidents could incur significant costs and negative publicity, further impacting our business, financial
condition, and prospects.
Although we have not experienced any strikes or labor unrest in the past, we cannot assure you that we will not
experience disruptions in work in the future due to disputes or other problems with our work force. Any
labor unrest directed against us, could directly or indirectly prevent or hinder our normal operating activities,
and, if not resolved in a timely manner, could lead to disruptions in our operations, which in turn could adversely
affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
17. Under-utilization of our manufacturing capacities and an inability to effectively utilize our expanded
manufacturing capacities could have an adverse effect on our business, future prospects and future financial
performance.
In our industry, the success of capacity expansion and expected return on investment on capital expenditure relies
on factors such as obtaining regulatory approvals promptly, recruiting and managing personnel effectively to
support business growth, and managing additional infrastructure costs while developing new expertise. Our ability
to maintain profitability relies on optimizing the product mix to support products with consistent long-term
demand, while also ensuring a balance between the demand and supply of our products in both principal and target
markets. The level of our capacity utilization can impact our operating results, as it is also influenced by our
product and the demand and supply balance. The Capacity and capacity utilization of our two manufacturing units
for the Financial Years 2024, 2023, and 2022 is as follows:
UNIT III (Operated by our Subsidiary Company i.e. Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Limited): Plot No. AP

The utilization of entire capacity of Unit III by the subsidiary of the Company was impeded by ongoing expansion
efforts within the unit. However, the installation of new machinery is nearing completion, and we anticipate
achieving full capacity utilization by the fiscal year 2024-25. In the interim, we are optimizing capacity utilization
in Unit V of our subsidiary to align with current orders for its products. Furthermore, proactive steps have been
taken to venture into new markets for our products, aiming to establish a significant order backlog to fully leverage
the installed capacity. For further details, see “Our Business–Capacity and Capacity Utilization” on page 179.
18. We have entered into lease agreement for our registered office, Corporate Office and manufacturing facility,
if we could not comply with certain conditions of the lease which may adversely affect our business operations.
We do not own the land on which our Corporate Office, registered office and manufacturing facility, are located.
The manufacturing facility situated at Plot No-192, Sector-1, Pithampur, Dhar - 454 775, Madhya Pradesh, India
(UNIT-I) and Plot No-640, Sector-3, Pithampur, Dhar - 454 775, Madhya Pradesh, India (UNIT-II) is taken on
lease from M.P. Audyogik Kendra Vikas Nigam (Indore) Limited, Indore, which is valid for a period of 99 years
till April 16, 2101 and from M.P. Audyogik Kendra Vikas Nigam (Indore) Limited, Indore which is valid for a
period of 30 years till August 27, 2040. No conflict of interest exists for manufacturing facilities not taken on
lease from the state government. However, there is a conflict of interest for our Corporate office situated at E-34,
H.I.G, Ravi Shankar Nagar, Near LIG Square, Indore - 452 010, Madhya Pradesh, India taken on rent from Mr.
Anant Agarwal, who is a part of the Promoter Group, for period of 11 months from 1 st March 2024 to 31st January
2025.
The rent paid for the Corporate office, Registered office & Unit I and manufacturing facilities (Unit II) in the
last three years are as under:
If we do not comply with certain conditions of the lease, the lessor may terminate the lease, which could have an
adverse effect on our operations and there can be no assurance that renewal of lease agreement with the owner will
be entered into. In the event of non-renewal of lease, we may be required to shift our registered office/manufacturing
facility to a new location and there can be no assurance that the arrangement we enter into in respect of new premises
would be on such terms and conditions as the present one.

19. Our industry is labour intensive, and our business operations may be materially adversely affected by strikes,
work stoppages or increased wage demands by our employees.
We believe that the plastic industry faces competitive pressures in recruiting and retaining skilled and unskilled
labour. Our industry, being labour intensive, is highly dependent on labour force for carrying out its manufacturing
operations. A shortage of skilled/unskilled personnel or work stoppages caused by disagreements with employees
could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our Company has taken efforts to maintain
a lower attrition among the laborers by facilitating themwith various in-house facilities and benefits to our
employees. We have not experienced disruptions in our business operations due to disputes or other problems with
our work force in the past, there can be no assurance that we will not experience such disruptions in the future. Such
disruptions may adversely affect our business and results of operations and may also divert the management's
attention and resultin increased costs.
India's labor laws are stringent, safeguarding workers' interests through detailed procedures for union establishment,
dispute resolution, employee termination, and imposing financial obligations on employers during retrenchment.
Additionally, regulations govern various aspects of employee relations, including minimum wage, maximum
working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and termination procedures, and work permits. Although our
employees are presently not unionized, there is no guarantee against future unionization. If our employees do
unionize, it could complicate our ability to maintain flexible labor policies and expose us to risks such as labor
unrest, work stoppages, and management distraction due to union involvement. Such outcomes could significantly
and adversely impact our business, operational results, and financial condition.
Details number of skilled and unskilled labour and attrition in the past 3 years is as follows:
20. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may harm our results of operations,
impact our cash flows and cause our financial results to fluctuate.
Our Company exports products to various countries including the USA, Germany, Sweden, the UK, Spain, France,
Australia, Canada, Lithuania, Singapore, etc., with a significant portion being FIBC bags customized to bulk orders.
The period between procuring orders and payment realization during export typically spans 4 to 6 months, during
which currency fluctuations may occur. These fluctuations, depending upon demand and supply of particular
currency and influenced by economic and political factors, are unpredictable and impact the exchange rates against
the Indian Rupee.
Furthermore, the prices of key raw materials, such as Polypropylene, are dictated by international markets and
quoted in foreign currencies, further exposing us to exchange rate risks. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between
the Indian Rupee and these foreign currencies, notably the USD, have historically affected our operations and cash
flows.
For instance, a strengthening Indian Rupee tends to negatively impact overseas sales and revenues, as foreign
currency receipts translate into fewer Indian Rupees. However, the positive effects of Rupee depreciation may not
be consistently reflected in our financial results due to other concurrent business variables.
We may, therefore, suffer losses on account of foreign currency fluctuations for sale of our products to our
international customers, since we may be able to revise the prices, for foreign currency fluctuations, only on a
periodic basis and may not be able to pass on all losses on account of foreign currency fluctuations to our customers.
Our Company offsets this risk of foreign fluctuation by way hedging and entering into foreign exchange contracts.
Details of the contribution of Exports as compared to % of revenue from operations and Cost of raw material imports
as compared to % of total cost of raw materials are as follows:

Our countries for Imports are Singapore, China, Turkey, Vietnam and Spain from where we procure our
requirement of imported raw materials. When importing polymers, our Company uses hedging strategies,
specifically forward exchange contracts, to mitigate the financial risks associated with currency fluctuations.
These hedging tactics are designed to secure stable and predictable costs by locking in exchange rates. However,
the profits derived from these activities, known as hedging profits, are not always guaranteed.
The effectiveness of our hedging strategies can be influenced by factors such as market conditions, exchange rate
volatility, and the timing of our contracts. As a result, there may be instances where hedging does not fully protect
us from losses and may even result in a decrease in profitability, or in some cases, actual hedging losses instead
of gains.
Therefore, while we strive to optimize our hedging strategies to maximize hedging profits and minimize financial
risk, the uncertainties inherent in the foreign exchange markets make the exact impact on our operational
results, including the extent of hedging profit or loss, unpredictable. Investors should be aware of these limitations
and the potential variability in our financial performance due to these factors.
21. Our Business is highly concentrated on the sale of bulk packaging products, particularly FIBC, exposes the
company to vulnerability, as any downturn or disruption in this segment could significantly impact overall
financial performance and stability.
We are a packaging solutions provider and engaged in the business of manufacturing business of manufacturing and
supply of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC) Jumbo Bag types, UN Certified bags container liner bags,
bags made from recycled PP (Post Industrial Recyclate), specialized PP woven bags, and BOPP printed small bags,
catering to a diverse range of customer needs required by industries like including construction, agriculture,
industrial products, chemicals, fertilizers, cement, mining, animal feed, processed food, and more.

As part of our business strategy, we continue to focus on enhancing our position in the industry. Our business growth
prospects and financial performance are largely contingent on our ability to acquire new customers and maintain
relationships with existing clients for the sale of our diverse range of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC)
Jumbo Bag types. These include Type D bags (static dissipative), Type C bags (conductive), UN Certified bags for
hazardous goods transportation, food-grade and superior category bags, form-stable bags, sift-proof bags, multi-
layer liner bags, hard-walled/self-standing bags, anti-rodent bags, flame-retardant bags, drum bags, thermal
insulated bags, patented Aeropolymesh bags, and asbestos bags. Additionally, we produce container liner bags, bags
48
made from recycled PP (Post Industrial Recyclate), specialized PP woven bags, and BOPP printed small bags to
cater to diverse customer needs.
However, there can be no assurance that we will successfully procure new customers or retain existing ones. If we
fail to do so, particularly due to changes in demand, our business and financial condition could be significantly and
adversely impacted
22. A significant portion of our revenues are dependent on our exports to our international customers. Our Company
generates major portion of sales from our operations in certain countries especially USA, Germany, Sweden, UK,
Spain, France, Australia, Canada, Lithuania and Singapore. Any failure to fulfil the requirements of our
international customers may adversely affect our revenues, result of operations and cash flows.
Our Company generates major portion of our sales from our customers situated overseas majorly, USA, Germany,
Sweden, United Kingdom, Spain, France, Australia, Canada, Lithuania and Singapore. Our Company has generated
₹ 26,465.87 lakhs, ₹ 30,487.89 lakhs and ₹ 37,506.67 lakhs in export revenue comprises 49.04%, 64.13% and
84.44% of our net revenue from operations from export in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 respectively.
Geographical concentration of our business in these countries heightens our exposure to adverse developments
related to competition, as well as economic and demographic changes in these countries which may adversely affect
our business prospects, financial conditions and results of operations. One significant concern lies in our
susceptibility to regional economic conditions and fluctuations. Economic downturns, geopolitical events, or
regulatory changes within concentrated geographical areas can profoundly impact consumer purchasing power,
market demand, and our ability to sustain or expand sales. The countries to which we export our products, including
European markets, are experiencing escalating inflationary pressures and economic contractions. Our inability to
diversify into other markets may negatively impact our business prospects, financial condition, and operational
results.
Although our Company has initiated efforts to strengthen our customer base in countries such as Lithuania,
Denmark, Netherlands, and France, we are yet to fully expand our operations in these regions. Such external
influences may result in revenue declines, posing challenges to our financial stability and profitability. While our
management believes that the Company has requisite expertise to mark its presence in other markets going forward,
investors should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks, losses and challenges that we may face
and should not rely on our results of operations for any prior periods as an indication of our future performance.

23. Our historical revenues have been largely dependent on few Customers and our inability to maintain such
business may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our Company continues to derive a material portion of our revenues from our top 5 (five) clients by revenue
generated for Fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022 (“Top 5 Clients”). If any or all of our Top 5 (five) Clients were to
suffer a deterioration of their business, cease doing business with us or reduce their dealings with us, our revenues
could decline, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition. The details of top 1, top 5 and Top 10 customers and their revenue contribution for past three
years of our Company are as follows:

Our Company depends on a limited number of customers for a large portion of our revenues. During the Fiscal
2024, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, we have added Six (6), Eight (8), and Seven (7) export customers, respectively.
Further, we had long term relationships with our top 5 and top 10 customers spanning more than 15 (Fifteen) years
each. Our business from customers is dependent on our continuing relationship with such customers, the quality
of our products and our ability to deliver on their orders, and there can be no assurance that such customers will
continue to do business with us in the future on commercially acceptable terms or at all. While we have cultivated
valued relationships with certain of our customers in the normal course of business, there can be no assurance that
our customers in the past or our newly acquired customers will continue to place similar orders with us in the
future. The loss of one or more of these important customers or a major decrease in business from any such key
customer, whether due to circumstances specific to such customer or adverse market conditions affecting the
industry in which our customer operates or the economic environment, may materially and adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition. If our customers choose not to continue purchasing
products from us or reduce their order volumes, it may adversely affect our business prospects, operational results,
and financial condition. Significant dependence on these customers may heighten the potential volatility of our
operational results and expose us to risks associated with individual contracts. There have been no such instances
in the last three years.
In the event that any of these customers discontinue purchase of products from us, our results of operations and
financial condition may be adversely affected. Our reliance on a select group of customers may also constrain our
ability to negotiate our arrangements, which may have an impact on our profit margins and financial performance.
The deterioration of the financial condition or business prospects of these customers could reduce their
requirement of our products and result in a significant decrease in the revenues we derive from these customers.
The loss of one or more of our major customers or a reduction in the amount of business we obtain from them
could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
.
24. Our Company faces potential adverse impacts on business, financial condition, and operational results, firstly,
due to the failure to uphold product quality standards and keep pace with technological advancements,
secondly, defects in products may lead to liabilities, adverse publicity, and substantial costs, thereby diminishing
the brand value and potentially reducing sales through negative associations.
We manufacture and market products namely, FIBC i.e. technical bags, container liners, food grade bags, platen
bags and builder bags etc. Our operational results and financial condition are largely dependent upon the demand
for our products in the Indian and other international markets. Demand for our products depends primarily on
consumer-related factors such as demographics, customer preferences, lifestyle preferences and macroeconomic
factors such as the condition of the economy and the level of consumer confidence. Failure to uphold quality
standards can impact our business. While we have implemented rigorous quality control procedures, we cannot
guarantee that our products will consistently meet our customer's quality standards. Additionally, any product
failure or defect may lead to claims for damages, irrespective of our responsibility for such occurrences. There
have been no instances in last three (3) years of goods being returned on account of failure to maintain quality
50
standards. Any negative publicity regarding our Company, or products, including those arising from any
deterioration in quality of our products from our vendors, mishaps resulting from the use of our products, or any
other unforeseen events could adversely affect our reputation, our operations and our results from operations.
Also, rapid change in our customer’s expectation on account of changes in technology or introduction of new
products or for any other reason and failure on our part to meet their expectation could adversely affect our
business, result of operations and financial condition. While, we believe that we have always expanded our
capacities and/or introduced new products based on latest technology to cater to the growing demand of our
customers and also endeavor regularly update our existing technology and acquire or develop new technologies
on a continuous basis, our failure to anticipate or to respond adequately to changing technical, market demands
and/or client requirements could adversely affect ourbusiness and financial results. If any of our products do not
meet regulatory standards or are defective, we may be, inter alia, (i) responsible for damages relating to any
defective products, (ii) required to replace, recall or redesign such products or (iii) incur significant costs to defend
any such claims. There is no assurance that our products will always meet the satisfaction of our customers’
quality standards. Our failure to comply with applicable regulations could cause adverse consequences to be
imposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, the refusal of regulatory authorities to grant approvals
or renewal, delays, suspensions or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of products,
operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, all of which could harm our business. There can be no assurance
that if we need to engage new suppliers to satisfy our business requirement, we will be able to locate new suppliers
in compliance with regulatory requirements in a timely manner, or at all. Failure to do so could lead to the
cancellation of existing and future orders and have a material adverse effect on our business and revenue.
25. Our Company has provided corporate guarantees in relation to facilities availed by the Subsidiaries.
As on March 31, 2024, our Company has provided corporate guarantees of Rs. 9,352.03Lakhs on behalf of the
Subsidiaries that are repayable on demand to the relevant lender. The bank guarantees extended by our Company
as security for borrowings availed by our Subsidiaries are as stated below:

Any such unexpected demand or accelerated repayment may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash

our cash flows. For further details of the corporate guarantee provided by our Company, please refer the chapter
titled “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” beginning on page 255 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
26. Some of our Group Companies have incurred losses in the previous Fiscals.
Past financial losses by our Group Companies, namely Ever Bags Packaging Private Limited and Foamnet Private
Limited, may adversely impact our standing with external stakeholders such as customers, bankers, and suppliers.
This could potentially erode our credibility and hinder smooth business operations. The historical financial data
indicates that our Group Companies have experienced losses in previous fiscal years, as outlined below:
(₹ in lakhs)

27. The shortage or non-availability of power facilities may adversely affect our manufacturing processes and have
an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our manufacturing processes require a substantial amount of power facilities. The following tables set forth below
our power expenses in the years/ periods indicated:

Expenses
The magnitude and characteristics of power needs in our industry and our Company cannot be supplemented or
augmented by alternative or independent power sources. This is due to significant capital expenditure and high
per unit electricity production costs, influenced by oil prices and other constraints. Over the past three years, there
have been no significant instances of power failures. We primarily rely on the State Government to fulfill our
electricity requirements. Any defaults or non-compliance with the conditions of our agreement may result in
termination or changes to the agreement terms, potentially increasing costs and impacting profitability.
Furthermore, since we depend heavily on third-party power supply, external factors may impact the availability
of power.
Any disruption / non availability of power shall directly affect our production which in turn shall have an impact
on profitability and turnover of our Company.
28. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future.
Our Company has entered into various transactions with our Promoter, Promoter Group, Directors and their
Relatives and Group Companies. All our related party transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis
and in compliance with applicable provisions of Companies Act, 2013 all other applicable laws, we cannot assure
you that we may not have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated
parties. There can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or taken together, will not have an adverse
effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition, including because of potential
conflicts of interest or otherwise. In addition, our business and growth prospects may decline if we cannot benefit
from our relationships with them in the future.
For details on the transactions entered by us, please refer to chapter ‘Summary of related party transactions’ and
‘Related Party Transactions’ beginning on Page 23 and Page 341 of the Red Herring Prospectus respectively.

29. Our Promoter has extended personal guarantee in connection with some of our debt facilities to our company.
There can be no assurance that such personal guarantee will be continued to be provided by our Promoters in
future or can be called at any time, affecting the financial arrangements.
We have taken guarantees from Promoter in relation to our secured debt facilities availed from our Bankers.
Our Promoter, Binod Kumar Agarwal has provided personal guarantees to secure our existing borrowings
which are continuing and are in force as on the date of Red Herring Prospectus. As on the May 31, 2024,

In an event any of these persons withdraw or terminate its/their guarantees, the lender for such facilities may ask
for alternate guarantees, repayment of amounts outstanding under such facilities, or even terminate such facilities.
We may not be successful in procuring guarantees satisfactory to the lender and as a result may need to repay
53
outstanding amounts under such facilities or seek additional sources of capital, which could adversely affect
our financial condition.
For more information, please see the chapter titled ‘Financial Indebtedness’ beginning on page 358 of this Red
Herring Prospectus. Accordingly, our business, the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and
prospects may be adversely affected by the revocation of all or any of the personal guarantees provided by our
Promoter in connection with our Company’s borrowings.
30. Our Company primarily manufactures plastic products such as FIBC Jumbo bags, woven sacks, woven fabric,
and narrow fabric and we may not be able to produce bags using alternative materials to plastic.
Polymers, including polypropylene and polyethylene, serve as the primary raw materials for manufacturing
polymer-based molded products such as ours. Although, our Company primarily manufactures plastic products
such as FIBC Jumbo bags, woven sacks, woven fabric, and narrow fabric, we prioritize the reuse and recycling of
plastic to mitigate carbon emissions.
While plastic has long been favored for its versatility and cost-effectiveness in bag production, its environmental
impact is increasingly scrutinized. The heightened awareness towards controlling pollution has led many
economies, including India, to join efforts to ban plastic products. In the event that plastic is completely banned
manufactured in India or in any of the markets where we export our products, it could have a material and adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.
The production of bags without the use of plastic presents a significant industry challenge due to current
technological limitations and material constraints. Viable alternatives to plastic for bag production are limited,
and our Company may not be able to produce bags using alternative materials. Developing and commercializing
alternative materials and technologies are complex processes, influenced by factors such as technological
feasibility, regulatory approvals, cost-effectiveness, and market acceptance. Despite our ongoing efforts, there is
uncertainty about whether suitable alternatives will be available within a foreseeable time frame.
31. Our lenders have charge over our movable and immovable properties in respect of finance availed by us.
We have secured our lenders by creating a charge over our movable and immovable properties inrespect
of loans / facilities availed by us from banks and financial institutions. The total amounts outstanding and payable
by us as secured loans were ₹ 24,158.37 Lakhs on consolidated basis as on May 31, 2024.
In the event we default in repayment of the loans / facilities availed by us and any interest thereof, necessary legal
procedures maybe initiated by lenders, which in turn could have significant adverse effect on business, financial
condition or results of operations. One of the Objects for the Issue is to invest in our subsidiary for the purposes
of loan repayment and working capital. Additionally, for our Company, the objectives include loan repayment
and fulfilling working capital requirements. The details of the loans identified to be repaid or prepaid using the
Net Proceeds by our Company have been disclosed in the section titled “Objects of the Offer” on page 108 of
this Red Herring Prospectus.
For further information on the ‘ Financial Indebtedness’ please refer to page 358 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
32. We do not allocate funds towards research and development and have a dedicated research and development
team working on finding alternatives to plastic for our products, which negatively impacts our business
operations.
We have our in-house research and development activities and have employed people exclusively for providing
customer solution for their needs and customization requirement. However, currently, we have not allocated funds
towards research and development, specifically aimed at exploring alternatives to plastic for our products. With
our research and development team we hold one granted patent and have two pending patents, demonstrating our
commitment to innovation. The lack of allocated funds specifically for research and development aimed at finding
alternatives to plastic for our products could have several negative financial and business impacts. This gap may
hinder our ability to innovate and keep pace with market trends towards sustainable and eco-friendly products,
potentially resulting to a loss of market share to competitors who offer such alternatives.
Any failure to invest in this area could result in missed opportunities for cost savings and operational efficiencies
that could arise from using alternative materials. Moreover, it could limit our ability to attract and retain
54
environmentally conscious customers, affecting our sales and revenue growth.
Without focused investment in this critical area, our business may encounter increased regulatory risks and
potential penalties as environmental regulations tighten, which could adversely affect our financial performance
and reputation.
33. Any increase in interest rates would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and will expose our
Company to interest rate risks.
We are dependent upon the availability of equity, cash balances and debt financing to fund our operations and
growth. Our secured debt has been availed at floating rates of interest. Any fluctuations in interest rates may
directly impact the interest costs of such loans and, in particular, any increase in interest rates could adversely
affect our results of operations. Furthermore, our indebtedness means that a material portion of our expected cash
flow may be required to be dedicated to the payment of interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds
available to us for use in our general business operations. One of the Objects for the Issue is repayment or
prepayment of certain secured loans availed by our Company Subsidiaries for which part of Net Proceeds will be
utilized by our Company. The details of the loans identified to be repaid or prepaid using the Net Proceeds by our
Company have been disclosed in the section titled “Objects of the Offer” on page 108 of this Red Herring
Prospectus.
If interest rates increase, our interest payments will increase and our ability to obtain additional debt and non-
fund based facilities could be adversely affected with a concurrent adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. For further details, please refer chapter titled ‘Financial Indebtedness’
beginning on page 358 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
34. Our lenders have imposed certain restrictive conditions on us under our financing arrangements. Under our
financing arrangements, we are required to obtain the prior, written lender consent for, among other matters,
changes in our capital structure, formulate a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction and entering into any
other borrowing arrangement. Further, we are required to maintain certain financial ratios.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with these financial or other covenants or that we will
be able to obtain the consents necessary to take the actions we believe are necessary to operate and grow our
business. Our level of existing debt and any new debt that we incur in the future has important consequences.
Any failure to comply with these requirements or other conditions or covenants under our financing agreements
that is not waived by our lenders or is not otherwise cured by us, may require us to repay the borrowing in whole
or part and may include other related costs.
Our Company may be forced to sell some or all of its assets or limit our operations. This may adversely affect
our ability to conduct our business and impair our future growth plans. For further information, see the chapter
titled ‘Financial Indebtedness’ on page 358 of the Red Herring Prospectus. Though these covenants are restrictive
to some extent for us, however it ensures financial discipline, which would help us in the long run to improve our
financial performance.
35. Any downgrade of our debt ratings could adversely affect our business.
Currently, our borrowings facilities availed from the bank are rated by a credit rating agency. We have received
the following credit rating in respect of our credit rating facilities during last three fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022:
These ratings assess our overall financial capacity to pay our obligations and are reflective of our ability to meet
financial commitments as they become due. Though the credit rating have not been downgraded in the past three
financial years, there can be no assurance that these ratings will not be revised or changed by the above rating
agencies due to various factors, including on account of the COVID-19 pandemic.
55
Any downgrade in our credit ratings may increase interest rates for refinancing our outstanding debt, which would
increase our financing costs, and adversely affect our future issuances of debt and our ability to raise new capital
on a competitive basis.
36. Failure to comply with export obligation may expose us to significant import duties and other penalties.
Our company is authorised to import HDPE/PP granules, under the Advance Licensing scheme of the Government
of India. These granules are essential for manufacturing finished goods, which are subsequently exported.
According to customs regulations, exports must be completed within 18 months from the issuance date of the
Advance License, with a possible 6-month extension. Failure to meet export obligations within this timeframe
may necessitate payment of import duties along with interest for the delay and other penalties. Additionally, we
may be subject to penalties under the Customs Act, 1962. Notably, there have been no instances of non-
compliance with export obligations in the past.
As of June 30, 2024, our total outstanding export obligation under the EPCG Schemes and the Advance License
Schemes amounts to ₹ 171 Lakhs and 491.29 MT (metric ton) respectively. Failure to fulfill these obligations
may lead to import duty along with interest and/or penalty. Considering our consistent and ample export orders,
our Company foresees no risk in meeting these obligations, as ensuring compliance with export requirements is
a continual process.
37. Any material shortage or supply interruption may lead to increased production costs, impacting the company's
ability to pass on costs to customers and adversely affecting its business
Any material shortage or interruption in the domestic and international supply or decrease in the quality of raw
materials due to natural causes or other factors could result in increased production costs that our Company which
we may not be able to pass on to customers, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our Company’s
business. There have been no such instances occurred in the last three years.
38. Our Company may be subject to anti dumping duties, which may adversely impact our financial condition.
We export our products to countries where anti-dumping duties may be imposed on our exports. This could
necessitate additional duties or hinder future exports to these countries, potentially adverse impact on our financial
conditions. Nonetheless, there have been no such occurrences in the past three years.
39. There exists a potential conflict of interest between our Company and our Group Companies/subsidiaries which
may adversely affect our business.
The main objects of our group companies and subsidiaries align closely with those of our Company. While they
operate in similar business areas, each subsidiary also focuses on distinct verticals. Our Company and its
subsidiaries, Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Limited (STBFL), Jagannath Plastics Private Limited (JPPL), and
Honourable Packaging Private Limited (HPPL), are engaged in related business activities.
However, in the event that either of these companies engage in any business similar to that of our Company in the
future, there would arise a potential conflict of interest between our Company and these entities. Further, we have
not entered into any non-compete agreement with any of these entities.
There can be no assurance that our Promoter or our Group Companies or members of the Promoter Group will
not compete with our existing business or any future business that we may undertake or that their interests will
not conflict with ours. Any such present and future conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our reputation,
business, results of operations and financial condition which may adversely affect our profitability and results of
operations.
For details of our business, see “Our Corporate Structure” in the Chapter “Our Business” at page 179 of this
Red Herring Prospectus.
40. As the securities of our Subsidiary i.e. Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Limited is listed on SME Platform of
National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE EMERGE), our Subsidiary is subject to certain obligations
and reporting requirements under the SEBI Listing Regulations. Any non-compliances/delay in complying with
such obligations and reporting requirements may render us liable to prosecution and/or penalties.
The Equity Shares of our Subsidiary i.e. Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Limited are listed on NSE on Emerge
56
Platform, therefore we are subject to the obligations and reporting requirements prescribed under the SEBI Listing
Regulations. There have been no instances in the past wherein, our Subsidiary has failed to comply with the
requirements of the SEBI Listing Regulations in a timely manner.
Our Subsidiary endeavours to comply with all such obligations/reporting requirements, there may be non-
disclosures/delayed/erroneous disclosures and/or any other violations which might have been committed by us,
and the same may result into Stock Exchanges and/or SEBI imposing penalties, issuing warnings and show cause
notices against us and/or taking actions as provided under the SEBI Act and Rules and Regulations made there
under and applicable SEBI Circulars. Any such adverse regulatory action or development could affect our
business reputation, divert management attention, and result in a material adverse effect on our business prospects
and financial performance and on the trading price of the Equity Shares
41. There are certain outstanding legal proceedings involving our Company, Subsidiaries, Group Companies,
Directors and Promoters. Any adverse decisions in these proceedings could impact our reputation, business
and financial condition.
As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, there are certain outstanding legal proceedings involving our
Company, Subsidiaries, Group Companies, Directors and Promoters. These proceedings are pending at different
levels of adjudication before various courts and regulatory authorities. Such proceedings could divert
management time and attention and consume financial resources in their defence. Furthermore, an adverse
judgment in some of these proceedings could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results
of operations and future cash flows
Also, there is no assurance that in future, our Company, Subsidiaries, Group Companies, Directors and Promoters
may not face legal proceedings; For further details in relation to legal proceedings involving our Company,
Promoter, Directors, Group Companies and Subsidiaries see the chapter titled ‘Summary of Offer Document-
Summary table of outstanding litigations’ and ‘Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments’ on page 27
and page 374 respectively of this Red Herring Prospectus.

We may be required to devote management and financial resources in the defense or prosecution of such legal
proceedings. Further, there is no assurance that in future, we, our Promoter, Directors, Group Companies and/or
Subsidiaries may not face legal proceedings. Should any new developments arise, including a change in Indian
law or rulings against us by the appellate courts or tribunals, we may face losses and have to make further
provisions in our financial statements, which could increase our expenses and our liabilities. There can be no
assurance that the provisions we have made for litigation will be sufficient or that further litigation will not be
brought against us in the future. Decisions in such proceedings adverse to our interests may have a material
adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, delay in
settlement of statutory dues, vendor payments and employee settlement cases may also have an adverse impact
on us.
In the event significant claims are determined against us and we are required to pay all or a portion of the disputed
amounts, there could be a material adverse effect on our business and profitability. We cannot provide any
assurance that these matters will be decided in our favour. Furthermore, we may not be able to quantify all the
claims in which we are involved. Failure to successfully defend these or other claims or if our current provisions
prove to be inadequate, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Even if we are
successful in defending such cases, we will be subjected to legal and other costs relating to defending such
litigation, and such costs could be substantial. In addition, we cannot assure that similar proceedings will not be
initiated in the future. This could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of
operation. For further details, see the section entitled ‘Summary of Offer Document-Summary of contingent
liabilities’ and ‘Restated Consolidated Financial Statements’ on page 26 and page 255 of this Red Herring
Prospectus respectively.
42. We have certain contingent liabilities that have not been provided for in our Company’s financials which, if
materialized, could adversely affect our financial condition.
In the event any such contingencies mentioned above were to materialize or if our contingent liabilities were to
increase in the future, our financial condition could be adversely affected. For further details,see the section
entitled ‘Summary of Offer Document-Summary of contingent liabilities’ and ‘Restated Consolidated Financial
Statements’ on page 26 and page 255 of this Red Herring Prospectus respectively.
43. Compliance with, and changes in, safety, health and environmental laws and regulations may adversely affect
our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Due to the nature of our business, we expect to be or continue to be subject to extensive and increasingly stringent
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and various labour, workplace and related laws and
regulations. We are also subject to environmental laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
59
The scope and extent of new environmental regulations, including their effect on our operations, cannot be
predicted and hence the costs and management time required to comply with these requirements could be
significant. Amendments to such statutes may impose additional provisions to be followed by our Company and
accordingly the Company needs to incur clean-up and remediation costs, as well as damages, payment of fines or
other penalties, closure of production facilities for non-compliance, other liabilities and related litigation, could
adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
44. The introduction of alternative packaging materials caused by changes in technology or consumer
preferences may affect demand for our existing products which may adversely affect our financial results and
business prospects.
Our products are primarily used by companies requiring packaging materials for construction, agriculture,
chemical, and infrastructure industries. Our business is influenced by changes in technology, consumer
preferences, brand perception, convenience, safety, and environmental norms. Continuous modernization and
technological upgrades are necessary to deliver improved products. While we endeavor to maintain up-to-date
technology standards, we may need to adopt new technology or upgrade existing systems. However, the costs
associated with technology upgrades could significantly impact our finances and operations. Our ability to
anticipate and adapt to such changes, introducing new and improved products promptly, is crucial for our growth
and business prospects. There is no guarantee that we will keep pace with necessary technological advancements
to remain competitive. Moreover, significant shifts in consumer preferences can impact our customers' businesses
and, consequently, the demand for our products. Failing to predict or meet evolving demands in packaging
businesses and consumer preferences may adversely affect our business, profitability, and growth prospects. The
demand for PP/HDPE woven sacks/bags is on the rise due to their affordability, easy availability of raw materials,
transportation convenience, and strength. They have largely replaced traditional jute packing methods. PP/HDPE
is cost-effective, readily available, lightweight, and flexible, making it ideal for customized product development.
45. Our inability to obtain, renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to
operate our business may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We will be required to obtain, maintain and renew permits and approvals in relation to our existing operations
and obtain new permits and approvals for any proposed operations as may be required under the applicable laws
of the sector or region that we are operating in. There can be no assurance that relevant authorities will renew or
issue any of such permits or approvals in the time-frame anticipated by us or at all. Our failure to renew, maintain
or obtain the required permits or approvals may result in the interruption of our operations and may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Compliance with many of the
regulations applicable to our operations may involve incurring significant costs and otherwise may impose
restrictions on our operations.
We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to any adverse regulatory action in the future. If the interpretation
of the regulators and authorities varies from our interpretation, we may be subject to penalties and the business
of our Company could be adversely affected. If we fail to obtain or retain any of these approvals or licenses, or
renewals thereof, in a timely manner, or at all, our business may be adversely affected. If we fail to comply, or a
regulator claims we have not complied, with any of the terms and conditions stipulated under any of our licenses
or permits, one or several of our licenses and certificates may be suspended or cancelled and we shall not be able
to carry on the activities permitted thereunder. For further information, see “Government and Other Approvals”
on page 379.
46. Operating within fragmented industry segments exposes us to competition from a diverse array of players,
both domestic and international, ranging from large corporations to smaller entities. The dynamic nature of
our business landscape means that we contend with a multitude of competitors, each vying for market share,
which may significantly impact our business operations and financial conditions.
Our Company operates in a market characterized by competition from both large, organized firms and smaller
regional competitors. While factors such as product quality, brand reputation, timely delivery, and customer
network influence customer decisions among competitors, price and quality are significant considerations.
Among similarly sized and product-diverse listed companies in India, we face competition from Kanpur
Plastipack Ltd., Rishi Techtex Ltd., Jumbo Bag Ltd., EMMBI Industries Ltd., and Commercial Syn. Bags Ltd.
Organized industry players compete by offering high-quality, consistent, and timely products, supplemented by
value-added services.
60
However, competitors may offer goods and services that we do not provide, allocate more resources to marketing
and promotional campaigns, and innovate more efficiently. New technologies may increase competitive pressures
by enabling competitors to offer more efficient or lower-cost services or offer products directly to consumers,
potentially impacting our ability to adapt quickly. If we are unable to change our offerings to reflect the changing
demands of offline and online sellers and marketplaces, or compete effectively with and adapt to such changes,
our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Furthermore, the competitive landscape of our product market, both domestically and internationally, comprises
organized and unorganized players. Participants in this industry typically compete on key attributes such as
technical proficiency, product quality, distribution network, pricing, and timely delivery. Some competitors may
boast longer industry experience and possess greater financial, technical, and other resources, enabling them to
react more swiftly to changing market conditions and maintain competitiveness. Competitive pricing from the
unorganized sector may influence our sales volume and growth prospects. Intense competition presents a risk of
diminishing market share and potentially affecting our margins, thereby impacting our business operations and
financial condition.
Low cost producing countries such as China along with a number of small, medium and large enterprises within
India have been giving a high degree of competition to the Company, however the continued growth of the
Company especially in the overseas market is testament to the competitiveness of the Company.
The industry and markets for our products are characterized by factors such as the development of new products,
and evolving industry standards. We primarily compete based on the following:
47. Orders placed by customers may be delayed, modified, cancelled or not fully paid for by our customers, which
may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may encounter problems in executing the orders in relation to our products or executing it on a timely basis.
Moreover, factors beyond our control or the control of our customers may postpone the delivery of such products
or cause its cancellation. Due to the possibility of cancellations or changes in scope and schedule of delivery of
such products, resulting from our customers discretion or problems, we encounter in the delivery of such
products or reasons outside our control or the control of our customers, we cannot predict with certainty when, if
or to what extent we may be able to deliver the orders placed. Additionally, delays in the delivery of such products
can lead to customers delaying or refusing to pay the amount, in part or full, that we expect to be paid in respect
of such products. In addition, even where a delivery proceeds as scheduled, it is possible that the customers may
default or otherwise fail to pay amounts owed. While we have not yet experienced any material delay,
cancellation, execution difficulty, payment postponement or payment default with regard to the orders placed
with us, or disputes with customers in respect of any of the foregoing, any such adverse event in the future could
materially harm our cash flow position and income. In the ordinary course of business, we extend credit to our
customers. Our results of operations and profitability depend on the creditworthiness of our customers. Certain
of these customers may have weak credit histories and we cannot be assured that these counterparties will always
be able to pay us in a timely fashion, or at all. Any adverse change in the financial condition of our customers
may adversely affect their ability to make payments to us. Default or delays in payments by a significant portion
of our customers may have an adverse effect on cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
61
48. We may not be able to derive the desired benefits from our product development efforts. Commercialization
and market development of our product particularly our new variants of FIBC products may take longer time
than expected and / or may involve unforeseen business risks.
While our existing customer base shall act as our captive demand pool for the new product variant,
commercialization and market development for such products may take longer time than expected and / or may
involve unforeseen business risks which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop the products or that such products will
receive market acceptance or adapt our manufacturing processes to incorporate new technologies or address
changing consumer trends or emerging industry standards. Any rapid change in the expectations of our customers
in our business on account of changes in technology or introduction of new alternate products could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, there can be no assurance that our newly
developed products will achieve commercial success. Even if such products can be successfully commercialized,
there is no guarantee that they will be accepted widely by the market. In addition, we cannot assure you that our
existing or potential competitors will not develop products which are similar or superior to our products. It is
often difficult to project the time frame for developing new products and the duration of market demand for these
products, there is a substantial risk that we may have to abandon a potential product that is no longer commercially
viable, even after we have invested resources in the research and development of such product. The success of
new products depends on the effectiveness of the product design, quality of the raw materials and quality control
systems. Any adverse change in the quality of products marketed and sold by us including due to reasons beyond
our control, or allegations of defects, even when false, at any of our manufacturing facilities could tarnish the
image of our brands, result in negative reviews and feedback from our customers. We plan to enhance and develop
and strengthen relationships with existing customers who may drive volume orders on an ongoing basis, however
there can be no assurance that we will be able to execute these strategies on time and within our estimated budget,
or that our development plans for the particular will increase our profitability. Any of these factors could adversely
impact our results of operations for our products.
49. Our Sales are on credit basis and hence receivables may be converted into bad debts due to change in
economic conditions or our client’s inability to pay.
Our sales are on a credit basis and hence receivables may be converted into bad debts due to changes in economic
conditions or our client’s inability to pay. Our revenue model is on account of exports to overseas clients.
Generally, our sales are on a credit basis. Any changes in general economic conditions or client’s inability to
pay may hamper our receivables and could in turn have an adverse effect on our sales.
Furthermore, any downturn in general or local economic conditions in the markets in which weoperate
may affect our credit terms, thereby affecting our sales. It would also adversely affect the collection of outstanding
credit accounts receivable, the net bad debt charge and hence income. For bad debts of recent years, please
refer to the chapter titled ‘Restated Consolidated Financial Statements’ at page 255.
Details of bad debt expense and a % of bad debt to total credit sales is as follows:
(₹ in lakhs except for percentages)
Particulars Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2022
Bad Debts 2.81 - 17.47
Total Turnover 53,966.08 47,543.33 44,418.05
Ratio 0.01% 0.00% 0.04%
50. Failure or disruption to our Information Technology and/or business resource planning systems may
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We have implemented various information technology (“IT”) and/or business resource planning systems to cover
key areas of our operations. We are dependent on technology in relation to customer order management and
dispatches, financial accounting and scheduling raw material purchase and shipments. We rely on our IT
infrastructure to provide us with connectivity and data backup across our locations and functions. While the
business resource planning systems that we have implemented have enabled us to improve our working capital
cycles, despite an increase in our sales over the period, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so
in the future.
We believe that we have deployed adequate IT disaster management systems including data backup and retrieval
mechanisms, at our manufacturing facilities and registered office. While there have been no disruptions in the
62
operation of these systems in the past, we cannot assure you that such disruptions in the operation of these systems
will not occur in the future.
However, any failure or disruption in the operation of these systems or the loss of data due to such failure or
disruption (including due to human error or sabotage) may affect our ability to plan, track, record and analyze
work in progress and sales, process financial information, manage our creditors, debtors and hedging positions,
or otherwise conduct our normal business operations, which may increase our costs and otherwise adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
51. We appoint contract labour for carrying out certain of our operations and we may be held responsible for paying
the wages of such workers, if the independent contractors through whom such workers are hired default on
their obligations, and such obligations could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition.
We engage independent contractors through whom we engage contract labourers for performance of certain
functions at our manufacturing facility for the performance of non-core tasks. Although we do not engage these
labourers directly, we are responsible for any wage and statutory payments to be made to such labourers in the
event of default by such independent contractors. Any requirement to fund their wage requirements may have an
adverse impact on our results of operations and our financial conditions. In addition, we may be liable for or
exposed to litigations, sanctions, penalties or losses arising from accidents or damages caused by our workers or
contractors.
Details of number of Independent Contractors and Contract Labourers during past 3 years are as under:
52. We depend on certain brand names and our corporate name and logo that we may not be able to protect and/or
maintain. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information, or if we
inadvertently infringe the intellectual property rights of others, our business, financial condition, cash flows
and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our ability to market and sell our products depends upon the recognition of our brand names and associated
consumer goodwill. Currently, we do not have registered trademarks for our own nor our corporate name and
logo under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Consequently, we do not enjoy the statutory protections accorded to
registered trademarks in India for the corporate name and logo of our company, which are currently pending. In
the absence of such registrations, competitors and other companies may challenge the validity or scope of our
intellectual property right over these brands or our corporate name or logo. As a result, we may be required to
invest significant resources in developing new brands or names, which could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We also rely on certain patents and designs to protect our proprietary intellectual property. As on the date of this
Red Herring Prospectus we have two (2) patents granted by the Patent Office, Government of India. Our existing
and future patents may be insufficient to provide us with meaningful protection or a commercial advantage.
Further, we cannot assure you that, patents granted to us in our name or in the future will not be challenged or
circumvented by competitors or that such patents will be found to be valid or sufficiently broad to protect our
proprietary products or provide us with any competitive advantage. Any inability to protect or renew our
intellectual properties or other existing proprietary information could adversely affect our business.
The material approvals, licences or permits required for our business include trade licences, tax laws, and
environment laws, as applicable. See ‘Government and other Statutory Approvals’ on page 379 of this Red
Herring Prospectus for further details on the required material approvals for the operation of our business.
53. Our revenues are highly dependent on clients concentrated in the packaging of products and manufacturing
sector. An economic slowdown or factors affecting this segment may have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Our revenues are highly dependent on clients concentrated in the sector. This sector plays a pivotal role in our
overall business strategy, and any economic slowdown or unforeseen factors influencing this segment could
63
potentially have a significant and adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The concentration of our clients in this particular sector exposes us to specific risks associated with the dynamics
and challenges inherent to that industry. Economic fluctuations, regulatory changes, technological disruptions, or
other unforeseen events within this sector can directly affect the demand for our products or services. As a result,
our financial performance may be susceptible to the cyclical nature of the industry, making us vulnerable to
downturns and fluctuations in the market conditions specific to that sector.
54. Our Company is dependent on third party transportation providers for the delivery of our goods and any
disruption in their operations or a decrease in the quality of their services could affect our Company's
reputation and results of operations.
Our Company uses third-party transportation providers for delivery of our goods. Though our business has not
experienced any disruptions due to transportation strikes in the past, any future transportation strikes may have
an adverse effect on our business. In addition goods may be lost or damaged in transit for various reasons
including occurrence of accidents or natural disasters. There may also be delay in delivery of products which may
also affect our business and results of operation negatively. An increasein the freight costs or unavailability of
freight for transportation of our raw materials may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Further, disruptions of transportation services due to weather-related problems, strikes, lock-outs, inadequacies
in the road infrastructure, or other events could impair ability to procure raw materials on time. Any such
disruptions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Company has obtained insurance coverage in respect of certain risks. These policies insure our assets against
standard fire, industrial risks, burglary and additionally avail fidelity guarantee insurance and money insurance.
Our business entails handling of huge inventory, huge line of production and high value machineries. It is
imperative in our business that adequate insurance coverage is taken. The details of net assets value covered as
compared to total Assets and insurance claimed vis a vis insurance cover in the past three Fiscals 2024, 2023,
2022 for other than Marine Insurance is as follows:

While we maintain that our insurance coverage is appropriate for the scope of our business operations, it should
be noted that our insurance policies may not comprehensively cover all potential risks. No assurance can be given
regarding the sufficiency of our insurance policies to fully compensate us for losses for which coverage has been
procured.
The details of insurance claimed vis a vis insurance cover in the past three Fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022 for Marine
Insurance is as follows:
(₹ in lakhs)

In the event of significant losses not covered by insurance, denial of insurance claims pertaining to insured risks,
or if losses incurred exceed the limits of our insurance coverage, there exists the potential for material adverse
effects on our business, financial condition, and operational results.
For further details, please refer chapter titled ‘Our Business’ beginning on page 179 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
64
56. Our Company has unsecured loans which are repayable on demand. Any demand loan from lenders for
repayment of such unsecured loans, may adversely affect our cash flows.
As on March 31, 2024, our Company has unsecured loans amounting to ₹ 375 lakhs from related and other parties
that are repayable on demand to the relevant lender. Further, some of these loans are not repayable in accordance
with any agreed repayment schedule and may be recalled by the relevant lenderat any time. Any such unexpected
demand or accelerated repayment may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows and financial
condition of the borrower against which repayment is sought. Any demand from lenders for repayment of such
unsecured loans, may adversely affect our cash flows. For further details of unsecured loans of our Company,
please refer the chapter titled “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” beginning on page 255 of this Red
Herring Prospectus.
57. We have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for the Objects of the Offer.
Further we have not identified any alternate source of financing the “Objects of the Offer”. Any shortfall in
raising / meeting the same could adversely affect our growth plans, operations, and financial performance.
As on date, we have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for the objects of
the offer. We meet our capital requirements through our bank finance, owned funds and internal accruals. Any
shortfall in our net owned funds, internal accruals and our inability to raise debt in future would result in us
being unable to meet our capital requirements, which in turn will negatively affect our financial condition and the
results of operations.
Further we have not identified any alternate source of funding and hence any failure or delay on our part to raise
money from this offer or any shortfall in the offer proceeds may delay the implementation schedule and could
adversely affect our growth plans. For further details please refer to the chapter titled ‘Objects of the Offer’
beginning on page 108 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
58. Our ability to pay dividends and issuance of bonus shares in the future will depend upon our future earnings,
financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditure and restrictive covenants in
our financing arrangements.
We may retain all our future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of our business. As a result,
we may not declare dividends and/or issue bonus shares in the foreseeable future. Our Company had a surplus in
the general reserves (free reserves) of Rs. 4,243.36 lakhs and securities premium of Rs. 3,058.47 lakhs in the
books of accounts as on March 31, 2023, which was adequate for the issuance of bonus shares and our Company
has capitalised a sum of Rs. 5,790 lakhs out of its surplus in securities premium account i.e. Rs.3058.47 lakhs and
general reserve account i.e. 2,731.53 as on August 18, 2023 to issue 5,79,00,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each
under a Bonus Issue in the ratio of 50 Equity Shares for every 1 Equity Share. After the issuance, the remaining
general reserves and securities premium balances were Rs. 1,511.83 lakhs and Rs. NIL lakhs, respectively, as
recorded in the books of accounts. It is important to disclose the extent of usage of our reserves post bonus
issuance, which depends on our future earnings. Before the issuance, reserves were adequate to support the
distribution, but post-issuance, our reserves have significantly decreased. This reduction may impact our ability
to fund future bonuses, dividends, or other financial commitments. Consequently, any unforeseen financial
setbacks or reduced profitability could further strain our reserves, thereby affecting our capacity to declare and
pay bonuses in the future. Additionally, regulatory constraints may impose further limitations on our ability to
utilize reserves for such distributions.
Further, any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends and/or issue bonus shares will
be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will dependon factors that our Board of Directors deem relevant,
including among others, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, business prospects and
any other financing arrangements. Additionally, under some of our loan agreements, we may not be permitted
todeclare any dividends, if there is a default under such loan agreements or unless our Company has paid all the
dues to the lender up to the date on which the dividend is declared or paid or has made satisfactory provisions
thereof. Accordingly, realization of a gain on shareholders’ investments may largely depend upon the appreciation
of the price of our Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that our Equity Shares will appreciate in value. As
on date, our Company does not have a formal dividend policy and we cannot assure that we may have a formal
dividend policy in future. For details of our dividend history, see ‘Dividend Policy’ on page 254 of this Red
Herring Prospectus. For details of our dividend and/or issue bonus shares history, see ‘Dividend Policy’ and
“Capital Structure - Share Capital History of our Company” on page 254 and page 92 respectively of this Red
Herring Prospectus.
65
59. Our Company's management has been given discretion in deploying the proceeds from the Offer. The absence
of a bank or financial institution's appraisal for the fund requirement and deployment, coupled with the
potential for changes in assumptions, market conditions, or the company's strategy, poses uncertainty
regarding the effective utilization of the funds, exposing investors to the risk of idle funds or a variance in the
stated objects of the Offer without shareholder authorization.
Within the parameters as mentioned in the chapter titled, ‘Objects of the Offer’ beginning on page 108 of this Red
Herring Prospectus, our Company’s management will have flexibility in applying the proceeds of this Offer. The
fund requirement and deployment mentioned in the “Objects of this Offer” have not been appraised by any bank
or financial institution.
We intend to use entire Offer Proceeds towards (i) Repayment and/or prepayment, in part or full, of certain of our
outstanding borrowings availed by our Company; (ii) Investment in our subsidiaries HPPL, STBFL and JPPL for
Repayment and/or prepayment, in part or full, of certain of outstanding borrowings availed; (iii) Funding the
incremental working capital requirements of our Company; (iv) Investment in our subsidiaries HPPL, STBFL
and JPPL for funding working capital requirements of our Company and (v) General Corporate purposes. We
intend to deploy the Net Issue Proceeds in fiscal 2025 and such deployment is based on certain assumptions and
strategy which our Company believes to implement in future. The funds raised from the Offer may remain idle
on account of change in assumptions, market conditions, strategy of our Company, etc., For further details on the
use of the Offer Proceeds, please refer chapter titled ‘Objects of the Offer’ beginning on page 108 of this Red
Herring Prospectus. The deployment of funds for the purposes described above is at the discretion of our
Company’s Board of Directors. The fund requirement and deployment are based on internal management
estimates and has not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. Accordingly, within the parameters as
mentioned in the chapter titled ‘Objects of the Offer’ beginning on page 108 of this Red Herring Prospectus, the
Management will have significant flexibility in applying the proceeds received by our Company from the Offer.
Our Board of Directors will monitor the proceeds of this Offer. However, the Audit Committee will monitor the
utilization of the proceeds of this Offer and prepare the statement for utilization of the proceeds of this Offer.
However, in accordance with Section 27 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company shall not vary the objects of the
Offer without our Company being authorized to do so by our shareholders by way of special resolution and other
compliances in this regard. Our Promoter and controlling shareholder shall provide exit opportunity to such
shareholders who do not agree to the proposal to vary the objects, at such price, and in such manner, as may be
prescribed by SEBI, in this regard.
60. Our future funds requirements, in the form of issue of capital or securities and/or loans taken by us, may be
prejudicial to the interest of the shareholders depending upon the terms on which they are eventually raised.
We may require additional capital from time to time depending on our business needs. Any issue of shares or
convertible securities would dilute the shareholding of the existing shareholders and such issuance may be done
on terms and conditions, which may not be favourable to the then existing shareholders. If such funds are raised
in the form of loans or debt, then it may substantially increase our interest burden and decrease our cash flows,
thus prejudicially affecting our profitability and ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
61. Our success depends largely upon the services of our Directors, Promoter and other Key Managerial Personnel
and our ability to attract and retain them. Demand for Key Managerial Personnel in the industry is intense and
our inability to attract and retain Key Managerial Personnel may affect the operations of our Company.
Our success is dependent on the expertise and services of our Directors, Promoter and our Key Managerial
Personnel. They provide expertise which enables us to make well informed decisionsin relation to our business
and our future prospects. Our future performance will depend upon the continued services of these persons.
Demand for Key Managerial Personnel in the industry is intense. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
retain any or all, or that our succession planning will help to replace, the key members of our management. The
loss of the services of such key members of our management team and the failure of any succession plans to
replace such key members could have an adverse effect on our business and the results of our operations.
62. In addition to normal remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses, some of our Promoter,
Directors and key managerial personnel are interested in our Company to the extent of their shareholding and
dividend entitlement in our Company.
Our Promoter Directors and Key Managerial Personnel are interested in our Company to the extent of
remuneration paid to them for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses payable to them. In addition,
some of our Promoter, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel may also be interested to the extent of their
66
shareholding and dividend entitlement in our Company. For further information, see ‘Capital Structure’, ‘Our
Management’ and ‘Our Promoter and Promoter Group’ on pages 92, 231 and 249, respectively, of this Red
Herring Prospectus.
63. Our primary business activity involves the manufacturing of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC)
bags, a sector characterized by low entry barriers, intense competition, fluctuating raw material prices, labor-
intensive processes and regulatory risks that could impact our operations.
Our primary business activity involves the manufacturing of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) bags,
in an industry characterized by low entry barriers, intense competition, and product homogeneity. This
environment results in pricing pressures and requires continuous innovation, cost efficiency, and stringent quality
control. Additionally, the industry faces various constraints and limitations in its ability to serve such as fluctuating
raw material prices, high labour costs, supply chain instability, and a labour-intensive manufacturing process for
stitching, extrusion and weaving etc. Our operations are also subject to regulatory risks, including changes in
government policies, environmental regulations, trade tariffs, and industry-specific mandates, which require
proactive compliance and strategic adaptability as there exists the potential for material adverse effects on our
business, financial condition, and operational results.
64. Our Promoter will continue jointly to retain majority control over our Company after the Offer, which will
allow them to determine the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval. This leads to
concentrated promoter ownership and control.
After completion of the Offer, our Promoter will own substantial Equity Shares. As a result, our Promoter will be
able to exercise a significant degree of influence over us and will be able to control the outcome of any proposal
that can be approved by a majority shareholder vote, including, the election of members to our Board, in
accordance with the Companies Act and our Articles of Association. Such a concentration of ownership may also
have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our Company.
In addition, our Promoter will continue to have the ability to cause us to take actions that are not in, or may
conflict with, our interests or the interests of some or all of our creditors or minority shareholders, and we cannot
assure you that such actions will not have an adverse effect on our future financial performance or the price of
our Equity Shares.
65. We are susceptible to volatility of prices of our products, including due to competitive products.
Prices of our products are subject to fluctuation, depending on, among other factors, the number of producers and
their production volumes and changes in demand in the markets we serve. Volatility in price realization and loss
of customers may adversely affect our profitability. Further, there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain
our low cost of operations or to further reduce costs or develop new cost-effective processes in the future.
The success of our business depends substantially on our ability to implement our business strategies effectively.
Even though we have successfully executed our business strategies in the past, there is no guarantee that we can
implement the same on time and within the estimated budget going forward, or that we will be able to meet the
expectations of our targeted clients. Changes in regulations applicable to us may also make it difficult to
implement our business strategies. Failure to implement our business strategies would have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.
67. We rely extensively on our systems, including quality assurance systems, products processing systems and
information technology systems, the failure of which could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of
operations and financial condition.
We depend extensively on the capacity and reliability of the quality assurance systems, product processing
systems and information technology systems to support our operations. Our systems are subject to damage or
incapacitation by natural disasters, human error, power loss, sabotage, computer viruses, hacking, acts of terrorism
and similar events or the loss of support services from third parties. There can be no assurance that we will not
encounter disruptions in the future. Any disruption in the use of, or damage to, our systems may adversely affect
our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

68. Industry information included in this Red Herring Prospectus has been derived from industry reports
commissioned by us for such purpose. There can be no assurance that such third-party statistical, financial
and other industry information is either complete or accurate.
Pursuant to being engaged by us for the purpose of this Offer, we had appointed CARE Advisory Research and
Training Limited, which is not related to our Company, our Directors or our Promoter, who have prepared
a report titled, “Industry Research Report on FIBC Industry – Global Flexible Intermediate Bulk Packaging
Industry” dated July 29, 2024 (the “CARE Report”)” issued by CARE Analytics and Advisory Private Limited
(previously known as CARE Advisory Research & Training Limited) (“Care Edge Research”) appointed by
the Company which has been exclusively prepared for the purpose of the Offer and is commissioned and paid
for by the Company. The Care Edge Report is available on the website of our Company at
www.tirupatibalajee.net. Certain sections of this Red Herring Prospectus include information based on, or derived
from, the Care Edge Report or extracts of the Care Edge Report. All information in this Red Herring Prospectus
indicates the Care Edge Report as its source. Accordingly, any information in this Red Herring Prospectus derived
from, or based on, the Care Edge Report should be read taking into consideration the foregoing. Industry sources
and publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or
reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may also base their information on estimates, projections,
forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. While industry sources take due care and caution while
preparing their reports, they do not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the data. Accordingly,
investors should not place undue reliance on, or base their investment decision solely on this information. In view
of the foregoing, you may not be able to seek legal recourse for any losses resulting from undertaking any
investment in the Offer pursuant to reliance on the information in this Red Herring Prospectus based on, or derived
from, the Care Edge Report. You should consult your own advisors and undertake an independent assessment of
information in this Red Herring Prospectus based on, or derived from, the Care Edge Report before making any
investment decision regarding the Offer, for further details, see “Industry Overview” on page 147.
69. We have issued Equity Shares in the last twelve months, the price of which may be lower than the Offer Price.
Our Company has issued 77,62,852 (Seventy Seven Lakhs Sixty Two Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Two) Equity
Shares in the last twelve months at a price which may be lower than the Issue Price through Bonus Issue and
preferential issue as below:
The Offer Price is not indicative of the price that will prevail for the Equity Shares in the open market following
listing of the Equity Shares. Further, we may, in the future, continue to issue Equity Shares at prices that may be
lower than the Offer Price, subject to compliance with applicable law. Any issuance of Equity Shares by us may
dilute your shareholding in our Company, thereby adversely affecting the trading price of the Equity Shares and
our ability to raise capital through any issuance of new securities.
For further details of Equity Shares issued, please refer to chapter titled, ‘Capital Structure’ beginning on page
92 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
70. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like
Additional Surveillance Measure (“ASM”) and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock
Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have introduced various pre-emptive surveillance measures in order to enhance
68
market integrity and safeguard the interests of investors, including ASM and GSM. ASM and GSM are imposed
on securities of companies based on various objective criteria such as significant variations in price and volume,
concentration of certain client accounts as a percentage of combined trading volume, average delivery, securities
which witness abnormal price rise not commensurate with financial health and fundamentals such as earnings,
book value, fixed assets, net worth, price / earnings multiple, market capitalization etc.
Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other
factors which may result in high volatility in price, low trading volumes, and a large concentration of client
accounts as a percentage of combined trading volume of our Equity Shares. The occurrence of any of the
abovementioned factors or other circumstances may trigger any of the parameters prescribed by SEBI and the
Stock Exchanges for placing our securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other surveillance
measures, which could result in significant restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI
and the Stock Exchanges. These restrictions may include requiring higher margin requirements, requirement of
settlement on a trade for trade basis without netting off, limiting trading frequency, reduction of applicable price
band, requirement of settlement on gross basis or freezing of price on upper side of trading, as well as mentioning
of our Equity Shares on the surveillance dashboards of the Stock Exchanges. The imposition of these restrictions
and curbs on trading may have an adverse effect on market price, trading and liquidity of our Equity Shares and
on the reputation and conditions of our Company.
71. The Offer Price of our Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity Shares after the
Offer and the market price of our Equity Shares may decline below the Offer Price and you may not be able
to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
The Offer Price of our Equity Shares will be determined by book-built method. This price is be based onnumerous
factors (For further information, please refer chapter titled ‘Basis for Offer Price’ beginning on page 133 of this
Red Herring Prospectus) and may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity Shares after the Offer. The
market price of our Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations after the Offer and may decline
below the Offer Price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer
Price. Among the factors that could affect our share price include without limitation. The following:
i. Half yearly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as earnings pershare, net
income and revenues;
ii. Changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts;
iii. Speculation in the press or investment community;
iv. General market conditions; and
v. Domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to ourperformance.
72. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoter could be lower than the floor price.
Our Promoter average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares in our Company may be lower than theFloor
Price of the Price Band as may be decided by the Company in consultation with the BRLMs. For further details
regarding average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoter in our Company and build-up of Equity
Shares by our Promoter in our Company, please refer to the section titled ‘Capital Structure’ on page 92 of this
Red Herring Prospectus.
73. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law
and thereby may suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, 2013 a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders
of equity shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain
their existing ownership percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights
have been waived by adoption of a special resolution. However, if the laws of the jurisdiction the investors are
located in do not permit them to exercise their pre-emptive rights without our filing an offering document or
registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the investors will be unable to exercise
their pre-emptive rights unless we make such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new
securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell the securities for the investor’s benefit. The value the
custodian receives on the sale of such securities and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. In addition,
to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise preemptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares
held by them, their proportional interest in us would be reduced.
69
74. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be less extensive than under the laws of other
jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity
of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may
differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law
may not be as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions.
Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder
of an entity in another jurisdiction.
75. QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity
of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or
lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids during the Bid/Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until
Bid/Offer Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete Allotment pursuant to the Offer within six
Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity
Shares, including material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or
economic conditions, our business, cash flows, results of operation or financial condition may arise between the
date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares
even if such events occur, and such events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to
the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
76. The requirements of being a listed company may strain our resources.
We are not a listed company and have not, historically, been subjected to the increased scrutiny of our affairs by
shareholders, regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a listed company. As a listed
company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we did not
incur as an unlisted company. We will be subject to the SEBI Listing Regulations which will require us to file
audited annual and limited reviewed half yearly reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If
we experience any delays, we may fail to satisfy our reporting obligations and/or we may not be able to readily
determine and accordingly report any changes in our results of operations as promptly as other listed companies.
Further, as a listed company, we will need to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including keeping adequate records of daily
transactions.
In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control
over financial reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required. As a result, our
management’s attention may be diverted from our business concerns, which may adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may need to hire additional legal and
accounting staff with appropriate experience and technical accounting knowledge, but we cannot assure you that
we will be able to do so in a timely and efficient manner.
77. Our Equity Shares, having not been previously traded publicly, may undergo fluctuations in both price and
volume subsequent to the completion of the offer, there is a risk that they may not establish an active or liquid
market, contributing to potential volatility in their pricing. Further, any future issuance of Equity Shares,
convertible securities, or other equity-linked securities by the company may result in dilution of existing
shareholders' holdings and the trading price of Equity Shares may be adversely affected by sales of shares by
major shareholders.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market may not
develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market for our Equity
Shares will develop or, if developed, does not guarantee the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.
Investors might not be able to rapidly sell the Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no active trading in the
Equity Shares. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares has been determined by our Company in consultation with
the BRLMs through the Book Building Process. The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to
significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating results of our Company,
market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, volatility in securities
70
markets in jurisdictions other than India, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue
or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors.
Further, we may be required to finance our growth, whether organic or inorganic, through future equity issues.
Any future equity issuances by us, including a primary issue, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings
in us. Any future issuances of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity Shares by
us, including through exercise of employee stock options, if any, issued by us in future sales of the Equity Shares
by any of our major shareholders or the disposal of Equity Shares by our major shareholders or the perception
that such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding norms
applicable to listed companies in India may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may
lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through issuance of the Equity Shares
or incurring additional debt. There can be no assurance that we will not issue further Equity Shares or that the
shareholders will not dispose of the Equity Shares. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of your
investment in the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur
may also affect the market price of the Equity Shares. There can also be no assurance that any substantial
shareholder, including our Promoter will not dispose of, encumber, or pledge their Shares or related securities
which may also adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
78. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares
in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any gain realized in excess of 1,00,000/- on the sale of listed
equity shares on a stock exchange held for more than 12 months will be subject to long term capital gains tax in
India at the specified rates in case STT was paid on the sale transaction. Accordingly, you may be subject to
payment of long-term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”),
on the sale of any Equity Shares held for more than 12 months. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic
stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are sold. Further, any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares
held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject to short term capital gains tax in India. Capital gains arising
from the sale of the Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from
taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident. Generally,
Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries
may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Equity Shares.
79. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as US GAAP and
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), which investors may be more familiar with and
consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information comprises of the restated statement of assets and liabilities as
at March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the restated statements of profit and loss (including other
comprehensive income), the restated statement of changes in equity, the restated statement of cash flows for the
March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the summary statement of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information read together with summary statement of significant accounting policies,
annexures and notes thereto prepared in accordance with Ind AS and restated by Company in accordance with the
requirements of Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI ICDR Regulations and the
Guidance Note on Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019) issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India, each as amended.
We have not attempted to quantify the impact of US GAAP, IFRS or any other system of accounting principles
on the financial data included in this Red Herring Prospectus, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial
statements to those of US GAAP, IFRS or any other accounting principles. US GAAP and IFRS differ in
significant respects from Ind AS. Accordingly, the degree to which the Restated Consolidated Financial
Information included in this Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent
on the reader’s level of familiarity with Ind AS and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not
familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Red Herring Prospectus
should accordingly be limited.
80. Changing regulations in India could lead to new compliance requirements that are uncertain and its
implementation could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The regulatory environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change. The Government of India
71
may implement new laws or other regulations that could affect our industry, which could lead to new compliance
requirements. New compliance requirements could increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Further, the manner in which new requirements will be enforced or
interpreted can lead to uncertainty in our operations and could adversely affect our operations. If we fail to comply
with all applicable regulations or if the regulations governing our business or their implementation change
adversely, we may incur increased costs or be subject to penalties, which could disrupt our operations and
adversely affect our business and results of operations. Any adverse regulatory change in this regard could lead
to fluctuation of prices of raw materials and thereby increase our operational cost. Additionally, our loans are
subject to specific conditions imposed by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India and the
RBI. In the event of any adverse regulatory development or in the event that we are otherwise not able to secure
such loans, we may not be able to benefit from such low interest rates or the ability to fix the price within the
specified time frame at the same price at which we sell our products to our customers. Further, as GST is
implemented, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to comply with additional procedures or
obtain additional approvals and licenses from the government and other regulatory bodies or that they will not
impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations. With the implementation of GST, we are
obligated to pass on any benefits accruing to us as result of the transition to GST to the consumer thereby limiting
our benefits. In order for us to utilise input credit under GST, the entire value chain has to be GST compliant,
including us. While we are and will continue to adhere to the GST rules and regulations, there can be no assurance
that our suppliers and dealers will do so. Any such failure may result in increased cost on account of non-
compliance with the GST and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In addition, unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and
regulations, operations and group structure could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws
or may require us to apply for additional approvals. We may incur increased costs relating to compliance with
such new requirements, which may also require management time and other resources, and any failure to comply
may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects. Uncertainty in the applicability,
interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy,
including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time
consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current businesses or restrict our
ability to grow our businesses in the future.
81. Political instability or a change in economic liberalization and deregulation policies could seriously harm
business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.
The Government of India has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise influence over many aspects of the
economy. Our business and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares may be affected by interest rates,
changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other
developments in or affecting India. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and
policies affecting the information technology sector, foreign investment and other matters affecting investment
in our securities could change as well. Any significant change in such liberalization and deregulation policies
could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India, generally, and our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations, in particular.
We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions, where some of our revenue
from operations is generated. Our performance, growth and market price of our Equity Shares are and will be
dependent to a large extent on the health of the economy in which we operate. There have been periods of
slowdown in the economic growth of India. Demand for our products may be adversely affected by an economic
downturn in domestic and regional economies.
Economic growth in the countries in which we operate is affected by various factors including domestic
consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and movements in key imports,
global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility in exchange currency rates. Consequently, any future
slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, a
change in the government or a change in the economic and deregulation policies could adversely affect economic
conditions prevalent in the areas in which we operate in general and our business in particular and high rates of
inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately increasing our revenues, and as such decrease
our operating margins.
72
82. Certain sections of this Red Herring Prospectus disclose information from the industry report which has been
commissioned and paid for by us exclusively in connection with the Offer and any reliance on such
information for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risk.
While facts and other statistics in the Red Herring Prospectus relating to India, the Indian economy and the
agriculture industry has been based on various government publications and reports from government agencies.
that we believe are reliable, we cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of such materials. While we have taken
reasonable care in the reproduction of such information, industry facts and other statistics have not been prepared
or independently verified by us or any of our respective affiliates or advisors and, therefore we make no
representation as to their accuracy or completeness. All such information in this Red Herring Prospectus indicates
the Care Report dated July 29, 2024 as its source. Our Company commissioned and paid for the Care Report
exclusively for the purpose of confirming our understanding of the industry in which we operate in connection
with the Offer. Accordingly, any information in this Red Herring Prospectus derived from, or based on, the Care
Report should be read taking into consideration the foregoing. There are no standard data gathering
methodologies in the markets in which we operate, and methodologies and assumptions vary widely among
different industry sources. Furthermore, industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information
as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may
also base their information on estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect.
These facts and other statistics include the facts and statistics included in the chapter titled ‘Industry Overview’
beginning on page 147 of this Red Herring Prospectus. Due to possibly flawed or ineffective data collection
methods or discrepancies between published information and market practice and other problems, the statistics
herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics produced elsewhere and should not be unduly
relied upon. Further, there is no assurance that they are stated or compiled on the same basis or with the same
degree of accuracy, as the case may be, elsewhere.
83. Global economic, political and social conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase our costs and
negatively affect our stock price.
Global economic and political factors that are beyond our control, influence forecasts and directly affect
performance. These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies of
governments, inflation, deflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, consumer credit availability, fluctuations in
commodities markets, consumer debt levels, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer
confidence, spending, and tourism. Increasing volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change
with a greater degree of frequency and magnitude, which may negatively affect our stock prices.
84. The extent and reliability of Indian infrastructure could adversely affect our Company’s results of operations
and financial condition.
India’s physical infrastructure is in developing phase compared to that of many developed nations. Any
congestion or disruption in its port, rail and road networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other
public facility could disrupt our Company’s normal business activity. Any deterioration of India’s physical
infrastructure would harm the national economy, disrupt the transportation of goodsand supplies, and add costs
to doing business in India. These problems could interrupt our Company’s business operations, which could have
an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
85. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise financing.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies
may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms
at which such additional financing may be available. This could have an adverse effect on our business and future
financial performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of our Equity
Shares.
86. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our Company’s business
to suffer.
Natural disasters (such as typhoons, flooding and earthquakes), epidemics, pandemics such as COVID-19 and
manmade disasters, including acts of war, terrorist attacks and other events, many of which are beyond our
control, may lead to economic instability, including in India or globally, which may in turn materially and
73
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our operations may be adversely
affected by fires, natural disasters and/or severe weather, which can result in damage to our property or inventory
and generally reduce our productivity and may require us to evacuate personnel and suspend operations.
A number of countries in Asia, including India, as well as countries in other parts of the world, are susceptible to
contagious diseases and, for example, have had confirmed cases of diseases such as the highly pathogenic H7N9,
H5N1 and H1N1 strains of influenza in birds and swine and more recently, the COVID-19 virus. A worsening of
the current outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic or future outbreaks of COVID-19 virus or a similar contagious
disease could adversely affect the global economy and economic activity in the region. As a result, any present
or future outbreak of a contagious disease could have a material adverse effect on our business and the trading
price of the Equity Shares.
87. Terrorist attacks, civil unrests and other acts of violence or war involving India or other countries could
adversely affect the financial markets, our business, financial condition and the price of our Equity Shares.
Any major hostilities involving India or other acts of violence, including civil unrest or similar events that are
beyond our control, could have a material adverse effect on India’s economy and our business. Incidents such as
the terrorist attacks and other acts of violence may adversely affect the Indian stock markets where our Equity
Shares will trade as well as the global equity markets generally. Such acts could negatively impact business
sentiment as well as trade between countries, which could adversely affect our Company’s business and
profitability. Additionally, such events could have a material adverse effect on the market for securities of Indian
companies, including the Equity Shares.
88. A third-party could be prevented from acquiring control of us post this Offer, because of anti-takeover
provisions under Indian Law
As a listed Indian entity, there are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or
change in control of our Company. Under the Takeover Regulations, an acquirer has been defined as any person
who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether
individually or acting in concert with others.
Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected,
these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company subsequent to
completion of the Offer. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase
of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders, such
a takeover may not be attempted or consummated because of Takeover Regulations.
89. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us, our Directors, the BRLMs or
any of their directors and executive officers in India respectively, except by way of a lawsuit in India.
Our Company is a company incorporated under the laws of India and a majority of our Directors are located in
India. A majority of our assets, our Key Managerial Personnel and officers are also located in India. As a result,
it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons in jurisdictions
outside India, or to enforce judgments obtained against such parties outside India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that
an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if that court was of the view that the amount of damages awarded
was excessive or inconsistent with public policy, or if judgments are in breach or contrary to Indian law. In
addition, a party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from the RBI to
execute such a judgment or to repatriate outside India any amounts recovered. Recognition and enforcement of
foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 and Section 44A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
(“CPC”).
India is not party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments.
India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with only a limited
number of jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong. In order
to be enforceable, a judgment from a jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements established in
the Indian CPC. The CPC only permits the enforcement and execution of monetary decrees in the reciprocating
jurisdiction, not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of taxes, other charges, fines or penalties.
Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do not have reciprocal recognition with India, including the United
States, cannot be enforced by proceedings in execution in India. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of
money rendered by any court in a non-reciprocating territory for civil liability, whether or not predicated solely
upon the general laws of the non-reciprocating territory, would not be directly enforceable in India.
74
The party in whose favour a final foreign judgment in a non-reciprocating territory is rendered may bring a fresh
suit in a competent court in India based on the final judgment within three years of obtaining such final judgment.
However, it is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action
were brought in India or that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages
as excessive or inconsistent with the public policy in India. Further, there is no assurance that a suit brought in an
Indian court in relation to a foreign judgment will be disposed of in a timely manner.
In addition, any person seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain the prior approval of
the RBI to repatriate any amount recovered, and we cannot assure that such approval will be forthcoming within
a reasonable period of time, or at all, or that conditions of such approval would be acceptable. Such amount may
also be subject to income tax in accordance with applicable law. Our ability to raise foreign capital may be
constrained by Indian law which provides investment restrictions on foreign investors, which may adversely affect
the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions), if they comply with the valuation and reporting
requirements specified by the RBI. If a transfer of shares is not in compliance with such requirements and fall
under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI, then the RBI’s prior approval is required. Additionally,
shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and
repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian
income tax authorities. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental
agency can be obtained on any particular terms, or at all. In terms of the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules, a
person resident outside India may make investments into India, subject to certain terms and conditions, and
provided that an entity of a country, which shares land border with India or the beneficial owner of an investment
into India who is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, shall invest only with government approval.

SECTION III – INTRODUCTION
THE OFFER
The Offer of Equity Shares (1) Up to 2,04,40,000 Equity Shares aggregating up to ₹ [●]

We propose to deploy the Net Proceeds for the aforesaid purposes in accordance with the estimated schedule
of implementation and deployment of funds set forth in the table below.
(in ₹ lakhs)
Our fund requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on our internal management
estimates as per our business plan based on current circumstances of our business prevailing market conditions.
Further, such fund requirements and proposed deployment of funds have not been appraised by any bank or
financial institution or any other independent agency. We may need to revise our estimates from time to time
in light of various factors such as changes in costs, our financial condition, business and strategy or external
circumstances such as market conditions, the economic conditions, changing regulatory policies, prevailing
competitive environment, interest or exchange rate fluctuations, which may not be in our control. This may
entail rescheduling the proposed utilization of the Net Proceeds and changing the allocation of funds from our
planned allocation at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance with applicable laws. In the
event that the estimated utilization out of the Net Proceeds in a Fiscal is not met (in part or full), such unutilized
amount shall be utilized in the succeeding Fiscal(s), as determined by our Company, in accordance with
applicable law.
In case we require additional capital towards meeting the objects of the Fresh Issue, our Company may explore
arrange of options including utilising internal accruals and availing additional debt from existing and/or future
lenders. In the event our Board deems appropriate, the amount allocated for estimated schedule of deployment
of Net Proceeds in a particular fiscal may be repaid/ pre-paid in part or full by us in the subsequent fiscal in
compliance with applicable laws. We believe that such alternate arrangements would be available to fund any
such shortfalls. If the actual utilisation towards any of the objects is lower than the proposed deployment, such
balance will be used for funding future growth opportunities, and/or towards funding any of the other existing
objects (if required), and/or general corporate purposes within the permissible limit in accordance with
applicable law.
109
Our Company will invest in the subsidiary companies for Repayment and/or Pre-payment of the loan
obligations of the subsidiary companies and for funding of their working capital requirements in the form of a
debt instrument i,e. unsecured loans.
The proposed terms of the said debt to its subsidiaries shall be as follows:
Means of finance
The fund requirements set out above are proposed to be funded from the Net Proceeds. Accordingly, we
confirm that there are no requirements to make firm arrangements of finance under Regulation 7 of the SEBI
ICDR Regulations through verifiable means towards at least 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the
amount to be raised from the Fresh Issue. In case of a shortfall in the Net Proceeds or any increase in the actual
utilisation of funds earmarked for the Objects, our Company may explore a range of options including utilizing
our internal accruals.
Our Company has entered into various financing arrangements from time to time, with various lenders. We
avail majority of our fund based and non-fund based facilities in the ordinary course of business from various
banks and financial institutions. The financing arrangements availed by our Company include inter alia term
loans and working capital facilities. For further details, please refer “Financial Indebtedness” on page 358.
As on May 31, 2024, our outstanding borrowings (including fund based and non-fund based borrowings) was
₹ 24,533.37 Lakhs, on a consolidated basis. We propose to utilize an estimated amount of up to ₹ 3,145.36
Lakhs from the Net Proceeds towards prepayment or scheduled repayment of all or a portion of certain term
loans and working capital facilities availed by our Company on standalone basis.
Pursuant to the terms of the borrowing arrangements, prepayment of certain indebtedness may attract
prepayment charges as prescribed by the respective lender. Such prepayment charges, as applicable, will also
be funded out of the Net Proceeds. Given the nature of the borrowings and the terms of repayment/ prepayment,
the aggregate outstanding amounts under the borrowings may vary from time to time and our Company
may, in accordance with the relevant repayment schedule, repay or refinance some of their existing
borrowings prior to Allotment. In addition, our Company, from time to time, enter into further financing
arrangements and drawdown funds thereunder. In such cases or in case any of the borrowings listed below
are prepaid, repaid (earlier or scheduled), refinanced, in part or full, or further drawn down prior to the
completion of the Offer, or if any additional facilities are availed, we may utilize Net Proceeds towards
prepayment or repayment (earlier or scheduled) of such additional indebtedness availed by us and/ or interest
thereon, details of which shall be provided in the Red Herring Prospectus. In the event our Board deems
appropriate, the amount allocated for estimated schedule of deployment of Net Proceeds in a particular
Financial Year may be repaid/ pre-paid in part or full by our Company in the subsequent Financial Year in
compliance with applicable laws. Further, the amounts outstanding under the borrowings as well as the
sanctioned limits are dependent on several factors and may vary with the business cycle of our Company with
multiple intermediate repayments, drawdowns and enhancement of sanctioned limits.
We believe that such repayment or prepayment will help reduce our outstanding indebtedness and debt
servicing costs, improve our debt to equity ratio, and enable utilization of the internal accruals for further
investment towards business growth and expansion. In addition, we believe that this would improve our ability
to raise further resources in the future to fund potential business development opportunities. The selection of
borrowings proposed to be prepaid or repaid amongst our borrowing arrangements will be based on various
110
factors, including (i) maturity profile and the remaining tenor of the loan, (ii) cost of the borrowing, including
applicable interest rates, (iii) any conditions attached to the borrowings, restricting our ability to prepay/
repay the borrowings and time taken to fulfil, or obtain waivers for fulfilment of such conditions, or relating to
the terms of repayment, (iv) levy of any prepayment penalties and the quantum thereof, (v) provisions of any
laws, rules and regulations governing such borrowings, and (vi) other commercial considerations including,
among others, the amount of the loan outstanding. The payment of additional interest, prepayment penalty
or premium, if any, and other related costs required to be paid under the terms of the relevant financing
agreements, if any, shall be paid by us out of the internal accruals or out of the Net Proceeds as may be declared
by our Board
We believe that the pre-payment or scheduled repayment of certain borrowings will help reduce our existing
borrowings, assist us in maintaining a favourable debt-equity ratio and enable utilization of our internal accruals
for further investment in business growth and expansion.
The following table provides details of the loans and facilities as at May 31, 2024, we propose to pre-pay or
repay, either in part or full, by utilizing an estimated amount of up to ₹ 3,145.36 Lakhs from the Net Proceeds:

2. Investment in our subsidiaries HPPL, STBFL and JPPL for Repayment and/or prepayment, in part or
full, of certain of outstanding borrowings availed
Our Subsidiaries, HPPL, STBFL and JPPL have entered into various financing arrangements from time to time,
with various lenders. We avail majority of our fund based and non-fund based facilities in the ordinary course
of business from various banks and financial institutions. The financing arrangements availed by Subsidiaries
i.e. HPPL, STBFL and HPPL include inter alia term loans and working capital facilities. For further details,
please refer “Financial Indebtedness” on page 358.
As on May 31, 2024, our outstanding borrowings (including fund based and non-fund based borrowings) was
₹ 24,533.37 Lakhs, on a consolidated basis. We propose to utilize an estimated amount of up to ₹ 2,082.14
Lakhs from the Net Proceeds towards prepayment or scheduled repayment of all or a portion of certain term
loans and working capital facilities availed by our Subsidiary, HPPL, STBFL and JPPL.
Pursuant to the terms of the borrowing arrangements, prepayment of certain indebtedness may attract
prepayment charges as prescribed by the respective lender. Such prepayment charges, as applicable, will
115
also be funded out of the Net Proceeds. Given the nature of the borrowings and the terms of repayment/
prepayment, the aggregate outstanding amounts under the borrowings may vary from time to time and
our Company may, in accordance with the relevant repayment schedule, repay or refinance some of
their existing borrowings prior to Allotment. In addition, our Company and our Subsidiaries may, from
time to time, enter into further financing arrangements and drawdown funds thereunder. In such cases or in
case any of the borrowings listed below are prepaid, repaid (earlier or scheduled), refinanced, in part or
full, or further drawn down prior to the completion of the Offer, or if any additional facilities are availed, we
may utilize Net Proceeds towards prepayment or repayment (earlier or scheduled) of such additional
indebtedness availed by us and/ or interest thereon, details of which shall be provided in the Red Herring
Prospectus. In the event our Board deems appropriate, the amount allocated for estimated schedule of
deployment of Net Proceeds in a particular Financial Year may be repaid/ pre-paid in part or full by our
Company in the subsequent Financial Year in compliance with applicable laws. Further, the amounts
outstanding under the borrowings as well as the sanctioned limits are dependent on several factors and may
vary with the business cycle of our Subsidiaries with multiple intermediate repayments, drawdowns and
enhancement of sanctioned limits.
We believe that such repayment or prepayment will help reduce our outstanding indebtedness on a consolidated
basis and debt servicing costs, improve our debt to equity ratio, and enable utilization of the internal accruals
for further investment towards business growth and expansion. In addition, we believe that this would improve
our ability to raise further resources in the future to fund potential business development opportunities. The
selection of borrowings proposed to be prepaid or repaid amongst our borrowing arrangements will be
based on various factors, including (i) maturity profile and the remaining tenor of the loan, (ii) cost of the
borrowing, including applicable interest rates, (iii) any conditions attached to the borrowings, restricting
our ability to prepay/ repay the borrowings and time taken to fulfil, or obtain waivers for fulfilment of such
conditions, or relating to the terms of repayment, (iv) levy of any prepayment penalties and the quantum thereof,
(v) provisions of any laws, rules and regulations governing such borrowings, and (vi) other commercial
considerations including, among others, the amount of the loan outstanding. The payment of additional
interest, prepayment penalty or premium, if any, and other related costs required to be paid under the terms of
the relevant financing agreements, if any, shall be paid by us out of the internal accruals or out of the Net
Proceeds as may be declared by our Board
We believe that the pre-payment or scheduled repayment of certain borrowings will help reduce our existing
borrowings, assist us in maintaining a favourable debt-equity ratio and enable utilization of our internal accruals
for further investment in business growth and expansion.
The following table provides details of the loans and facilities as at May 31, 2024, we propose to pre-pay or

On the basis of our existing working capital requirements,our Board pursuant to its resolution dated July 31,
2024 has approved the working capital requirements of our Company, details of which are provided below:
124
Sr. Particulars Assumptions
No.
4 Trade payables Our trade payables have been for 19 days, 15 days and 35 days for period ended
Fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. However, going forward we estimate
to maintain payables at 18 days for Fiscal 2025 to avail best pricing and also buy
from large suppliers. There is a major variation in the trade payable period due to
various reasons. The Level of creditors depends upon the raw material
requirement. If the price of Raw Material is likely to increase or the supplier
provides some incentives upon lifting of particular quantity then we purchase bulk
quantity of raw material and accordingly, the level of trade payables increases.
Likewise, if we have liquid funds in hand then the Company purchases the material
in cash at discounted price or else make the payment of Trade Payables. In that
case, the level of Trade payable is reduced.
5 Other current Other current liabilities include provisions, statutory dues, expenses payable, etc.
liabilities However, going forward, we do not foresee any major change.
The aforementioned working capital estimates and projections have been approved by the Board through their
resolution dated July 31, 2024.
There was notable increase in working capital, primarily attributed to a substantial rise in transaction volume
and revenue generation. This surge in business activity has positively impacted our overall working capital
position. Despite this encouraging trend, it is essential to highlight that our trade receivable and inventory
holding period have remained within the same range for the period. However, the significant increase in
transaction volume has led to a discernible expansion in the working capital gap.
(i) Rise in Turnover and increase in the customer base: Year-on-year turnover has increased from Rs. 47,543.33
lakhs for FY 2022-23 to Rs. 53,966.08 lakhs for FY 2023-24, resulting in higher working capital requirements,
bank borrowings, and funds from internal accruals and equity sources. The increase signifies the company's
course of development. To meet the customer demand, we need to increase our supply and this in turn requires
an increase in our day-to day working capital requirement which is in the normal course of the Company's
growth.
(ii) Impact of Transaction Volume and Revenue Generation: Notable growth in transaction volume and revenue
generation for the fiscal year 2024 has positively influenced the overall working capital position. However, this
surge has also led to an expansion in the working capital gap.
(iii) Inventory Holding Period: The inventory holding period decreased from 235 days in March 2023 to 221
days in Fiscal 2024.
(iv) Trade Receivables: The trade receivables holding period increased from 38 days to 49 days from March
2023 to March 2024.This was influenced by customer demands for extended credit periods.
(ii) Reduction in Trade Payables and Other Liabilities: Our Company plans to reduce its trade payables and
other current liabilities in the fiscal year 2024-25. The available funds will be utilized for this purpose, aiming
to reduce dependence on market credit and lower input costs, ultimately benefiting shareholders. This strategic
move is expected to optimize the company's financial position and improve its overall stability.
The change in working capital requirement is primarily driven by fluctuations in revenue from operations,
although it is not the sole determinant. Businesses have to assess various factors including operational efficiency,
changes in payment terms, capital expenditures, and credit policies to effectively manage its working capital
needs. As of March 31, 2024, the working capital requirement stood at Rs. 35,233.40 lakhs and was projected
to be Rs. 39,711.88 lakhs as of March 31, 2025; while the working capital requirement in absolute terms has
increased compared to the year ended March 31, 2024. Despite external pressures such as the Ukraine-Russia
War and the Red Sea Crisis impacting inventory holdings, resulting in a temporary increase, the company
projected to maintain previous levels, aligning with past trends.

This estimation of revenue projections for Fiscal 2025 are based on management estimates, industry growth and
past performance of our Company.
In comparison to 31.03.2023, the working capital requirement has gone up from Rs. 26,760.99 Lakhs to Rs.
35,233.40 Lakhs as on 31.03.2024, because of the following reasons:
Due to Russia-Ukaraine war, the European Market has been badly affected. The realization of export receivables
has slowed down and therefore, the level of receivable has increased from 38 days to 49 days. The customers
demand an extended credit period. This has become the permanent feature. This has resulted in increase in the
working capital requirement.
As a consequence of the Red Sea crisis, the duration of shipments has extended, leading to delays in the delivery
of goods as vessels must navigate longer routes for safety reasons. Additionally, the scarcity of available vessels
has escalated freight expenses, prompting customers to defer receipt of goods.
a. The increase in inventory holdings from Rs. 20,146.26 lakhs as of 31st March 2023 to Rs. 25,209.85 lakhs as
of 31st March 2024 was due to pending order commitments and deferred dispatch requests from overseas
customers on account of the Ukraine-Russia War and the Red Sea Crisis, leading to an increase in inventory
holding levels on 31st March 2024. This was a temporary situation and not a regular inventory level to be
maintained. The inventory level is further projected to be Rs. 27,515.73 lakhs as of 31st March 2025, which
are at past levels, and the normal increase in holding levels is due to increased revenue from operations.
b. Trade receivables stood at Rs. 5,106.91 lakhs as of 31st March 2023 and at Rs. 9,285.47 lakhs as of 31st March
2024. The trade receivable levels were maintained as per past trends. It is further estimated to be maintained at
Rs. 9,444.07 lakhs as of 31st March 2025 due to an increase in revenue from operations. Our Company has been
exploring the possibilities of entering into new markets viz Japan and Korea Market and also focusing to expand
its market in the existing exporting countries. This would increase the revenue from the operations and
accordingly, the absolute value of projected trade receivables is taken on the higher side.
c. Trade payables have increased from Rs. 902.38 lakhs as of 31st March 2023 to Rs. 3,431.07 lakhs as of 31st
March 2024 due to additional credit period provided by suppliers. This additional credit period was availed to
meet the increased working capital requirement resulting from pending dispatches due to deferred dispatch
requests from overseas customers. However, the company have projected to maintain trade payables at reduced
levels of Rs. 940.81 lakhs as of 31st March 2025 by making payments against delivery and maintaining a lower
credit period to avail cash discounts, thereby maximizing profitability. The funds to be received from the
projected IPO would be used for liquidating the trade payables resulting in decrease in absolute value of Trade
payables. This would help us to reduce our dependability on market’s credit and also cost of the inputs benefiting
126
the shareholders at large. Lower current liabilities mean less cash tied up in short-term obligations.
In view of the above, our estimations for future working capital needs up to March 31, 2025, is estimated based
on several factors such as optimized inventory management, enhanced receivables management, improved
payables management, streamlined operations and projected growth. It reflects the company's initiatives to
enhance operational efficiency, optimize resource utilization, and maintain financial stability while planning for
future growth.
The above fund requirements and proposed deployment are based on internal management estimates, which are
subject to change in the future and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or any other
independent agency. These are based on current conditions and business needs and are subject to revision in
light of the financial condition of our business, interest rate fluctuations, business strategy or external
circumstances which may not be in our control. We may have to revise our estimated costs, funding allocation,
reschedule our proposed expenditures and fund requirements owing to factors such as financial and business
conditions, finance costs, competition and other external factors which may not be within our control. For
further details see “Risk Factors – Our business operations are working capital oriented. Our inability to
obtain and / or maintain sufficient cash flow, credit facilities and other sources of funding in a timely manner
to meet our requirements of working capital or payment of our debts, could adversely affect our operations”
on page no. 44.
Further, in case the Net Proceeds are not completely utilized in a scheduled Fiscal Year due to any reason, the
same would be utilized (in part or full) in the next Fiscal Year as may be determined by our Company, in
accordance with applicable law. Here scheduled fiscal year is Fiscal 2025 as mentioned on page no. 109 of the
RHP.
This may entail rescheduling and revising the planned expenditure and funding requirement and increasing or
decreasing the expenditure for a particular purpose from the planned expenditure at the discretion of our
management, subject to compliance with applicable law. Our historical capital and operational expenditure may
not be reflected in our future expenditure plans. Subject to applicable law, if the actual utilisation towards any
of the objects is lower than the proposed deployment such balance will be used for future growth opportunities
including general corporate purposes to the extent that the total amount to be utilized towards general corporate
purposes will not exceed 25% of the gross proceeds from the Fresh Issue in accordance with the SEBI ICDR
Regulations. In case we require additional capital towards meeting the objects of the Offer, we may explore a
range of options including utilising internal accruals and availing additional debt from existing and future
lenders. We believe that such alternate arrangements would be available to fund any such shortfalls.
4. Investment in our subsidiaries HPPL, STBFL and JPPL for funding working capital requirements
Our Company proposes to utilize Rs. 2,424.00 Lakhs from the Net Proceeds towards funding the long-term

There is a notable increase in the PAT margin as of March 31, 2024 due to decrease in raw material prices. The
raw material consumption amount reported in the financial statements includes the amount of raw material used
for producing goods that have been sold, goods that are currently in process, and goods that are in stock. As of
March 31, 2024, there has been an increase in the inventory levels compared to the inventory levels on March 31,
2023. As raw material consumption figures also include raw material consumed for goods in process and goods
in stock, the total amount of raw material consumed during the half-year ended March 31, 2024, appears higher
or at a similar level as before. However, to accurately assess the impact of the reduction in raw material prices,
we need to calculate and analyse, the total Cost of Material Consumed percentage with total revenue. The total
Cost of Material consumed percentage, when adjusted for inventory levels, provide a clearer picture of the cost
implications for reduction in raw material prices, which resulted into improvement in PAT Margins.
We are providing herewith the table reflecting impact of raw material prices reduction:

ANNEXURE I
Outlined below are the special tax benefits available to Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading
Company Limited (‘the Company’) and its Shareholders under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (herein
after referred to as ‘the Act’), as amended by the Finance Act, 2024 read with the Income-tax Rules,
1962,
A. Lower corporate tax rate under Section 115BAA of the Act to company and its subsidiary
Jagganath Packaging Private Limited and Honourable Packaging Private Limited.
A new Section 115BAA had been inserted by the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 (“the
Amendment Act, 2019”) w.e.f. FY 2019-20 granting an option to domestic companies to compute
corporate tax at a reduced rate of 25.17% (22% plus surcharge of 10% and cess of 4%), provided
such companies do not avail specified exemptions/ incentives.
The Amendment Act, 2019 further provided that domestic companies availing such option will not
be required to pay Minimum Alternate Tax (“MAT”) under Section 115JB. The CBDT had further
issued Circular 29/2019 dated October 02, 2019 clarifying that since the MAT provisions under
Section 115JB itself would not apply where a domestic company exercises option of lower tax rate
under Section 115BAA, MAT credit would not be available.
As the Company has opted for the beneficial tax rate introduced by the ordinance, they are not
eligible to avail the exemptions/ incentives as specified under Section 115BAA of the Act. Further,
the option once exercised by the Company cannot be subsequently withdrawn for the same or any
other FY.
B. Lower corporate tax rate under Section 10AA of the Act to its subsidiary Shree Tirupati Balajee
FIBC Limited:-
Under the Income Tax Act, the company’s Subsidiary Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Limited is
availing exemption under Section 10AA.
The Finance Act 2020 amended the manner of taxation of dividend income by abolishing dividend
distribution tax and restoring classical system of dividend taxation (i.e. taxation of dividend income
in the hands of the shareholders). Considering the nature of income, it is not possible for taxpayer to
accurately determine the advance tax liability on dividend income and therefore, the proviso to
section 234C(1) of the Act provides that no interest shall be levied under section 234C of the Act, if
the shortfall in payment of advance tax instalment is on account of underestimation or failure to
estimate dividend. The amendment was introduced by Finance Act 2021 and is applicable from 1
April 2021.
The Finance Act 2022 has capped the surcharge on LTCG on sale of unlisted equity shares to 15%
from erstwhile graded surcharge up to 37%, resulting in reduction in highest slab of effective LTCG
tax rate from 28.50% to 23.92%.
143
C. Long Term capital gains Tax on Listed Shares @ 12.5%
As per Section 112A of the Income tax Act, 1961 (‘the Act’), long-term capital gains arising from
transfer of an equity share, or a unit of an equity-oriented fund or a unit of a business trust shall be
taxed at 12.5% (without indexation) of such capital gains subject to fulfillment of prescribed
conditions under the Act. It is worthwhile to note that tax shall be levied where such capital gains
exceed INR 125,000.
As per section 111A of the Act, short term capital gains arising from transfer of an equity share, or
a unit of an equity oriented fund or a unit of a business trust shall be taxed at 20% subject to
fulfillment of prescribed conditions under theAct.
E. Surcharge on personal income capped at 25% for individuals opting concessional tax regime under
section 115BAC
The Finance Act 2023 has capped surcharge on total income of individual assessee’s opting for
concessional tax regime under section 115BAC to 25% (instead of earlier surcharge of 37% for
individuals having total income exceeding) Rs. 5 crores.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Global Economy
Global growth, which stood at 3.3% in CY23, is anticipated to fall to 3.2% in CY24 and then bounce back again to
3.3% in CY25. The CY24 forecast has remained same compared to the April 2024 World Economic Outlook (WEO)
Update, and increased by 0.1 percentage point compared to the January 2024 WEO. Despite this, the expansion remains
historically low, attributed to factors including sustained high borrowing costs, inflation woes, reduced fiscal support,
lingering effects of Russia’s Ukraine invasion, Iran–Israel Cold War, sluggish productivity growth, and heightened geo-
economic fragmentation.

P- Projections; Source: IMF- World Economic Outlook Database (July 2024)
The United States is expected to see growth rise to 2.6% in CY24, followed by a slight slowdown to 1.9% in CY25.
This deceleration is attributed to gradual fiscal tightening and labor market softening, which dampen aggregate demand.
The CY24 projection has been revised downward by 0.1 percentage points since the April CY24 WEO Update. This
revision primarily reflects carryover effects from stronger-than-expected growth in the fourth quarter of CY23, with
some of this momentum expected to continue into CY24.
The Euro Area's growth is anticipated to rebound from its sluggish rate of 0.5% in CY23, mainly influenced by
exposure to the conflict in Ukraine. Projections indicate an increase to 0.9% in CY24 and further to 1.5% in CY25. This
recovery is driven by stronger household consumption, as the impact of elevated energy prices diminishes and declining
inflation bolsters real income growth. Additionally, strong momentum in services, higher than expected net exports,
and higher investments have further driven this growth. But, countries like Germany are expected to have a sluggish
recovery on account of weak manufacturing growth.
148
Emerging Market and Developing Economies Group
Emerging market and developing economies are forecasted to maintain stable growth at 4.3% in both CY24 and CY25.
This forecast has been revised upwards by 0.1 percentage point as compared to the April 2024 WEO update on account

• Rapid Industrialization
One of the primary drivers of growth in this industry is the rapid pace of industrialization worldwide. FIBCs are
increasingly being adopted by manufacturers in the chemical and agriculture sectors for the transportation of various
commodities, including grains, rice, potatoes, cereals, and liquid chemicals. Additionally, these bags are used to store
and transport construction supplies such as carbon black, steel, alloys, minerals, cement, and sand.
Moreover, the FIBC market is expanding due to growing environmental concerns and the rising demand for lightweight,
biodegradable bulk packaging materials, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. Pharmaceutical-grade FIBCs play a
crucial role in the storage and prevention of contamination for a wide range of medical products. Innovations in product
development, such as the introduction of FIBC variations designed for hygienic packaging solutions, are further
contributing to the industry's growth.
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) offer cost-effectiveness, efficient load handling, ease of use, and
chemical resistance, making them a swift replacement for alternative bulk packaging options such as paper-based
products. Additionally, FIBCs contribute to weight reduction, resulting in lower transportation costs.
Beyond the surging demand anticipated in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, particularly in the food & beverage industry,
other key end-use sectors including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction, metals & mining, among others, are
progressively transitioning to FIBCs due to their advantages, such as cost-efficiency and enhanced handling
convenience.
• Growing Pharmaceutical Product and Chemical Material Trade among European Countries
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) are United Nations-certified high-quality, non-polluting transport
solutions. The growing demand for industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals in Europe and the growing trade volume
among European countries are driving the development of this industry market. According to the Federation of
European Pharmaceutical Industry Associations, Germany exported nearly 15% of its medicines globally in 2019.
Whereas, according to the European Chemical Industry Council, the chemical industry is the second-largest
manufacturing industry in the UK, with revenues of $74.6 billion and value-added of $22.8 billion in 2019, followed
by the food and beverage processing industry. Furthermore, the UK's chemical industry is active in all key sectors,
including petrochemicals, basic inorganic substances, agrochemicals, polymers, paints, and industries including fuel
additives, lubricants, construction chemicals, and more. The increased use of products in the industrial sector thus drives
sales in Europe.
165
• Growing Demand for Cereals boosts New Zealand Market
Flexible intermediate bulk container bags (FIBC) are widely used in agricultural applications, where these bags can be
used to maintain the freshness of agricultural products and extend their shelf life. Also, a wide variety of FIBCs can
fulfil the transportation needs of a variety of different items. For example, Baffle bags and circular FlBCs are ideal for
storing dry grainy produce like legumes, beans, and rice and Fine powders like salt.
Whereas giant bags are ideal for handling livestock feed and pet food, as they help maintain the nutritional value of the
product. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, New Zealand's grain and feed import volumes in 2022 rose
to the highest level ever, importing 3.7 million metric tons (MMT), up 13% from the previous year. National grain and
feed demand continue to outstrip domestic supply by nearly double, with New Zealand producing 2.1 MMT in 2022,
but consuming an estimated 5.8 MMT.
• Cost-Effectiveness of FIBCs
Flexible intermediate bulk containers reduce the total weight of bulk packaging due to their negligible weight. They
can also be stored in a small space by folding and pressing multiple container bags together. Container bags are made
of flexible woven fabrics, usually polypropylene (PP), and can hold a weight of 500 kg to 2,000 kg. These flexible
intermediate containers are commonly used to store dry and mobile products such as grains, seeds, salt, chemicals, sand,
clay, cement, etc.
In addition, due to container bags' low cost and lightweight, forklift trucks can be used for mechanical processing, which
is very convenient to handle. Besides, the adoption rate is higher than that of corrugated paper packaging, which is
widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. Moreover, since container bags are light in weight
and can be used multiple times, they have packaging costs and transportation costs. At the same time, with the
substitutes made of metal materials, the production process is complex with associated production costs. Therefore,
cost-effectiveness is one of the driving factors of the FIBC market.
With the rapid development of online e-commerce, the traditional offline B2B model has been broken, and more and
more B2B websites have facilitated procurement among enterprises. Flexible intermediate bulk containers, which
provide products for various industrial food industries, can also use online distribution channels to improve their sales
efficiency and use the convenience of the network to better meet the customization needs of consumers.
Constraints and Limitations of FIBC Industry
Labour costs play an important role in the flexible medium bulk container industry. In addition, the larger the per capita
GDP of developed countries, the higher the per capita labour remuneration and the higher the labour price level. Also,
due to the aggravation of the global ageing trend, especially in developed countries, the labour market is projecting a
shortage trend, which further raises global labour costs. Further, COVID-19 exacerbated labour market imbalances. For
example, according to an authoritative report of Japan, by 2030, Japan's labour gap will reach 6.44 million people,
facing a serious labour shortage problem1. Whereas Japan's ageing population is a substantial social problem alongside
fewer children. Therefore, the rising labour costs may limit the development of the FIBC market.
A supply shock is an event that may cause changes in production capacity and production cost, thus affecting the
stability of the entire supply chain and causing price fluctuations. Supply shocks can be divided into favourable shocks
166
and unfavourable shocks. The events that form the supply shock are not only short-term accidental events but also the
events formed by the system reform. The biggest and most long-term influencing factor is the economic system itself.
The most profound challenge to supply is policy.
In countries such as Europe and New Zealand, the industry is facing the challenge of plastic restriction orders.
According to the Proposal for Revision of EU Legislation on Packaging and Packaging Waste, as with the current
Directive, the Proposed Regulation places obligations on Member States to reduce packaging waste generation per
capita by 5% by 2030, 10% by 2035, and 15% by 2040, all compared to 2018 levels. Also, the regulation proposes to
set up return, collection, and recovery systems. Further, plastic bags, commonly used for vegetables and fruit, are
banned in New Zealand. Recyclable, biodegradable or plant-based plastic bags are also included in the ban.
The primary raw materials employed in the manufacturing of FIBCs are PP (Polypropylene) and PE (Polyethylene),
and their prices exhibit volatility. Any increase in crude oil prices directly impacts the pricing structure of FIBCs since
these polymers are derived from petroleum.
For instance, oil price is a commodity with financial value, subject to multiple influences, such as supply & demand,
the impact of international environmental policies, and so on. During COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war, the price
of crude oil has fluctuated greatly. Accordingly, affected by the fluctuation of oil prices, manufacturing costs and gross
profit changed greatly in the FIBC market.
• Labour-Intensive Process
Labour costs account for a good amount of portion, this factor has dissuaded bulk packaging manufacturers in developed
regions with elevated labour costs from venturing into the FIBC segment. Consequently, there has been a heavy reliance
on the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region to meet the demand for FIBCs. However, the growing popularity of FIBCs in
countries like India, China, and Southeast Asia has led to reduced export volumes from the APAC region. This shift in
export quantities may potentially influence the pricing dynamics for buyers in developed regions.
Potential legal challenges and Changes in Legislation for the FIBC Industry
The FIBC industry faces several potential legal challenges and changes in legislation that could impact its future
operations. These include:
1. Environmental Regulations:
Stricter regulations on plastic use and waste disposal: Governments worldwide are enacting stricter regulations on
plastic use and waste disposal, aiming to reduce plastic pollution and promote sustainability. This could lead to
increased restrictions on the use of FIBCs, particularly those made from virgin plastic materials.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes: EPR schemes are being implemented in various countries,
holding manufacturers responsible for the end-of-life management of their products. This could require FIBC
manufacturers to invest in recycling and recovery infrastructure, potentially increasing operational costs.
2. Safety Regulations:
Increased scrutiny of safety standards: Regulatory bodies may impose stricter safety standards for FIBCs,
particularly for those used to transport hazardous materials. This could lead to higher manufacturing costs and stricter
testing requirements.
167

stringent, requiring manufacturers to design FIBCs for longer lifespans and ensure proper handling and maintenance
during reuse.
3. Trade Regulations:
Increased trade barriers: Trade conflicts and protectionist policies could lead to increased tariffs and import
restrictions on FIBCs, disrupting global supply chains and impacting the industry's competitiveness.
Regulations on recycled content: Some countries may implement regulations requiring a minimum recycled content
in FIBCs, potentially impacting manufacturers who rely on virgin materials.
Need for robust quality control and compliance systems: To mitigate product liability risks, manufacturers will need
to implement robust quality control and compliance systems to ensure their products meet all regulatory requirements.
5. Emerging Technologies:
Rise of alternative packaging solutions: The development and adoption of alternative packaging solutions, such as
reusable containers or bulk shipping systems, could challenge the dominance of FIBCs in certain markets.
Need for innovation and adaptation: FIBC manufacturers will need to continuously innovate and adapt their products
and technologies to remain competitive in the face of emerging trends and disruptions.
➢ Harmonization of international regulations: Efforts to harmonize international regulations for FIBCs could
lead to a more streamlined and predictable regulatory environment for manufacturers and exporters.
➢ Incentives for sustainable practices: Governments may offer incentives to FIBC manufacturers who adopt
sustainable practices, such as using recycled materials or implementing energy-efficient production processes.
➢ Investment in research and development: Increased government funding for research and development in

Further, the food grade FIBCs are becoming an ideal choice for the commercial food industries. The food & agriculture
sector had around 25% market share in 2023. The low demand was attributed to disrupted food supply chains due to
the pandemic, climatic changes like heat waves damaging the crops and decreasing the yields, low rainfall owing to
low production, and increasing cost of inputs like fertilizers and fuel.
The minerals and ores sector had seen a y-o-y increase of 3.1% in 2023 after a y-o-y decline of around 9.5% in 2022
due to a decline in exports. The fall in exports was mainly observed during the months of June-November 2022 because
170
of the imposition of export duties. For instance, in May 2022, the duty on iron ore concentrates was increased to 50%
from 30%. This duty was subsequently reversed in November 2022.
The iron ore produced in India is primarily used for domestic steel production and India’s steel production has increase
from 2023 backed by infrastructure growth in the country. Also, increased activities in the construction sector alongside
the thriving real estate and automobile sectors are expected to boost the demand from this sector.
Moreover, the FIBC industry’s consumption is likely to reach 69 million units at the end of the 2024. It has been
growing at a CAGR of 5% during 2020-2023, owing to the increasing consumption from the chemicals &
petrochemicals, food & agriculture, construction & mining sectors. In addition, the government has included the
chemicals sector as a priority sector under the ambitious ‘Make in India’ initiative of the government.
‘Make in India’ has played a pivotal role in driving some of the key initiatives to stimulate growth in the chemicals
industry (organic and inorganic). The government has already taken some crucial steps to create favourable conditions,
in terms of policies and infrastructure, to attract global and domestic investments in the Indian chemicals industry.
Similarly, likely growth in various industries in the domestic market is expected to support the inorganic chemicals
market going forward.
Furthermore, the retail industry is developing in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities, in addition to major cities and metros in the
country. The growing retail sector in India will increase the demand for flexible packaging. Additionally, transitioning
demographic profiles, rising disposable incomes, growing urbanization, and changing consumer tastes & preferences
are driving the growth of the organized retail market in India. Besides, the disposable income in India has increased at
a CAGR of 10.7% in the last decade and is exhibiting a good growth trajectory.
According to IFIBCA, the FIBC market in India has grown by almost 38% in the last 10 years. FIBCs offer a convenient
way to store and transport food products. This is because they are lightweight, easy to handle, and can be stacked to
save space. India is a major exporter of food products. Food-grade FIBCs are used to transport food products to overseas
markets. However, the production of the FIBC industry declined by around 3.3% y-o-y in 2022 but increased by 8% y-
o-y in 2023. It is expected to reach around 151.1 million units by the end of 2024. The FIBC market was valued at 926
USD million in 2023 and has grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during the period, 2020-2023.

types. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for enforcing compliance with BIS standards for FIBCs.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) are responsible
for enforcing their respective regulations related to FIBCs.
There are various initiatives by the Government of India in order to boost FIBC market in India.
➢ Since 2014, the government has taken the following actions to increase India's exports. On April 1st, 2015, a new
Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2015–20 was introduced. The strategy, among other things, rationalized the former
export promotion programmes and created two new programmes: the "Services Exports from India Scheme" (SEIS)
and the "Merchandise Exports from India Scheme" (MEIS), which are both aimed at boosting service exports. These
systems made the duty credit stamps they issued freely transferable. The Foreign Trade Policy (2015–20) had a
midterm review in 2017, and corrective actions were performed.
➢ Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the Foreign Trade Policy (2015–20) has been prolonged by one year, or
up to March 31st,2022. The Department of Commerce established a new Logistics Division for integrated
development of logistics sector. With the introduction of the Interest Equalisation Scheme on April 1st, 2015,
exporters could now obtain credit at lower rates for pre- and post-shipment rupee export credits.
➢ The government began implementing the Niryat Bandhu Scheme with the goal of reaching out to new and potential
exporters, including exporters from Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and mentoring them on various
aspects of foreign trade through orientation programmes, counselling sessions, one-on-one facilitation, etc. This will
help them enter the global market and increase India's exports.
➢ Market Access Initiatives (MAI) and Trade Infrastructure for Export Scheme (TIES) are two of the programmes
that aid promote exports. To encourage agricultural exports, a comprehensive "Agriculture Export Policy" was
introduced on December 6th, 2018. For the purpose of reducing the freight disadvantage for the export of agricultural
products, a Central Sector Scheme called "Transport and Marketing Assistance for Specified Agriculture Products"
was established. With effect from January 1st,2021, the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products
(RoDTEP) scheme and the Rebate of State and Central Levies and Taxes (RoSCTL) plan have been put into place.
➢ In order to improve trade and the use of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) by exporters, the Common Digital
Platform for Certificate of Origin has been developed. For the purpose of promoting and diversifying services
exports through the implementation of targeted action plans, 12 Champion Services Sectors have been designated.
Districts as Export Hubs has been established by identifying items in each district with export potential, eliminating
exporting bottlenecks for these products, and assisting local exporters and manufacturers to create jobs in the district.
176
Indian embassies now play a more proactive role in promoting India's commerce, tourism, technology, and
investment objectives abroad. A package of actions has been issued in light of the COVID pandemic to boost
domestic industry through different banking and financial sector relief measures, particularly for MSMEs, which
account for good amount of portion of exports.

While carrying out our operations, we focus on sustainability in all aspects of our operations. We focus on reusing
and recycling plastic products to reduce carbon emissions. Our Company is dedicated to environmental stewardship,
exemplified by the establishment of a 2 MW Solar Power Plant in Village Khodri Nipania, Tehsil Tarana, Dist.
Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh for captive consumption. Installed in March 2021, this project is supplemented by a rooftop
solar plant in Unit 2, generating 300 KW and an estimated annual production of approximately 32 lakh units. The
energy generated from these sources is renewable, green, and clean sources of energy. Also, a solar power plant in
Unit IV and Unit V for 142 KW and 650 KW respectively is installed in year 2021 for captive use. The solar power
plant is not integral to our core business operations. However, its major benefits lie in cost reduction for production
and captive use.
Despite not being a core aspect of our Company's operations, the solar power plant was established to mitigate power
costs. Solar energy proves to be a more cost-effective alternative compared to the supply provided by M.P. Paschim
Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Co. Ltd. (MPPKVCL). Units generated by the plant are channelled into the grid, with
MPPKVCL deducting the supplied units from the company's monthly power bill. This strategy of utilizing self-
generated power for captive consumption not only reduces production costs but also aligns with the preferences of
international clients, who advocate for investments in renewable energy.
181
While the solar power plant may not be integral to the company's primary business model, its benefits are undeniable.
By enhancing cost competitiveness and facilitating captive power consumption, the plant contributes to the
company's operational efficiency. Furthermore, its provision of safe, green, and clean energy aligns with the nation's
current emphasis on sustainable practices. This solar plant powers our own operations, and we believe we are one of
the very few companies in our industry with such a large solar power plant for our captive consumption. We installed
this project in March 2021. The units generating from these plants are renewable, green, and clean sources of energy.
Also, a solar power plant in Unit IV and Unit V for 142 KW and 650 KW respectively is installed in year 2021 for
captive use. The solar power plant is not integral to our core business operations. However, its major benefits lie in
cost reduction for production and captive use.
Our customer base spans the globe, and our commitment to equality and customer satisfaction, regardless of customer
size or location, has been instrumental in our continued growth and stability. Our Company has a customer base
across industries and geographies both at domestic and overseas. This reduces our dependence on any one industry
or location and provides a natural hedge against market instability in a particular industry or location. Over the years
we have established relationships with various clients across industries and continue to serve them our product
offerings. We enjoy long-term relationships with several clients, and their repeat business provides us with a clear
view of future revenues and a stable client base.

The FIBC produced by our Company are engineered to accommodate loads ranging from 500 kg to 2,500 kg. FIBC
accounts for 51.47%, 67.89% and 78.30% of revenue from operations for year ended Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and
Fiscal 2022 respectively. We have always expanded our capacities and/or introduced new products based on latest
technology to cater to the growing demand of our customers. We also regularly endeavor to update our existing
technology on a continuous basis.
Polymers, our raw material comprises the major part of our product costs and polymers experience volatility in
pricing. Over the years, we have developed understanding of polymer price and market trends and have built
relationships with polymer suppliers in India and overseas. Our size of operation and experience in polymer business
enables us in sourcing our inputs at appropriate times and at competitive prices. We hire trucks on rental basis as per
our requirement for internal transfer of raw materials and products used for captive consumption between our units
thereby streamline products schedules. Further we also hire trucks/ containers for delivery of goods to local
customers and various ports for onward shipment to various countries. We have long term relationships with our
vendors that enable us to ensure timely availability of raw materials as well as enable us to secure the best possible
prices for raw material.
Our cost of raw materials constitutes the major component of our cost structure. The raw materials are predominantly
procured from within India, with 95% sourced from one major petrochemical industry on a contract basis.
Additionally, we import a portion of our raw materials from international suppliers, from countries such as Singapore,
China, Turkey, Vietnam, and Spain.
For the period ended March 31, 2024, our raw materials cost for FIBC and woven bags, including BOPP laminated
bags, was ₹41,422.37 lakhs, representing 76.76% of revenue from sales.

Our procurement strategy relies heavily on a few key suppliers. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the top five
suppliers contributed 79.09% of our total raw material purchases, while the top ten suppliers accounted for 92.62%.
The details for previous periods:
We currently source most of our key raw materials from domestic vendors and our subsidiary. We generally do not
enter into long-term supply contracts with our suppliers, typically sourcing raw materials under shorter-term
contracts. As our product portfolio grows and production capacities increase, we will need to procure additional
volumes of raw materials. Due to the abundant availability of raw materials in our industry, we face minimal risk
regarding supply fluctuations.
The period between procurement and conversion of raw materials into finished products is short, minimizing the
impact of raw material price changes on our product prices. We sell our finished products at prevailing market
rates, which incorporate any fluctuations in raw material prices. However, we do not hedge against raw material
price volatility.
While imported raw materials did not contribute to the total cost of raw materials for the period ended March 31,
2024, the figures for previous periods are as under:
Polymer, our primary raw material, experiences price volatility. Our understanding of polymer price and market
trends, coupled with relationships with polymer suppliers, both domestically and internationally, allows us to source
inputs at competitive prices. We also hire trucks for the internal transfer of raw materials and products between
units and for delivering goods to local customers and ports for shipment to various countries. Our long-term vendor
relationships ensure timely availability of raw materials and competitive pricing.

OUR STRENGTHS:
Over the years, we have nurtured relationships with clients across various industries, consistently providing them
with our product offerings. We maintain relationships with many clients, and their repeat business provides us with
an understanding of future revenues and a stable client base. We help and design customized FIBCs, by offering
complete range of FIBC for packaging all possible products. This enables our customers to improve performance
and to reduce the cost thereby helping us in retaining our customers and getting price advantage over other suppliers.
Over the years we have developed and rolled out a broad range of products. Our product portfolio comprises of
industrial and consumer packaging solutions, lifestyle products, automotive components, healthcare products and
construction related products etc. We believe that diverse product range of products allows our customers to source
most of their product requirement from a single vendor and enables us to expand our business from existing
customers, as well as address a larger base of potential new customers. We provide customized solutions and
manufacture bags that cater to changing and specific need-based requirements of our clients.
The table below lists the contribution of top 1, top 5 and top 10 customers in our total sales:
Cost-Effectiveness of FIBCs
FIBCs are made of flexible woven fabrics, usually polypropylene (PP), and can hold a weight of 500 kg to 2,000 kg.
These flexible intermediate containers are commonly used to store dry and mobile products such as grains, seeds,
191
salt, chemicals, sand, clay, cement, etc. FIBCs offer cost-effectiveness, efficient load handling, ease of use, and
chemical resistance, making them a swift replacement for alternative bulk packaging options such as paper-based
products. Additionally, FIBCs contribute to weight reduction, resulting in lower transportation costs. Beyond the
surging demand anticipated in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, particularly in the food & beverage industry, other
key end-use sectors including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction, metals & mining, among others, are
progressively transitioning to FIBCs due to their advantages, such as cost-efficiency and enhanced handling
convenience. FIBC reduce the total weight of bulk packaging due to their negligible weight. They can also be stored
in a small space by folding and pressing multiple container bags together. (Source: Care Edge Report),
In addition, due to Container bags' low cost and lightweight, forklift trucks can be used for mechanical processing,
which is very convenient to handle. Besides, the adoption rate is higher than that of corrugated paper packaging,
which is widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. Moreover, since Container bags are light
in weight and can be used multiple times, they have lower packaging costs and transportation costs. At the same
time, with the substitutes made of metal materials, the production process is complex with associated production
costs. Therefore, cost-effectiveness is one of the driving factors of the FIBC market (Source: Care Edge Report).
We offer a wide range of packaging solutions to our clients since we manufacture variety of FIBC bags for packaging
all possible products including, food products, chemicals, minings etc. Our products are logistic solutions for diverse
industry and the success of our business does not depend upon a few sectors. We believe that we are a one-stop
solution to all FIBC packaging needs and putting efforts to grow majorly on the same.
We have a multi-product portfolio and have the ability to adjust to needs of our customers. Our ability to offer the
complete range of FIBCs help us in retaining our customers and also helps us in getting price advantage over other
suppliers. We are into diverse categories of bag and liner production, which is manufactured on the basis of the
specifications provided by our customer, along with printing on the bags to make the bags attractive. The table below

Multi-market Company
We are not dependent on a single market and have our presence in both, overseas as well as domestic market having
our customer base spread across the globe. Our products are exported to 38 different countries and in the domestic
market we supply our products on PAN India basis. Further, we have exported around 3.8 million FIBC bags during
FY 2023 from our Unit I and Unit II. Our Company exports its products to over 38 countries across six continents,
with major export destinations including USA, Germany, Australia, UK, Singapore, Canada, France, New Zealand,
Chile, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and Malaysia.
According to IFIBCA, India has a 75% share in European FIBC imports and a 72% share in the US import market.
India’s dominance in the export market is attributable to a growing focus on quality, excellent engineering
capabilities, backward integration, and ethical business practices. Further, the growth is supported by the increasing
demand from sectors like food and agriculture, chemical and petrochemicals, construction materials, etc (Source:
Care Edge Report).
The export numbers are expected to project a CAGR of 5% during 2024-2028 and will reach around 99.9 million
units by the end of the forecast period (Source: Care Edge Report).

One of the primary drivers of growth in this industry is the rapid pace of industrialization worldwide. FIBCs are
increasingly being adopted by manufacturers in the chemical and agriculture sectors for the transportation of various
commodities, including grains, rice, potatoes, cereals, and liquid chemicals. Additionally, these bags are used to store
and transport construction supplies such as carbon black, steel, alloys, minerals, cement, and sand.
Moreover, the FIBC market is expanding due to growing environmental concerns and the rising demand for
lightweight, biodegradable bulk packaging materials, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. Pharmaceutical-grade
FIBCs play a crucial role in the storage and prevention of contamination for a wide range of medical products.
Innovations in product development, such as the introduction of FIBC variations designed for hygienic packaging
solutions, are further contributing to the industry's growth (Source: Care Edge Report).
Our Promoter is a Chemical Engineer, positioning him as the top authority in guiding and overseeing our in-house
team for product develoment. This team is capable of providing customized solutions to meet customer needs. Our
endeavor is to focus substantially in our capabilities. We have earmarked a separate area for this, employing
individuals exclusively for such activities. We have two pending patents for a unique weaving process designed to
enhance the strength of FIBC with single and double loop jumbo bags, utilizing Mesh Technology without increasing
GSM. We are concentrating on in-house research and product development to create plastic processing solutions.
FIBCs are a more sustainable packaging solution than traditional packaging materials, such as drums and sacks.
FIBC bags are reusable, recyclable, lightweight, and efficient. Further, FIBC bags are made from polypropylene,
which is a recyclable material. The increasing awareness about sustainability is thus expected to drive the demand
for FIBC. FIBC accounts for 51.47%, 67.89% and 78.30% of revenue from operations for year ended Fiscal 2024,
Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 respectively.
OUR STRATEGIES:
We have two business divisions (i) Domestic sales; and (ii) Exports. We have a presence in Telangana, Madhya
Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Punjab, West Bengal, Tamil
194
Nadu, Gujarat, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand states for our domestic market based on
sales made in last 3 years.
Since we started our exports in the year 2006, we have earmarked Export Sales to Rs. 26,465.87 Lakhs (49.04 % of
Total Revenue) and Rs. 30,487.89 Lakhs (64.13% of Total Revenue) as compared to Domestic Sales of Rs. 27,500.21
Lakhs (50.96% of Total Revenue) and Rs. 17,055.44 Lakhs (35.87% of Total Revenue) in FY 2024 and FY 2023
respectively. Export Sales of Rs. 37,506.67 Lakhs (84.44% of Total Revenue) as compared to Domestic sales Rs.
6,911.37 Lakhs (15.56% of Total Revenue) in FY 2022.
We believe that we have a noteworthy global foot print and are exporting our products to over 38 countries across six
continents, with major export destinations including Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, Chile, Sweden, France,
the UK, Germany, Spain, Malaysia, and Singapore.
We generate major portion of our sales from our customers situated overseas majorly in USA, Germany, Sweden, UK,
Spain, France, Australia, Canada, Lithuania and Singapore. For the year ended March 31, 2024, our Company has
generated 49.04% of our net revenue from operations cumulatively from these countries.

(₹ in lakhs, except for percentage)
Over the years, there has been an increase in the export of FIBCs from various regions. Among the top five exporters,
India accounts for almost 70% of overall exports (in 2022), followed by China (21%), and South-East Asia (2%).
Furthermore, in India, the government's supportive policies and the rising global trade fueled industrialization,
driving up the demand for FIBC for efficient product storage and transportation. Besides, numerous manufacturing
businesses have been established in India, accredited to the Make in India initiative and sector-specific incentives,
which has further raised the demand for FIBCs. As a result, it is anticipated that the Indian FIBC market will grow
and play a vital role in the delivery and storage of goods for numerous end-user industries, thereby reaching the value
of exports at 517 USD million. According to Indian Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container Association (“IFIBCA”),
nearly 85% of production in the industrial sector is exported, with acceptance for exports in close to 65 nations across
6 continents. It is anticipated that domestic demand and exports will both see exponential growth throughout the ten-
year period from 2020 to 2030 (Source: Care Edge Report).
We are continuously enhancing our technology systems to improve asset productivity, operational efficiencies, and
bolster our competitive standing. We believe that our in-house technology capabilities will remain instrumental in
efficiently managing and expanding our operations, maintaining rigorous operational and fiscal controls, and
elevating customer service standards. Our plan includes ongoing investment in our in-house technology capabilities
to create tailored systems and processes for effective management control. Our ongoing focus is on reinforcing
operational and fiscal controls.
Recycling.
We recycle all plastic waste generated during production, converting it into recycled plastic granules. These recycled
granules are then reintegrated into our production process based on customer demand and approval. With an
increasing global focus on recycling, our strategy of recycling our waste and using it in our production aligns with
our customers' desire for products with recycled content.

Utilities
All our manufacturing facilities have access to the necessary utilities, like electricity and water. Electricity is
provided by MPEB (Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board) for our manufacturing facilities located in Pithampur,
Madhya Pradesh.
Manufacturing Process:
The Manufacturing process starts with procurement of raw materials i.e. PP granules, HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE.
Apart from these, UV and colour master batches, ink, thread, etc. are also used.
PP granules are majorly used in manufacturing of fabric whereas LDPE is used to manufacture liners. Liners are
manufactured by processing LDPE in Liner blown film plant, output of which is then sized as per customer's
requirement in the form fit & sealing machine and then glued with the help of Liner gluing machine. These liners
can either be directly sold to the client or can be used as an intermediate product and used in finishing of FIBC, based
on customer requirements. Liners especially used in FIBC are required to handle Chemical and Food products etc.
202
Raw Materials
We procure various types and grades of polymers for manufacture of different products. The main polymers used by
us include polypropylene (PP) granules, Low density polyethelene (LDPE) of different grades and High-Density
Polyethylene (HDPE) of different grades.
We procure reprocessed granules, fabric/reprocessed fabric of various colors, GSM, and widths, as well as
Crimpyarn and multifilament from related parties i.e. Ever Bags Packaging Private Limited and AON textiles Private
Limited.
Polypropylene (PP) granules play a predominant role in the production of fabric, while Low-Density Polyethylene
(LDPE) is employed in the manufacturing of liners. The liners are created through the processing of LDPE in a liner
blown film plant. Subsequently, the output is tailored to meet customer specifications through a form-fit and sealing
machine, and it is then affixed with the assistance of a liner gluing machine. These liners can be directly supplied to
customers or utilized as an intermediate product, serving the finishing needs of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers
(FIBC) in accordance with customer preferences. Liners find particular application in FIBC designed to handle semi-
liquid substances.
203
The process of manufacturing bags starts with the mixing of raw materials which is done with the use of machine
called mixer and the proportion of raw material is decided by the supervisor depending upon the specification of the
customer. The mixed material automatically goes to hopper of extruder with the help of suction blower.
a. Fabric roll is first placed on one side and sent into machine
b. Requisite colour and graphics are entered in to the machine
c. Printing is done on the roll and again on the other side it is wrapped in roll form.
d. Rolls are sent to next step i.e. Stitching process after cutting them into desired lengths.
204
The bailing of goods is done as per the specification of the customers. For bailing of goods, the processes are as
follows:-
Master batches
Master batches provide colour to the product manufactured. The master batches are mixed with the polymers while
feeding in the hoppers of the machines. They are melted along with the polymers giving colour to the entire batch of
products.
Our manufacturing units I and II are ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22000:2018 certified by Staunchly Management and
System Services Limited and International Certification Services Private Limited and Unit III facility is certified
with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, ISO 22000:2018 and SEDEX SMETA four pillar. The
personal health and safety of each employee of our organization is of primary importance. We believe that our
employees are important assets and their safety at our worksite is our responsibility. Our Company provides the
necessary equipment and facilities required for the personal safety and health of each employee, workers and
contractors at our manufacturing units. We implement work safety measures to ensure a safe working environment
including general guidelines for health and safety at our manufacturing units, accident reporting, wearing safety
equipment and maintaining clean and orderly work locations.
We continually aim to comply with the applicable health and safety regulations and other requirements in our
business operations.
Our business operations and products primarily cater to various customers as spectral range of products. There are
extremely limited number of players in India who have such a huge portfolio of products. We have dedicated facilities
for different type of bags under the group companies thereby ensuring more cost effectiveness and consistency of
quality. Major volumes of our orders are repeat orders owing to our world class reputation in the FIBC industry
across the globe. Our marketing activities are for both the domestic and export market. In domestic market, our
Company mainly caters to end user industry and traders and in the export markets we deal with merchant exporters
and commission agents. As we have customer base spread across the globe, we are not dependent on a limited number
of customers or any particular region of the world for stability in sales. Our Company follows direct sales model and
also sells through Commission agents for domestic sales and merchant exports in the export market. We believe that
we have understanding of technical aspects of the products and are a preferred choice among the customers for any
variety of bags.
We are getting our plastic waste generated during the production process recycled and we then reuse it for production.
The above-mentioned points provide us a cutting edge over any player in the market thereby making us one of the
most stable manufacturers of these products in India and hence, we do not expect much competition in our segment
of manufacturing in India, However, we face some competition from manufacturers of Vietnam and Bangladesh. We
have a large number of customers from all the corners of the world. Although we believe in and work for long lasting
relationships but we keep on growing our customer base. We never distinguish between a small or a big customer.
We give equal importance and priority to all irrespective to their size, volume or location. This is the reason for our
stability and growth. Our product quality, in time service and dedication are our main strength which has been the
reason for our story of success.
Our Company intends to focus on following marketing strategies: (i) Increased customer satisfaction (ii) Continuous
follow-up with customers (iii) Develop new market and customers. Our Company has 7 (seven) members’ centralised
205
sales and marketing team garnering clients for its products and building relations with them. The division is directly
managed by our Promoter, considering the critical nature of these operations.
Our sales and marketing team consists of well experienced and qualified people to develop, maintain and increase
relations with our customers. Our marketing team plays an important role in the development of new products based
on their study and feedback on latest industrial needs. Our Registered Office and manufacturing units are well
synchronised, and we endeavour to keep them updated from time to time. We target our marketing activities towards
both domestic and multinational corporations for our products. New customers as well as product development is
mainly through participation in exhibitions to stay updated on industry trends, finding new products and customers.
We also periodically advertise in Chemical Weekly, industry specific magazines which showcases our products to
the right clientele.
We sell goods directly to traders and customers without using a distribution channel. We prioritize building business
relationships and operate on a B2B business model. To foster these relationships, we have a marketing team
segmented geographically for better outreach. These teams engage potential customers through various
communication methods such as emails and phone calls. Once communication is established and customer
requirements are understood, specifications and quotes are exchanged. Upon confirming customer feasibility,
samples are sent for final approval before production begins. We manufacture our products with a focus on quality
assurance. Once approved by our quality team, our logistics team ensures timely delivery of goods and receipt of
payment to complete the transaction.
Manpower
We also hire workers on contract basis at our manufacturing units as per requirement.

These Restated Consolidated Financial Information do not reflect the effects of events that occurred
subsequent to the respective dates of auditor’s reports on the audited consolidated financial statements
mentioned above.
(a) have been prepared after incorporating adjustments for the changes in accounting policies, material
errors, if any, and regrouping/reclassifications retrospectively in the period/years ended March 31,
2024, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 to reflect the same accounting treatment as per the
accounting policies and grouping/classifications followed as at and for the year ended March 31,
2024.
(b) do not require any adjustment for qualification as there are no qualifications in the underlying audit

These Restated financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis following the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with the Generally accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India
(Indian Accounting standards referred to as “IndAS”) as specified under the section 133 of the Companies
Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 and relevant
amendments rules issued there after and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the
Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III). These Consolidated financial statements are
presented in INR and all values are rounded to the nearest Lakhs, except when otherwise indicated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention, except for the following assets
and liabilities:
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group
is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the
date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
The Group combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together
like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. InterGroup transactions, balances and
unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also
eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting
policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the restated
consolidated statement of profit and loss, restated consolidated statement of changes in equity and restated
consolidated statement of assets and liabilities respectively.
Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control.
This is generally the case where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments
in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at
cost.
266
Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Limited
(Formerly known as Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited)
CIN: U25204MP2001PLC014855
Equity Method
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted
thereafter to recognise the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in
profit and loss, and the Company’s share of other comprehensive income of the investee in other
comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are
recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Company’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in
the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Company does not recognise further
losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to
the extent of the Company’s interest in these entities.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the
asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary
to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash and cash
equivalents. The Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price,
borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its
working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the
purchase price. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Group.
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in statement of profit or loss as incurred.
Subsequent costs are included in asset’s carrying amount or recognized as separate assets, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Group and
the cost of item can be measured reliably.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss
arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.

Capital work- in- progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation/under
development as at the balance sheet date.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are
reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Cost of intangible assets
acquired in business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development cost, are not capitalized and the
related expenditure is reflected in statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is
incurred. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working
condition for its intended use.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually,
either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed
annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful
life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. The Group has assessed indefinite life for
such brand considering the expected usage, expected investment on brand, business forecast and
challenges to establish a premium electronic segment. These are carried at historical cost and tested for
impairment annually.
An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from
its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from disposal of the intangible assets are measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in
the statement of profit and loss when the assets are disposed off.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on pro-rata basis on straight-line method
using the useful lives prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite
lives are amortized over their useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that
the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes
in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied
in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated
as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is
recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates
the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-
generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable
amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into
268

account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These
calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies
or other available fair value indicators.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value wherever required. Transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities
(other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or
deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial
recognition.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date
basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of
assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair
value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for
investments in equity instruments, which are not held for trading. Debt instruments that do not meet the
amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria (see above) are measured at FVTPL. In addition, debt
instruments that meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but are designated as at FVTPL
are measured at FVTPL.
A financial asset that meets the amortised cost criteria or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria
may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly
reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities
or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases,
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or
losses arising on remeasurements recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or
loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the 'Other income'
line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Group's right to receive the
dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow
to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount
of dividend can be measured reliably.
On initial recognition, the Group can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis)
to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investments
in equity instruments. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These
elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the 'Reserve for equity instruments
through other comprehensive income'. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on
disposal of the investments.
• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages
together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
• it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group's
right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the
dividend win flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment
and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably. Dividends recognised in profit or loss is included
in the 'Other income' line item.
The Group has not elected for the FVTOCI irrevocable option for this investment.
The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets. The
impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from
transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 18, the Group always measures the loss allowance at an
amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset
expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of
the asset to another party. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in
the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the
financial asset and recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount
and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if
such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to
repurchase part of a transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial
asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer
recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference
between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the
consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it
that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss
would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative
gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that
continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values
of those parts.
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity
in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability
and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
270
Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Limited
(Formerly known as Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited)
CIN: U25204MP2001PLC014855
Repurchase of the Group's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain
or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group's own equity
instruments.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or
at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is
designated as at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
• It has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon
initial recognition if:
• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would
otherwise arise;
• the financial liability forms part of a Group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is
managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, i accordance with the Group’s
documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided
internally on that basis; or
• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. The net gain or loss recognised in Statement of Profit and
Loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the ‘other gains and losses'
line item in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only
when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the
carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged,
cancelled or have expired. An exchange between with a lender of debt instruments with substantially
different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition
of a new financial liability, Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial
liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an
extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid
and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
The investment in subsidiaries are carried at cost as per IND AS 27. The Group regardless of the nature of
its involvement with an entity (the investee), determines whether it is a parent by assessing whether it
controls the investee. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over
the investee.
271
Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Limited
(Formerly known as Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited)
CIN: U25204MP2001PLC014855
Thus, the Group controls an investee if and only if it has all the following:
• power over the investee;
• exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and
• the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the returns.
Investments are accounted in accordance with Ind AS 105 when they are classified as held for sale. On
disposal of investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged
or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
2.9 Inventories
Inventories comprise of Raw Materials, Work in Progress, Stores and spares, Packing Materials and
Finished Goods.
Cost of Raw Materials, Work in Progress, Stores & Spares, Packing Material is determined at FIFO Basis.
Finished Goods and stock in trade is valued at lower of cost or net realisable value.
Revenue from contacts with customer is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred
to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price which is the
consideration, adjusted for discount and other credits, if any, as specified in the contract with customer.
The Group presents revenue from contracts with customer net of indirect taxes in its statement of profit
and loss. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria to determine if it is acting
as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue
arrangement.
Sales revenue is recognized when property in the goods with all significant risk and rewards as well as
the effective control of goods usually associated with ownership are transferred to the buyer and are
recorded net of trade discounts, rebates, Value Added Tax, Goods and Service Tax and gross of Excise
Duty.
Subsidy, Claims and refunds due from Government authorities and parties, through receivable /
refundable are not recognized in the accounts, if the amount thereof is not ascertainable. These are
accounted for as and when ascertained or admitted by the concerned authorities / parties in favor of the
Company.
Income from services are recognized as and when the services are rendered. The Company collects service
tax/GST on behalf of the government and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the Company.
Hence, it is excluded from revenue.
Interest Income
Interest Income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and
applicable interest rate.
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income
based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted
at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Group and its subsidiaries and associates
operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes
272
Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Limited
(Formerly known as Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited)
CIN: U25204MP2001PLC014855
provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statement.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially
enacted by the end of the reporting period and are excepted to apply when the related deferred income tax
assets is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if
it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and
losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current
tax assets and tax liabilities are off set where the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends
either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates
to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to statement of profit and loss as current tax. The
Group recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence
that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period i.e. the period for which MAT credit
is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Group recognizes MAT credit as an asset in
accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Credit available in respect of Minimum Alternate
Tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit
and loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement” under the deferred tax assets. The Group reviews the
“MAT Credit Entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Group
does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly
within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are
recognized in respect of employee service upto the end of the reporting period and are measured at the
amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current
employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
2.12.2 Post-employment
The Group makes specified monthly contribution towards employee provident fund to Employees’
Provident Fund. The Group’s contributions to the fund are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss
in the financial year to which the employee renders the service.
The Group’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation under such defined
benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation carried at the year-end using the Projected Unit
Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee
benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used for determining
the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on
Government securities as at the balance sheet date.
The Group recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under Employee benefit
expense in statement of profit or loss:

· Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and
non-routine settlements
· Net interest expense or income
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets
(excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized
immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other
comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit
or loss in subsequent periods.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in conformity with the accounting policies
adopted for the Company. The Company’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately
according to the nature of products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic
business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical
segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
Further, inter-segment revenue has been accounted for based on the transaction price agreed to between
segments which is primarily market based. Unallocated items include general corporate income and
expense items, which are not allocated to any business segment.
However, the company has no separate business and geographical segments to be reported.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to
equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as
bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares)
if any that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in
resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable
to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive equity shares.
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the
arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the
extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production
of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for
their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are
substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in Statement
of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount
of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash
on hand, deposit held at call with financial institutions, other short–term, highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
274

which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are
shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
The Group’s Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupee (₹) which is also the Group’s
functional currency. Foreign currency transaction are recorded on initial recognition in the functional
currency, using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction.
• Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the
exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date.
• Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised as income or
expense in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
2.19.1 Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These
estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If the
effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that
reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, reimbursement is recognised as
a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a
provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax
rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost in respective
expense.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in
extremely rare cases, where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured
reliably. The Group does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial
statements unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
The Group measures financial instruments, such as investments (other than equity investments in
subsidiaries and joint ventures) and derivatives at fair value at each Balance Sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based
275
Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Limited
(Formerly known as Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited)
CIN: U25204MP2001PLC014855
on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an
asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value
measurement of a non- financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market
participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and
minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1- Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to fair value measurement as a whole)
at the end of each reporting period. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined
classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability
and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
The preparation of these Consolidated financial statements requires the management to make
judgments, use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses,
assets and liabilities, and the account grouping disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.
Uncertainty about these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require
a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
i. Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the
amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships differences
arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions,
could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Group
establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on
various factors, such as experience of previous tax assessments and differing interpretations of tax
regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority.
The cost of defined benefit plans (i.e. Gratuity benefit) is determined using actuarial valuations. An
actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments
in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality
rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions
and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these
assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate
discount rate, management considers the interest rates of long term government bonds with
276
Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Limited
(Formerly known as Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited)
CIN: U25204MP2001PLC014855
extrapolated maturity corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit obligation. The
mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Future salary increases and
pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for India.
iii. Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the
Group, including legal, contractor and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved
only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence,
and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and
the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
Property, Plant and Equipment represent significant portion of the asset base of the Group. The charge
in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of assets expected useful
life and expected value at the end of its useful life. The useful life and residual value of Group’s assets
are determined by Management at the time asset is acquired and reviewed periodically including at
the end of each year. The useful life is based on historical experience with similar assets, in anticipation
of future events, which may have impact on their life such as change in technology.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset including
intangible assets having indefinite useful life and goodwill may be impaired. If any indication exists,
or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable
amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s CGU’S fair value less cost of
disposal and its value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable
amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are estimated based on past trend and discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent
market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate
valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, or other fair value
indicators.
vi. Provision for expected credit losses (ECL) of trade receivables and contract assets
The Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade
receivables. Under this approach the Group does not track changes in credit risk but recognizes
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. For this purpose the Group
uses a provision matrix to determine the impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade
receivables. The said matrix is based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of
the trade receivables duly adjusted for forward looking estimates.
Determining whether the investments in subsidiaries are impaired requires an estimate in the value in
use of investments. In considering the value in use, the Directors have anticipated the future operating
margins, resources and availability of infrastructure, discount rates and other factors of the underlying
businesses/operations of the investee companies. Any subsequent changes to the cash flows due to
changes in the above-mentioned factors could impact the carrying value of investments.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards
under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 23,
2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022,
applicable from April 1, 2022, as below:
The amendments specify that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the
identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities
in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual
Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date. These
changes do not significantly change the requirements of Ind AS 103. The Group does not expect the
amendment to have any significant impact in its Financial Statements.
The amendments mainly prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of property, plant and
equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the Group is preparing the asset for
its intended use. Instead, an entity will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
The Group does not expect the amendments to have any impact in its recognition of its property, plant,
and equipment in its Financial Statements.
The amendments specify that that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate
directly to the contract’. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of
fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour materials) or an allocation of other costs that
relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment is essentially a clarification, and the Group does
not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its Financial Statements.
The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ‘10 percent’ test of Ind AS
109 in assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability. The Group does not expect the
amendment to have any significant impact in its Financial Statements.
The amendments remove the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor
in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise
because of how lease incentives were described in that illustration. The Group does not expect the
amendment to have any significant impact in its Financial Statements.
The Group has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as of April 1, 2022 (the transition
278

(Formerly known as Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading Company Private Limited)

date) by,
· recognising all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS,
· not recognising items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS,
· by reclassifying items from previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under Ind AS, and
· applying Ind AS in measurement of recognised assets and liabilities.
However, this principle is subject to the certain exception and certain optional exemptions availed by
the Group as detailed below. Since, the financial statements are the first financial statements, the first
time adoption – mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions have been explained in detail.
The Group has applied the derecognition requirements of financial assets and financial liabilities
prospectively for transactions occurring on or after April 1, 2022 (the transition date).
The Group has designated financial liabilities and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss on
the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.
The Group has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively; however, as
permitted by Ind AS 101, it has used reasonable and supportable information that is available without
undue cost or effort to determine the credit risk at the date that financial instruments were initially
recognised in order to compare it with the credit risk at the transition date. Further, the Group has not
undertaken an exhaustive search for information when determining, at the date of transition to Ind ASs,
whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, as permitted by Ind
AS 101.
The Group has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its investments in subsidiaries
recognised as of April 1, 2022 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP as its deemed cost
as at the date of transition.
(iv) Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets
The Group has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment,
and intangible assets recognised as of April 1, 2022 (transition date) measured as per the previous
GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

The Sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible change of the respective
assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. These
sensitivities show the hypothetical impact of a change in each of the lied assumptions in isolation. While
each of these sensitivities holds all other assumptions constant, in practice such assumptions rarely change
in isolation and the asset value changes may offset the impact to some extent. For presenting the sensitivities,
the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method
at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the Defined Benefit
Obligation presented above. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in the preparation of
the Sensitivity Analysis from previous year.

principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive
directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company periodically reviews the
risk management policy so that the management manages the risk through properly defined mechanism. The
focus is to foresee the unpredictability and minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial
performance. The Company’s overall risk management procedures to minimise the potential adverse effects
of financial market on the Company’s performance are as follows:
i. Market risk

of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and
other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each
customer. The demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry
and country, in which customers operate, has less influence on the credit risk.
The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as none of its
customers constitutes significant portions of trade receivables as at the year end.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by Company's treasury in
accordance with the Company’s policy. The company limits its exposure to credit risk by only placing
balances with local banks of good repute. Given the profile of its bankers, management does not expect
any counterparty to fail in meeting its obligations.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on
contractual undiscounted payments.

Our financial performance and results of operations are influenced by a variety of factors as discussed below as well as in the
section titled “Risk Factors” and “Business Overview-Our Strengths” on beginning on page 36 and 179 of this Red Herring
Prospectus.
Our cost of raw materials consumed constitutes the major component of our cost structure. The raw materials are procured from
within India with 95% of raw material from one of the major petrochemical industries on a contract basis.
We currently source most of our key raw materials from domestic vendors and from our Subsidiary. We usually do not enter into
long-term supply contracts with any of our raw material suppliers and typically source raw materials under contracts of shorter
periods. As we continue to grow our product portfolio and increase our production capacities, we would need to procure additional
volumes of raw materials. Due to the industry we operate in we face minimal risk in term as the raw material is available in
abundance and can be procured as required, we are thus in no way exposed to fluctuations in availability but since there is a
concentration of suppliers if due to any unforeseen reason if the suppliers decides to increase the prices of our raw material, and
we may not be able to effectively pass on any increase in cost of raw materials to our customers, which may adversely affect our
margins, sales, results of operations and cash flows. Any inability on our part to procure sufficient quantities of raw materials and
on commercially acceptable terms, could lead to a lower sales volumes and profit margins. The period between procurement of
raw materials and conversion into finished products is short and therefore the chances of any substantial change in the price of raw
material and the price of the final product are less. Further, we sell our finished products in the market at the prevailing rate which
includes any fluctuations/volatility in prices of raw materials and stores consumed. We do not have any policy to hedge the
fluctuations / volatility in prices of raw materials and stores consumed.
344
Any material shortage or interruption in the domestic and international supply or decrease in the quality of raw materials due to
natural causes or other factors could result in increased production costs that our Company which we may not be able to pass on
to customers, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our Company’s business.
We require certain approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for our operations. For further details, please refer to section
titled "Government and Other Approvals" beginning on page 379 of this Red Herring Prospectus. While we believe we will be
able to obtain, maintain and renew such approvals or permits as required, there can be no assurance that we can do so in the
timeframes anticipated by us, or at all. If we fail to obtain, maintain or renew any of these approvals or permits in a timely manner
or at all, our operations and expansion plans may be interrupted, which could adversely affect our growth strategy, business and
results of operations. If we fail to comply or a regulator alleges that we have not complied with these conditions, our business and
results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our capacity utilization is affected by the product requirements of, and procurement practice followed by, our customers. Under-
utilization of our manufacturing capacities over extended periods, or significant under-utilization of manufacturing units in the
short term, could materially and adversely impact our business, growth prospects and future financial performance. Consistent
with past practice, we will look to add capacities in a phased manner to ensure that we utilize our capacity at optimal levels. We
continuously focus on improving our operational efficiencies and reducing operating costs in order to improve our results of
operations. We also focus on continuously upgrading the quality and functionality of our products and manufacturing processes
addressing specific customer requirements and market segments and to improve operational efficiencies
Competition:
We compete with large organised companies as well as smaller regionally based competitors. Some of our competitors may have
greater resources than those available to us. While product quality, brand value, timely delivery, customer network, etc. are key
factors in customer decisions among competitors, however, price and quality are the deciding factor in most cases.

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. The main purpose of
these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, trade and
other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company periodically reviews the risk management policy
so that the management manages the risk through properly defined mechanism. The focus is to foresee the unpredictability and
minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s overall risk management procedures
to minimise the potential adverse effects of financial market on the Company’s performance are as follows:
Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and
commodity risk.
The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk from long-term borrowings at variable rate. Currently the Company has
external borrowings and borrowings which are fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Company achieves the optimum interest rate
profile by refinancing when the interest rates go down. However, this does not protect Company entirely from the risk of paying
rates in excess of current market rates nor eliminates fully cash flow risk associated with variability in interest payments, it considers
that it achieves an appropriate balance of exposure to these risks.
Foreign Currency Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign
currency rates. Exposures can arise on account of the various assets and liabilities which are denominated in currencies other than
Indian Rupee.

(b) Financial assets:

Equivalent in ₹ lakhs 855.32 2,729.39 4,271.55
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a
financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing
activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics
of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which customers operate, has less influence
on the credit risk.
The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as none of its customers constitutes
significant portions of trade receivables as at the year end.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by Company's treasury in accordance with the Company’s
policy. The company limits its exposure to credit risk by only placing balances with local banks of good repute. Given the profile of
its bankers, management does not expect any counterparty to fail in meeting its obligations.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial
instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial
asset quickly at close to its fair value.
The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term
funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the
maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash
equivalents.
Surplus funds not immediately required are invested in certain financial assets which provide flexibility to liquidate at short notice
and are included in cash equivalents.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

to the UPI Circulars, the UPI Mechanism has been introduced in a phased manner as a payment mechanism (in addition to
mechanism of blocking funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under ASBA) for applications by RIBs through
Designated Intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from six
Working Days to up to three Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems
408
and to ensure complete and smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI Circulars have introduced the UPI
Mechanism in three phases in the following manner:
Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019, until March 31, 2019, or floating of five main board public
issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended till June 30, 2019.
Under this phase, a RIB had the option to submit the ASBA Form with any of the Designated Intermediary and use his/ her
UPI ID for the purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public issue closure to listing continued to be six
Working Days.
Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019 and was to initially continue for a period of three months or
floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. SEBI vide its circular no.

Phase II until March 31, 2020. Subsequently, SEBI vide its circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March

discontinued and replaced by the UPI Mechanism. However, the time duration from public issue closure to listing continues
to be six Working Days during this phase.
Phase III: This phase has become applicable on a voluntary basis for all issues opening on or after September 1,2023 and
has become applicable on a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023, vide SEBI circular bearing
number SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 9, 2023 (“T+3 Notification”). In this phase, the time duration
from public issue closure to listing has been reduced to three Working Days. The Offer shall be undertaken pursuant to the
processes and procedures as notified in the T+3 Notification as applicable, subject to any circulars, clarification or
notification issued by SEBI from time to time, including any circular, clarification or notification which may be issued by

specific requirements for redressal of investor grievances for applications that have been made through the UPI Mechanism.
The requirements of the UPI Streaming Circular include, appointment of a nodal officer by the SCSB and submission of
their details to SEBI, the requirement for SCSBs to send SMS alerts for the blocking and unblocking of UPI mandates, the
requirement for the Registrar to submit details of cancelled, withdrawn or deleted applications, and the requirement for the
bank accounts of unsuccessful Bidders to be unblocked no later than one day from the date on which the Basis of Allotment
is finalised. Failure to unblock the accounts within the timeline would result in the SCSBs being penalised under the relevant
securities law. Additionally, if there is any delay in the redressal of investors’ complaints, the relevant SCSB as well as the
post– Offer BRLM will be required to compensate the concerned investor.
The Offer will be made under UPI Phase III. All SCSBs offering the facility of making application in public issues shall
also provide facility to make application using UPI. The Company will be required to appoint one of the SCSBs as a sponsor
bank to act as a conduit between the Stock Exchanges and NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and / or payment

RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and
FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can
be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be
made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the
Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain
prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for
granting approval for foreign investment. The Government has from time to time made policy pronouncements of foreign
direct investment (“FDI”) trough press notes and press releases. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal
Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India (“DPIIT”), issued the Consolidated FDI Policy Circular
of 2020 (“FDI Policy”) which, with effect from October 15, 2020, subsumes and supersedes all press notes, press releases,
clarifications, circulars issued by the DPIIT, which were in force as on October 15, 2020. The FDI Policy will be valid and
remain in force until superseded in totality or in part thereof.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI, provided
that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the FDI Policy and transfer does not
attract theprovisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under
the FDI Policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
As per FDI Policy, FDI in companies engaged in the manufacturing which is the sector in which our Company operates, is
permitted up to 100% of the equity share capital under automatic route.
All investments under the foreign direct investment route by entities of a country which shares land border with India or
where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country will require prior
approval of the Government of India. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct
investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid
restriction/purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of
India. These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments.
For details of the aggregate limit for investments by NRIs and FPIs in our Company, see “Issue Procedure – Bids by Eligible
Non-Resident Indians” and “Issue Procedure – Bids by Foreign Portfolio Investors” on pages 407, respectively. As per the
existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs could not participate in this Issue. For further details, see “Issue
Procedure” beginning on page 407 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
The Equity Shares offered in the Issue have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any
other applicable law of the United States and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold within the United
States, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of
the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Equity Shares are being offered and
sold (i) within the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined
in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and referred to in this Red Herring Prospectus as “U.S. QIBs”, for the
avoidance of doubt, the term U.S. QIBs does not refer to a category of institutional investor defined under applicable
Indian regulations and referred to in this Red Herring Prospectus as “QIBs”) pursuant to Section 4(a) of the U.S.
Securities Act, and (ii) outside the United States in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S 383 under
the U.S. Securities Act and the applicable laws of the jurisdiction where those offers and sales occur.
Bidders are advised to ensure that any Bid from them does not exceed investment limits or the maximum number
of Equity Shares that can be held by them under applicable law. Further, each Bidder where required must agree
in the Allotment Advice that such Bidder will not sell or transfer any Equity Shares or any economic interest therein,
including any off-shore derivative instruments, such as participatory notes, issued against the Equity Shares or any
similar security, other than in accordance with applicable laws.
The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered, listed or otherwise qualified in any other jurisdiction
outside India and may not be offered or sold, and Bids may not be made by persons in any such jurisdiction, except
in compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction.
The above information is given for the benefit of the Bidders. Our Company and the Book Running Lead Manager
are not liable for any amendments or modification or changes in applicable laws or regulations, which may occur
after the date of this Red Herring Prospectus. Bidders are advised to make their independent investigations and
